Joel Cook Does anyone know what the Discraft prototype disc from the players pack is ? Jul 17, 2016
Craig Clingan Jul 16, 2016 I was told by a pretty good source that it's a straight Flash, so we'll see...
Kris Vezino Lost pink sparkle predator in creek just left of bridge on 4 at birds ruins and also a green buzzz os on the pyramid of charred discs hole, left in the weeds pin highest but deep. Course was a lot of fun to play, new holes are great additions. Hit chains on 13b, am side of course Jul 13, 2016
Roger Vartabedian Found a disc on hole 18 at Elver on Monday. Initials DM (I believe) inside rim. If you know the disc and color, please message me and I'll return. If not, it will be dropped at Glide tomorrow afternoon when I head to play Hiestand Jul 13, 2016
Dave Meyer Jul 14, 2016 White outlaw
Benny G. Left a extremely important clipboard behind at Elvers. It has green sparkle glitter and says GBO amateur championship on it. If found please please pretty please return to TD or myself. Please call me at 1248 773 6771 Jul 12, 2016
Elijah Wykes Jul 12, 2016 does ity say benny '' I just took a five '' geo on it?
MarkS Barnett Hey, Patti Joseph had her cart shipped to Madison, and it got delivered at the wrong hotel, no one knows which, including UPS. Would people here please check at the front desk of their hotels for a big box addressed to her? Thanks. Jul 10, 2016

MarkS Barnett Jul 13, 2016 Thanks
Andrew Sweeton Jul 13, 2016 A mystery box was found at the Crowne Plaza this morning, it contains a used Zuca Cart, with discs that say Patty Joseph on them. We are also sending a text to the number on the discs.
MarkS Barnett Jul 15, 2016 If unclaimed, I call first dibs! :P
Steven Cain So I'm just curious when the waitlists can expect refunds? Jul 10, 2016

MARK KRUSE Jul 10, 2016 i like option 2 better!
steve kuntz Why did The Grandmaster waitlist disappear I thought we had till Monday Jul 10, 2016
Steve Klehfoth Jul 10, 2016 Field was set on the 8th. No additions after that date regardless of drops.
Carl Hall What's the schedule for the field events tomorrow? I'm signed up go do mini golf but I want to get in one or two practice rounds and I'd like to know when the mini golf event occurs. The schedule is pretty vague in saying it's from 10am to 4pm. Jul 10, 2016
Andrew Sweeton Jul 9, 2016 10am-4pm is correct, show up during that time frame and do whatever event(s) you registered for. I'd be there before 3 pm though as it gets crowded at the end.
steve kuntz
Needs to be renamed why not just call it something else it's not a world championship not everybody invited or qualified is allowed a chance to compete this is stupid I planned my whole year around t ... show more ›

Will Rosa Jul 10, 2016 It is disappointing to see the criteria / process has not addressed the root cause of problem which is a random computer entry process .
Will Rosa Jul 10, 2016 Note: for 2017 -
Brian Usher Jul 10, 2016
Steve, my main thought is that we should support the players in their quest and not question their l ... show more ›
Justin Darr What is the most technical course? Longest? Thanks. Jul 9, 2016
Stephen M Good luck you all those who got in. Hope to see you guys next year! Jul 9, 2016
A Grace Jul 8, 2016 Sad face.
Dan Kuipers Jul 8, 2016 Grace, looks like you got in. I've been following your adventures for months now. Good Luck
Shane Waltemeyer Was wondering how they are doing the refunds for the people on wait list I payed with credit card already payed it off how does that work? Jul 8, 2016
Roger Vartabedian For anyone out in the Wisconsin area, what is the weather looking like? Jul 7, 2016
Chris Dierkens Jul 7, 2016 Scattered light to heavy rain starting at noon until about 4am tomorrow. Then clear.
Mike Harrington Jul 7, 2016 Looks like a fairly warm week (normally high 70's to low 80's but we may touch upper 80's)
Brian Usher
I figure it is obvious - but if anyone is not going don’t forget to withdraw and request your refund by tomorrow (Friday) - lots of people on the various wait lists and they won’t fill t ... show more ›

Steve Lambert Elver disc course looks great, but last night's rains left a very slick mud on long tee 13. BE CAREFUL. Needs a clean up. Jul 7, 2016

DOUGLAS GORMAN Jul 6, 2016 thanks for thinking of me :-)
A Grace Jul 7, 2016 All waitlist registrants who are still on the waitlist at the EOD on Friday, July 8th will receive a full refund.
Roy Lyons Jul 7, 2016 I figure I will not go through the trouble of requesting the confirmation email since it will be done on Friday anyway.
Jenn Schopfer What are the chances that 3rd on the waitlist for Advanced Women has to getting in? Jul 6, 2016
Joseph Rawling Jul 6, 2016 Probably pretty good, although I heard something about Grace A requesting wait list #1, #2, #3, and #4. Therefore your chances may not be quite as good. ;)
A Grace Jul 6, 2016
I feel your pain Jenn. I've had offers for people to drop out so I could attend, it's not how I want ... show more ›

Michele Klasen Jul 5, 2016 Nice. :)
Darren Schatz Jul 6, 2016 If you play with one of us douglasville ga you get a mini but im still on wait list #10 not looking good,still going for weekend
Rob Martin While this doesn't fix all of the problems with registration this year, it does start the process by reducing the number of invites extended.

A Grace Jul 5, 2016 Good luck. Two more days for hope.
MARK KRUSE Jul 5, 2016 if we do not get in and we are there and we did not withdraw by the deadline do we get a player pack of some kind?
Jerry Swamii Swain Jul 7, 2016 Check in is Sunday and Monday, how will they know who the Notes Shows are on Friday? I emailed the TD for clarification.
Steven Cain Where do I go to get a refund for this event? Jul 3, 2016

Chuck Brunke Jul 5, 2016 We are staying at Motel 6. $400 for 9 nights
Kristy Moore Jul 5, 2016 There are for sure some cheap options left. It'll be super basic places but you can still get something for under 500
Kristy Moore Jul 5, 2016 There was a guy a couple of posts down looking for people to fill his rooms as well
Tanner Lyons Does anyone know when MA1 Pools are going to be announced ? Jul 3, 2016
Brandon Phipps Jul 2, 2016 The pools are ratings based , organinize rating under players , count down , every 72 is a pool
Vincent Polidori Jul 2, 2016 July 4th is when pools are announced. They aren't finalized until July 8th if people still drop out.
Chris Dierkens Jul 2, 2016 ^ yep...
Roger Vartabedian As an AM player, we are not required to wear collared shirts for the prelim rounds. We are able to wear drifit shirts, correct? Jul 1, 2016
Kris Vezino Jul 1, 2016 The rule book says performance shirts are acceptable at any level, collared or not.
Roger Vartabedian Jul 1, 2016 Great, I was just making sure so I know what to pack.
VINCENT 25149 anybody need a place to stay I have a double room I would love to split the cost with somebody or 2 or 3. I have 2 different rooms on @ 99 a night and 1 @45 a night. Jul 1, 2016

Henry Theodoroff Jun 30, 2016 thank you
Shane Waltemeyer How often is the wait list updated and usually what time is it done thank you in advance Jun 30, 2016
Roger Vranak Since we have so many on the wait list maybe rather than dropping the wait list number off change it to in leaving wait list their ? That might be a way of showing everyone the progress and their chances of getting rather than a guessing game Jun 29, 2016
show 2 earlier comments
Michele Klasen Jun 29, 2016 Did you mean to say....Since we have so many on the waitlist, rather than removing it, leave it up and updated so that people can see if they stand a chance? :)
Craig Clingan Jun 29, 2016 It sounds to me like he's looking for a way to see who used to be on the wait list and how long ago they were moved to the playing list. Not sure there's a way to do that.
Roger Vranak Jun 29, 2016 yes lol
Jacynthe Goulard Any female looking for a place to stay, send me a message! Jun 29, 2016
Garrett Emenheiser Anyone know if they are dropping out of jr 2 boys? Jun 29, 2016

VINCENT 25149 anybody have an open spot in their hotel/cabin/campsite available? Jun 24, 2016

Please follow that page for additional information before and during the event, and as another way to connect with your fellow participants.
Jun 24, 2016
Brian Usher Hey there fellow disc golfers - I am curious as to if there are any Grandmasters on the fence about going? Or, if everyone is set and I should just stop checking the waitlist. Like a lot of people just trying to make plans. Best of luck and friendly winds to everyone playing! Jun 24, 2016

Roy Lyons Jun 24, 2016 I say our odds are 50/50
Roger Vranak Jun 27, 2016 one things that would be nice is to know the date when wait list people will not be added to play??
Brian Usher Jun 27, 2016 its under the registration schedule

Rodney Barnett Maybe a dumb question with an obvious answer, but can anyone tell me why there are now (-2) spots available overall with 578/ 576 spots filled? There has been a large decline in people on the waitlist, which is to be expected around this time, but for some reason the registered players has gone up? Jun 23, 2016
Roy Lyons Jun 23, 2016 The empty spots in the Junior pool were given to player on the Junior pool waitlist.
Nathan Winfield My wife (Shannon Winfield ) and I (Nathan Winfield ) had to drop out of this tournament and sent a refund request. We did not get any email confirmation or anything. Can someone tell me what I am supposed to do about this? Jun 23, 2016
Steve Klehfoth Jun 23, 2016 Sent you a Facebook PM Nate
Andrew Sweeton Jun 25, 2016 You were both refunded on 6/23 when I got the requests. It can take 5-10 days to show on your bank statement.
ralph matrau How long prior to tournament, will we know if we are in? Also I will need another confirmation email in case I need to withdraw for refund pls Jun 21, 2016
Roger Vranak Jun 21, 2016 I would suggest you contact the PDGA as I doubt they follow this forum
Roger Vranak Jun 21, 2016 thanks Vic now anyone else needing this link will have it
