The players with fewer strokes seemed to be treated more generously.

Does anyone know of any caddie services available for this week?

One way is to go to the local course pages and request there. The other way is to go to Facebook pages for any of the local clubs and/or various disc golf related pages.

How cart friendly is Blue Gill?

Blue Gill is tough for carts but not unworkable. Severe up and downhills. And the stairs are very long and sharply downhill. On the other side there are 3 risky pond shots where you may well lose a disc forever, so carrying extra plastic is advantageous and most carts carry more than most bags.

Agreed, also when teeing off on 16 walk your car on the path to the left and leave it at the top of the hill. Bringing a card up 17 can be quite the challenge.

Are spectators allowed at Black Falcon on Tuesday? Would a parking/entrance fee be enforced because it is a private course?

Only registered players and their caddies if they have one and tournaments there. Thank you for your understanding!!

The tournament committee would like to ask all players planning on practicing at BlueGill DGC to bring only one other person with them when going to the course. Only registered Masters Worlds tournament players are allowed to practice. Please respect the rules at our private courses. All persons entering will be checked in and verified.

I love the schedule change. Same course twice on the same day is cool . No semis is good also. After 6 1/2 rounds I think a final 9 is,plenty of golf
Amy Markel August 9, 2017 at 11:23pm
Due to the recent schedule changes we will be sending out an email to all volunteers. We are just trying to finalize some details before sending out the email.
John Triezenberg August 9, 2017 at 7:06pm
i have signed up to be a spotter for 2 days at black falcon and 1 day at brewer thru signup.com but have had no follow up response. Are we going to get some more info on this??
David Bihl August 9, 2017 at 7:02pm
Is there going to be tee times for the Black Falcon? When are they going up?
Andrew Sweeton
August 13, 2017 at 10:01pm
Due to parking concerns we have now changed back to Tee Times at Black Falcon. Tee Times will be posted at the end of the Player Meeting.
Scott Elzinga August 8, 2017 at 11:36pm

The worlds committee was responsible for that. So a big thanks to them

FYI for those of you traveling westward down I-96. On my way home from Novi Friday night, there were orange barrels along the right side of the road on I-96 west, starting around the Lowell exit. I'll have to look up on the MDOT website to see exactly when & how long construction will be going on. That is all. Have a nice day.
Jenn Morgan August 5, 2017 at 4:56pm
It appears from the revised course schedule 2.2 (draft) published Aug 2nd that no women attending the event will be playing a semi-final round. Is this correct?
Pam(ouflage) Reineke August 4, 2017 at 8:13pm
Is it listed anywhere what tee boxes will be played. I have searched hard, I must be missing it.
Randy "Shide-Arm" Shideler

To the best of my knowledge, the only courses that have multiple teepads are Fallasburg (every hole has cemented shorts) & Brewer (a few of the longer holes have cement shorts). Riverside & BlueGill do not have short tees. Don't know about Black Falcon. I realize that does not entirely answer your question, but hopefully it helps.
Good question. No answer yet?
Per PDGA, for those who requested check, those have been mailed. PayPal will be issued tomorrow morning.
