2022 Otter Open Driven by Innova

Andrew Fredericksen Left an almost brand new firebird on hole 4 of oaks with name and number on inside of rim. Went back a few holes later and was already gone. Really hope whoever picked it up turns it in. No call and wasn’t in the lost and found bin. Feb 21, 2022

Jimmy Hunt Feb 21, 2022 I've got your disc Andrew! I.live in Santa Cruz but I'll make sure you get your disc back!

Edward Elam Caddie Book? Feb 18, 2022

A.J. Wecker Feb 18, 2022 I'll be sending everyone course rules and maps via e-mail here shortly. Not quite a caddy book, but it'll help! I also inputted the rules for each hole on the live scoring.

Schuyler Raine-Mustain I have some tasty EV-7 putters for sale, let me know if you have a need. Penrose, Phi and the new Mobius available. Feb 17, 2022

Aric Duktig Feb 23, 2022 Hey Schuyler any glow Phi & price?

Jason Hilbert Feb 16, 2022 Public schools in CA are still under mask mandate rules at this time. The county mandates do not apply to these campuses

A.J. Wecker Feb 17, 2022 Masks will still be required when inside the Meeting House. Thanks for your understanding

Roger Vartabedian Feb 17, 2022 Awesome, thank you for the update AJ. I appreciate it and will be prepared as usual.

Bill Emmack

Just re-booked lodging. A month ago I booked for Saturday night ($99+tax) at Motel 6. Yesterday I decided I should stay Friday night as well. Had to call to add a night to my reservation — new total ... show more ›

Evan Robinson Hey AJ will spots be added to get some people off the waitlist or is 160 the capacity? Currently 4th on the waitlist but would love to play this tournament again Feb 14, 2022

A.J. Wecker Feb 14, 2022

Evan, I'm sorry, but we'll be unable to expand beyond 160. If you don't get in to the event, you wil ... show more ›

Maxwell Cazanov-Diggs Will we receive an email soon with details, including if we need to upload vax info? Feb 14, 2022

A.J. Wecker Feb 14, 2022 Maxwell, yes, all participants will receive an e-mail later today with details.

Maxwell Cazanov-Diggs Feb 14, 2022 Awesome, thank you!!

Chris Illes Will first round be in our division or mixed divisions? I think PDGA said no more mixed division cards in tournaments. Feb 14, 2022

Edward Elam Feb 14, 2022 I just played in a C-tier on Saturday and 1st round was mixed division.

A.J. Wecker Feb 14, 2022 Only a few mixed divisions in order to make foursomes. For the most part everyone will be with their own division.

CR Gonzales Hi A.J. Unfortunately I have to pull out of the tournament I had a death in the family. Can you please refund my entry fee? Thank you Feb 14, 2022

Daniel Charlip-Blumlein Hi there,

I’m on the waitlist but. Unfortunately I am going to have to withdraw from the tournament. Thanks! Feb 13, 2022

A.J. Wecker Feb 13, 2022 Got it. Refund sent.

Clay Reed I do not want to withdraw, however due to the total stomping on my personal medical choice to not take experimental drugs I’m being shut out of the sport I love. I can play the course the day before and the days to follow the tournament without a medical mandate. What a disservice to the sport! Feb 4, 2022

A.J. Wecker Jan 19, 2022 Sparrow, you've been refunded and removed from the list. I'm so sorry to hear that you can't make it!

Sparrow Baranyai Jan 24, 2022 Me too A.J.! Thanks

Bart Eccles Is their any organized camping for us? Jan 18, 2022

A.J. Wecker Jan 18, 2022

No organized camping. However the best nearby camping options are at Laguna Seca or Veterans Park. I ... show more ›

Kyle Narahara Do people ever bring their girlfriends to caddy for them? Jan 18, 2022

Joey Garcia Jan 19, 2022 Yeah I’ve seen that before. Just make sure to check out the PDGA rules about caddying beforehand. There are some rules that apply specifically to caddies that may or may not be obvious.

Kellen Martin Hey AJ, I can't get that weekend off of work. Please take me off of the waitlist at your convenience. I hope I get to see you soon Jan 15, 2022

A.J. Wecker Jan 16, 2022 Done.

John O A.J. sorry brother I have to pull out. Krash, just posted our CVS Winterjam for that weekend. Can you please send refund.
Have a great tourney. Jan 13, 2022

John O Jan 14, 2022 Well I did want to pound on Krash for taking his sweet ass time, but were brothers to the end. So I'll pound on him at the WJ.

Schuyler Raine-Mustain Jan 14, 2022 Sometimes you just have to use the pull out method

Edward Poynor Jan 14, 2022 Whoop whoop !

Edward Poynor Traveling from Reno and on the waitlist . Did i read that right 8pm day before we will know if were in ? Jan 12, 2022

Edward Poynor Jan 12, 2022 ok sounds good .

Daniel Charlip-Blumlein Hi there!

I’m 4th on the waitlist in AM1. I’m just wondering what my chances are for getting into the tournament? I was just curious for planning purposes. Jan 11, 2022

show 1 earlier comment

Bill Emmack Jan 11, 2022 Kidding! But that’s the nature of waitlist spots — you usually won’t know until right before the event, possibly day of. Plan accordingly.

Roger Vartabedian Jan 11, 2022 I was promoted off the waitlist at 8:00 pm a few years back.

A.J. Wecker Jan 11, 2022 Daniel, your chances aren't too bad! The Otter Open traditionally has a lot of drops because of the high cost of lodging and the weather. I'd suggest sticking it out!

John O Hotel Suggestions? Jan 10, 2022

John O Jan 11, 2022 I've been looking at Abnb, might need to stay 30 minutes away for something affortable.

John O Jan 12, 2022 Excellent! Thank you A.J.

Kyle Narahara Which course will be played first in the MA1 division Jan 9, 2022

Roger Vartabedian Jan 10, 2022 Am should play Cyprus twice, Oaks once.

Joey Garcia Jan 10, 2022 MA1 is part of the "A pool" and will play Oaks twice and Cypress once. Last Otter Open A pool played Oaks first Saturday morning, and then Cypress in the afternoon.

Rey Ramirez Hey A.J.
I just saw the vaccine passport is required. Any chance a negative test would be sufficient? Jan 8, 2022

Rey Ramirez Jan 8, 2022 OK thank you AJ.

Rey Ramirez Jan 8, 2022 Any chance you know where I can go and get all three? I'll do it. LOL. Maybe just the booster. Haha.

Rey Ramirez Jan 8, 2022 It's all good, at least my very last Otter open was with the win.

frank levings thats a bunch of doo doo the vacine does nothing to stop the spread or you getting sick keep tooing the line sheeeeep Jan 6, 2022

Sparrow Baranyai Jan 6, 2022 Not a place to air your ……….

Justin Hoyt Jan 6, 2022 I'll take "People I'm never playing with" for $1000, Alex

Sparrow Baranyai Any chance to play FA60?? The 19th is my birthday!! Jan 5, 2022

A.J. Wecker Jan 5, 2022

We are only offering FA40 this year. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience! But we are going to try to ... show more ›

Sparrow Baranyai Jan 5, 2022 Thanks A.J. Really looking forward to coming out to play!

Ron G Can we play casual rounds on Campus without being vaxxed? It's been years since I've even played these courses. Was looking forward to the tourney and then saw the vax thing.
I'm sure it's going to be a blast! So many new players! Great to see. Jan 5, 2022

Ron G Jan 6, 2022 Awesome! I figured they have the requirements in place for having large events. Thanks for the heads up, I'll get in touch before I head down. I heard Ryan Ranch closed too? Sad!

A.J. Wecker Jan 6, 2022 Yes, Ryan Ranch has been closed for 3 years now, but we will be getting it back shortly! Definitely hit me up when you are in Monterey, it'd be great to see you!

Ron G Jan 9, 2022 That's awesome about RR!!! Woohoo! For sure A.J.! It's been quite a while! I'll make a trip out that way soon!

Aric Duktig I apologize for complaining. I’ve never played it and always wanted to and will be stoked either way. Thanks A.J. Jan 5, 2022

A.J. Wecker Jan 5, 2022 No problem at all Aric! I could have put more info into the DiscGolfScene page.

Mariano Hernandez Will you be adding more players to this tournament? Or is it a strict 160? Jan 5, 2022

A.J. Wecker Jan 5, 2022

I am sorry Mariano. But it's strictly 160. We have two courses with 20 holes each. That's a 4-some o ... show more ›

Aric Duktig Woulda been nice to know only playing Oaks once and Cypress twice. Jan 5, 2022

A.J. Wecker Jan 5, 2022 Aric, I apologize for that. This is the same format that we have used for the last 5-6 years. We used to do 4 rounds, but it was always rough getting people on the road at a decent hour on Sunday.

Marc Umeno Can I move to MA50 to get off the waitlist for MA2? I qualify for that too :) Jan 5, 2022

Andrew Fredericksen Getting screwed by it saying my pdga isnt current when it is :( Jan 5, 2022

colin mchenry Jan 5, 2022 You’re on there buddy

Roger Vartabedian Jan 5, 2022 Good thing you got in

Roger Vartabedian Both courses are being played? Not just Oaks, right? Schedule doesn’t mention Cyprus Jan 5, 2022

A.J. Wecker Jan 5, 2022 Yep. There is an A pool which is all Pro divisions plus MA1 that will play Oaks twice and Cypress once. The B pool, which is all other AMs will play Cypress twice and Oaks once.

Roger Vartabedian Jan 5, 2022 Cool, the schedule only says Oaks

Scott brown Booster shot as well ??? When will you know if that’s official ??? Jan 4, 2022

Sparrow Baranyai Jan 5, 2022 So some of us are not eligible for the booster here in canada…. Is that going to be an issue??? I am double vaxed

A.J. Wecker Jan 5, 2022 Sparrow, we will let you know ASAP if we feel this will be an issue. Right now we do not know for sure regarding the booster requirement. Thanks for your patience!

Sparrow Baranyai Jan 5, 2022 Thanks for the update!
