Hi Matt, I have a question about the timing of Fridays round. I know the tee times will be posted on Thursday by 3pm, but i was wondering if you would be able to maybe narrow down when we might finish on Friday. I'm playing in the intermediate division. I saw a lineup of the rounds according to division and i think intermediate was earlier in the day, but i also saw different info posted, so i just wanted to clarify. I have some friends coming into town Friday night and just want to be able and ball park a time for Friday. Thank You
Hi Richard, MA2 has their tee times between 8:20am and 9:30am everyday of the tournament. On average, each round takes between 4 and 4.5 hours to play. You should be fine for Friday night.
Tee times are also already posted.
The tee times that are published are not official. Official tee times will be posted on Thursday afternoon.
Just curious what would cause a tee time to be changed if they are already posted. I assume drops, but if anyone that is already on there drops, would you not just insert a waitlister in that spot? I like 8:50, I hope it doesn't change :)
Roger, in a perfect world, yes I would just add a waitlist player, if a waitlist player was available. Should there not be a waitlist player available, then the groups would be adjusted. Please do not go off the posted tee times because they are subject to change. The Official tee times will be posted Thursday afternoon.
To expand on that answer, sometimes we have divisions that we've oversold, to account for divisions that are undersold. This can create some tricky grouping situations that are compounded by drops. Sometimes we have threesomes that get a drop and someone has to shift from another group. Tee times are not likely to shift much, if at all, but we reserve the right for the reasons stated above.
Fair, thanks for that explanation. I will await the official times
