Patrick Taylor Oct 31, 2024 When should we see the email for the gift card?
Gordon Merck Nov 1, 2024 It should have been sent out yesterday.
Gordon Merck DAY TWO TEE TIMES HAVE BEEN POSTED!! Oct 26, 2024
greg “Chain Hunter” placides Oct 26, 2024 Was there a par adjustment Indy mixed ?
Gordon Merck Oct 27, 2024 Yes, hole 7 was supposed to be a par 4. I mistakenly put it at as a three and fixed it after the round.
greg “Chain Hunter” placides Oct 27, 2024 I was about to say that was the hardest par 3????
Gordon Merck FINAL TEE TIMES HAVE BEEN POSTED!! Please check your email and your tee time, as you MAY have shifted just a little. Oct 25, 2024

Gordon Merck Oct 25, 2024 Tee times have not been set yet. Once they are set you should be good. Also it is all caps.
Quinn Finnegan Oct 25, 2024 The code still isn’t working for me
Steven Peterson II Oct 25, 2024 Awesome, thanks it works now!
Owen Stewart Just to confirm based on the caddie book; no OB right on Goliath hole #1 for MA1? Oct 25, 2024
Gordon Merck Oct 25, 2024 That has been updated.
Morgan Clark Oct 25, 2024
Hey Gordon, also wanted to confirm the wording in the caddie books for Falling Creek Hole 20. Is the ... show more ›
Gordon Merck Oct 25, 2024 the like was a definitely a typo and has been fixed!! But to clarify, it is just the paved section. accross is not OB.

Charles Clusman Oct 25, 2024 Gordon, now that the start has gone to tee times I am able to play. Any chance I could still enter today?
Jonathan Price Oct 25, 2024 Get Charles in!
Jonathan Price Oct 25, 2024 Poor Jaren doesn’t have a time yet
Patrick Meadows I have not received any of the emails for the tournament info could you please try sending the to this email [email redacted] Oct 25, 2024
Gordon Merck Oct 25, 2024 Yes, I will be sending out another email today. I was waiting for registration to close.
Jaren Heard Will there be any in person registration sign ups on Saturday? Oct 25, 2024
Gordon Merck Oct 25, 2024 I am sorry, there will not be any in person sign-ups. But if you would like to sign up please message me and let me know.
Charles Clusman Oct 25, 2024 Gordon, I'd like to enter now that the event has moved to tee times as I will now be able to make the start.
Gordon Merck Oct 25, 2024 Message me Charles!
Tyler Houck Any update yet on if it's gonna be shotgun or tee times? Oct 25, 2024
Gordon Merck Oct 25, 2024 We will be doing tee times.
Cody Bradshaw If shotgun start are we playing 3 rounds or just 2? :). Oct 24, 2024
Joseph Seitz Oct 24, 2024 Now that's a great point
Noah Ranck If the tournament is switched to a shotgun start, is there a way prepared to transport players out to the farther holes at New London and Goliath? Oct 24, 2024
Gordon Merck Oct 24, 2024 Transportation to starting holes would not be given.
Noah Ranck Oct 24, 2024 In that case, please keep it staggered start. The walk to farther holes at those courses will be unavoidable with division sizes and very disadvantageous for anyone who has to make those walks.
jackson lozier Oct 24, 2024 I have to agree with Noah Goliath especially would be rough
Asher Beaudin If the rounds get switched to a shotgun start like it was mentioned in the email, is there an estimate on when that shotgun start would actually be each day? Oct 23, 2024
Gordon Merck Oct 23, 2024 Earliest would be 8:30 latest would be 10am. I will be announcing start times once registration has officially closes.
Ethan Troyer Am I reading the caddy book right, the creek on hole 4 at Independence is ob? Oct 23, 2024
Gordon Merck Oct 23, 2024 Yes, surrounded by water is OB at Independence.
Joel Robinette Oct 23, 2024 That’s new cause usually that hole didn’t play OB in the past but I guess it makes trying to make it across more rewarding and punish being in the creek
Joseph Seitz Any players party this year? Oct 23, 2024
Mike Armstrong Oct 23, 2024 Sounds like Apocalypse Ale Works will have an unofficial players party Saturday Night, per their comment on Facebook.
Joseph Seitz Oct 23, 2024 Gotcha, I'm trying to run back cornhole style putting tournament if that's an option...
Gordon Merck Oct 23, 2024 Unfortunately there will be no official player's party this year. But Apocalypse will be welcoming any players to hang out!!
Gordon Merck For those wanting to practice at Goliath. The course will be open this week for practice. Please drive slow on Perennial Lane getting to the course. Also, if you see anyone working on the course, please be courteous and not throw toward them. Thank you!! Oct 22, 2024
Gordon Merck Caddie Books have been sent out, please check your email!!

Noah Ranck Oct 23, 2024 I also kind of feel Owen's concern.
Gordon Merck Oct 23, 2024 The start times will be officially announced once registration closes. I will do my best to make sure that no players have to walk too far for their starting hole.
Joseph Seitz Oct 24, 2024
I'm a bit confused as to why a shotgun start would be preferred to tee times for a larger field. Nor ... show more ›

Jerod hannold Is there a chance that MP divisions could be moved to play New London and Goliath courses? Oct 15, 2024
Joel Robinette Hey Gordon! Are you going to keep registration open till the date shown still? I’ll be registering on the 23rd so I just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss out on this one! Oct 14, 2024
Gordon Merck Oct 17, 2024 Yeah! Registration will stay open until the posted date!
Joel Robinette Oct 23, 2024 Just registered! I am assuming I’ll get the email for the caddy book within the next day or so?
Gordon Merck Oct 23, 2024 Yes, I have tweaked the caddie books a little bit and will re-send once registration has officially closed along with start times!
Chris McGrath
Hi Gordon, my son and I are thinking about registering, me for MA50 and him for MJ15 or 18, we like the courses for those divisions (Ind. short and Moneta short) but are worried that those divisions p ... show more ›
Oct 14, 2024
Tommy Landseadel Oct 14, 2024 I’m in the same boat. Would prefer to play those layouts
Gordon Merck Oct 16, 2024 I will be making and posting that decision today. Moneta may be moved, but Independence is likely to stay!

Daniel Smith Is this a fund raiser for Kenny’s family? Oct 9, 2024
Gordon Merck Oct 11, 2024 Hello! The money will be going toward Bedford Parks and Rec with the hopes of creating a plaque or memoriam in the future for Kenny!
Steven Peterson II Oct 18, 2024 That’s cool!
Larry Lewis Is the Independent mix layout a mix of short and long tee pads or basket positions? Sep 14, 2024
Gordon Merck Sep 14, 2024 It is going to be a mix of both! I am heading out there this coming week to finalize the layout for the mixed courses! looking to get the layouts posted next weekend!
Mike Armstrong To confirm, MA1 and MPO are playing the same courses/layout (Goliath and New London - both from longs), but just on opposite days? Any chance this changes? Sep 11, 2024
