Also, have the Pay To Play courses waived their daily fees for tournament players, especially out-of-towners, to practice without additional cost? Jul 18, 2014
Steve Ganz Jul 19, 2014 Dave, look at the divisional caps. There is no room.
Steve Ganz Jul 19, 2014 Course entry fees have been discounted from $5 to $3 per day for all participants at Kaposia, Valley and Blue Ribbon Pines.

robin mclean Jul 17, 2014 THanks Steve. ANy info on waitlist notification? I'm third on GMaster list...do I need to be right by the phone or email at the time.
Steve Ganz Jul 18, 2014 No. You will be automatically added and you will receive a notification via email.
robin mclean Jul 18, 2014 Good on that. Would just be impossible otherwise. THanks Steve.
Jeromy Morgan I think it should have been put to a vote per division on if we could have had 5 people groups to expand the field instead of someone making the decision for us! Jul 17, 2014
robin mclean Does anyone know the waitlist notification procedure? Do I get called and have to be home? Emailed and have to reply within a certain amount of time? Jul 16, 2014
Bill Adams Can anyone with the tourney or the pdga explain the pooling process? What determines which pool you are placed in. Just curious, thanks. Jul 16, 2014

Bill Adams Jul 17, 2014 What is the purpose of putting the 25 highest rated players in the a pool
Marty Gregwah Jul 17, 2014 The purpose is to front load that pool with the top players for media and promotional purposes.
Bill Adams Jul 17, 2014 I can appreciates the that. I only hope this practice does not in anyway create an unfair playing environment or threaten the integrity of the game, playing with better players usually push me, of
Barry Hutton What's up with the pooling is it not by rating? Jul 16, 2014
Bill Adams Jul 15, 2014 I'm not sure how they do it but I would hope it would be random
Jamalle Castillo Jul 15, 2014 The way I was explained it works is that they place the top 25 rated players in pool A, after that it's as random as they can make it.
Bill Adams Jul 15, 2014 What is the reasoning for putting the top 25 in the same pool
Bill Adams Please disregard my last post. It is hard to keep track of my chances of getting in with the registered players list changing the way it is. Players that were in the advanced field less than an hour ago are now back in front if me on the adv master wait list Jul 15, 2014
Steve Ganz Jul 15, 2014 Each division has its own waitlist. If a player drops out of Advanced it does not affect the Advanced Masters wait list.
Bill Adams Just wondering if the wait list updates automatically? 1,2,3 and 5 are either in the tourney or withdrew. I believe I am second on the wait list now but the site still has me at 6. And only shows #4. Jul 14, 2014
Justin Bambury Couple of quick questions for anyone who may know. 1) Are there scorecards with the yardages being played during worlds available yet? 2) Some of the courses look kinda flat and open, are there ob lines between fairways at all? Jul 14, 2014
Steve Ganz Jul 13, 2014 All the information we have online is available at http://www.pdga.com/2014amworlds/courses. Caddy books with distances and OB will be available at player check in.
Justin Bambury Jul 14, 2014 Thanks Steve.
Steve Ganz Jul 18, 2014 Updated course information with course maps and rules available at http://www.pdga.com/2014amworlds/courses
Genevieve B Can I sign up for the mixed doubles tournament on Saturday, the day of? Jul 12, 2014

Steve Ganz Jul 7, 2014 All players who are on the waitlist and do not make it into the event will receive a full refund minus the $10 handling fee regardless of whether or not they request it prior to July 11th.
Walter Rayburn I would like to withdraw my name from the wait list, but can not find the email with the link to cancel. I would appreciate help with this matter.

Bill Adams Are there a fixed number of spots available? It seems the max number changes. Any chance of adding to the adv. mstr. Field Jul 6, 2014
Steve Ganz Jul 6, 2014 Yes. The division caps won't change.
Chris Warfield forgot to sign up for the distance competition when I was signing up, is there a way i can do it now without having to resign up for my division and such? Jun 30, 2014
Steve Ganz Jul 1, 2014 Yep, just go to the register page and select the items you want. No need to reselect anything you've already signed up for.

Steve Ganz Jun 25, 2014 Fivesomes was specifically discussed as an option for Worlds and discarded as it would cause a degraded playing experience for the participants due to the courses and round lengths.

I am on the advanced master wait list as well. Yes the fiel cap sucks. But what also sucks is that in hopes of making the field you must stay registered till the last possible minute. And the the 125 ... show more ›

Jay B If i drop out is there any way my spot can go to one of the masters? I keep seeing these posts and feeling like they got hosed with such a small cap on their division, i will know soon if im cancelling or not i just wanted to see if that was possible first Jun 23, 2014
Steve Ganz Jun 23, 2014 Drops and adds are division specific. If you drop out of Advanced, your spot will be filled with someone on the wait list for Advanced.
Jay B Jun 23, 2014 Thats what i figured, just feeling bad for those guys when i keep seeing their disappointment with the small field cap lol
Steve Ganz Jun 25, 2014 Met too. I wish there was something we could do.
Billy Turnbull Really wondering if u are going to expand the Advanced Masters division? cause im on the wait list and like to know. Jun 23, 2014
Steve Ganz Jun 23, 2014 All division caps are set. There won't be any changes at this point.
jeff evertz What are the chances of #5 advanced masters waitlist making the roster??? I haven't made travel plans yet and am anxiously waiting... seems they are waiting til last minute to finalize this and it kinda makes things difficult. Jun 17, 2014
Steve Ganz Jun 19, 2014 We process drops and replacements from the waitlist as soon as they occur. The registration list will be frozen on July 18th.

Doug O'Dell Jun 16, 2014 Yes
gilles ban how can i add a registration for the mixed doubles? i already registered for the singles Jun 10, 2014
Steve Ganz Jun 10, 2014 Actually, you can just go back in and sign up for Mixed Doubles.
Doug O'Dell Hope this works. I need to withdraw from the tournament and receive a refund. Jun 2, 2014
Marty Gregwah Jun 1, 2014 There should be a refund link in the original confirmation email you received.
Doug O'Dell Jun 2, 2014 I don't have that email. Not sure where it went, but I did pay for the tourney.
Jack Tabor Any chance another course might be added to allow more players? Jun 2, 2014

Wayne Kuntz Jun 3, 2014 It's kinda a shame that they invite 58 hundred people and only have room for 600. I think the PDGA needs to rethink. This area could defintiely handle more players.

Jeromy Morgan Jun 8, 2014 I have a problem with the fact that advanced has so many spots and other divisions have so little!
Justin Bambury It seems some spots were added recently, does anyone know what other divisions may be opened up to more participants? Seems like the number was at 644 originally. May 29, 2014
Steve Ganz Jun 19, 2014 Attempts at securing another course were unsuccessful. There won't be any additional spots opening up.
Billy Ray Osborn Adam Osborn # 43203 signed up for Junior Doubles without a partner. He will now be playing with James Jefferson # 53042. Thank You May 23, 2014
Marty Gregwah May 23, 2014 Please use this link to send the TD the same message, with as much detail as possible. Thank you! http://www.pdga.com/general-contact?pdganum=9537
Billy Ray Osborn May 27, 2014 Sent. Thanks
Robin S Is there a tournament fee for a caddy? May 23, 2014
Marty Gregwah May 23, 2014 None that I know of. Just remember, your caddy is an extension of you, so they must abide by all of the same rules, all the way down to dress code.

Steve Vose The theory of supply and demand really stinks for all of us old timers sitting on the waiting list for Advanced Grandmasters. Has the PDGA ever considered giving more "weight" to lower PDGA numbers for registration preferences at Worlds? Back in the day, seniority had its benefits... May 14, 2014
Don Doss WOW!! I signed up hours after the reg. opened and I am 10th on the waitlist. How does this work? If I wait it out and don't make the entry, do I get refunded or do I get a players pack? I prefer the pack. May 13, 2014

You can request a refund at any time and remove yourself from the waitlist. After the waitlist is sh ... show more ›
David Gebhardt I hope there is still a chance that the Advanced masters and grandmasters will have the divisions increase the cap over 72
I have made worlds every year since 2008 and would hate to miss out not signing up at midnight. I am still hope full !!! May 13, 2014
Mike Rickerd May 13, 2014 We could easily fill up two more course with Advanced Master and Grandmaster.
Jeromy Morgan Why does the advanced division have 288 spots and advanced masters only 72???? May 11, 2014

Mike Rickerd May 13, 2014 The PDGA has done a great job of growing our sport, but they have created a monster. More people then ever want to play in these tournaments.
