Riley Turner: Any chance of a MA65 division?

Riley Turner Any chance of a MA65 division? May 28

Mike Hughes May 28 Agree with that Riley.. My bet is the MA65 division would be larger than the MA60. Lets do it Marty!!!

Riley Turner May 28 There’s quite a few of us Old Dudes. Lol

People age Pete, that is good news. Just because that is what you've always done doesn't always make it right. I do hope you and Marty will consider adding MA65. I can tell you from personal experience there is a vast difference physically between 60 and 69. What have you got to lose, $ for a few extra trophies? Thanks for considering it!!

Underserved wouldn’t be the correct term for the female divisions. They have the same access to registration as the mixed divisions. The MA65 and other divisions not offered would be better described as Underserved.

If the division cap for Ma60 is 8, best case scenario would be 4 players in Ma60 and 4 players in Ma65... is that ideal for you guys? I would think 8 in the division would be more appealing. As far as the older guys being less competitive, they were the young guys in Ma60 once and they got to play against the older guys. Now they have to do the same right?

Riley Turner Jun 3 Why have division caps. Then you are creating underserved divisions that would not be fair to the disc golf community. First come first serve for me is my idea of fairness.

Thanks for the feedback! You make a great point about the physical gap in those age brackets, and it’s something we’ll definitely keep on the radar for future planning. For this year's event, we’re sticking with the MA60, FA60, MP60, and FP60 divisions. We’ve seen how the PDGA is successfully implementing MA65 at Majors—huge congratulations, by the way, on bringing home the Gold at the Tim Selinske U.S. Masters National Championships, Mike! That is an incredible achievement. We hope you'll join us at the 2026 TOP to defend your MA60 titles from last two years!

Mike Hughes Jun 16 Thank you for your consideration Marty, and thanks for the kind words. I'll be there for sure, I love this event!!
