Jarrod Williams I would just like to bring up the fact that there were several people reported on the course smoking today at Hobson. If you don't want to be called out on it tomorrow at Kereiakes tomorrow I'd leave it in the car or risk being DQ'd. May 2
Michael Barnett May 2 Nothing was directly brought up to tournament staff, so if this is an issue, feel free to do so tomorrow and we will address the matter.

Jacquelyn Rieser Since everybody is going to be on the same
Course. I have 2 questions.
1. Is C pool playing a different layout or will we be rated against all the other people?
2. Before sign ups close.Can you give us an anticipated tee order so we can make an arrival plan.

Michael Barnett Apr 27 @ Jessica, the About tab has been updated with all of the Players Pack info.
Michael Barnett Apr 27 @ Brandon, yes, same course each day for all players, different tees based on skill levels when it applies. Yes, still tee times. Check the email that was sent out today.
Michael Barnett Apr 27 @ Chad, yes we agree, but if we would've had 150-250 players, which we anticipated, we would be back at 3 days of play. We will most likely go to 2 days for 2027.
Bob Harris I am still listed in MA3 even though you sent me the requested refund. Apr 2
Jenna Smith Hardenberg Apr 2 Thanks for the heads up. Should be all set now.

Josh Terwilleger Mar 27 Definitely appreciate you all listening to feedback and being flexible with course lineups. Our plans have changed for 2026, but definitely hope to be back down in 2027.
Eric Jenkins Apr 17 What tee pads at Kereiakes? Longs or Shorts?
John Gorrell Apr 23 Longs
Tyler Smith Can you move Graham Smith from MA3 to MA2? I’m his dad - thanks! Mar 19
Jenna Smith Hardenberg Mar 26 All set!
Dylan Waldrop Any ideas on what days there may be flex starts leading up to the tournament? One of my favorite tournaments of the year, and trying to request off work to make sure that I can play in the flex starts leading up to tourney day! Mar 5
Jenna Smith Hardenberg Mar 5 Courses are reserved for Thursday so that’d be the most likely day. Although, there may be others that pop up earlier in the week.
