I was there yesterday. We are trimming some trees that have grown and made a few holes very difficult. The grass has not been mowed yet but should get started later today.

Robert "Rec Rob" Hastings   May 27, 2017 at 10:02am

Thanks for the info and all the hard work!

Ken Sailler    May 23, 2017 at 4:23pm

Saw the shirts today. The picture does not do it justice. They are sweet!

Drew Sanchez    May 23, 2017 at 2:04pm

Any info on what type of tee pads there is going to be? So we can prepare and have the proper footwear.

Mark Stephens   May 16, 2017 at 11:17pm

Lol. I told you back on May 8th that you had an invite. We cannot forecast if anyone will drop out. You will have to make that decision on your own. Yes, you would be refunded if you did not get into the event.

Christopher Koontz    May 15, 2017 at 9:20pm

Any idea when Play pack info will be released ?

If a player accepts Cash in Open in a Southern Nationals event does that DQ them ?

Mark Stephens   May 8, 2017 at 3:57pm

Not unless it was also a PDGA event that which I would be surprised if it was.

Robert "Rec Rob" Hastings   May 8, 2017 at 4:23pm

Ok.. and believe it or not more and more PDGA events are creeping in to my area. A lot of Dual SN/PDGA :) It's a great thing!

Robert "Rec Rob" Hastings    May 8, 2017 at 4:33pm

Just the Toboggan course or is there a 2nd course to be played. Coming from Florida I'm trying to research as much as possible :D

Mark Stephens   May 8, 2017 at 12:48pm

1 round per day on the Tobaggan with tee times.

Robert "Rec Rob" Hastings   May 8, 2017 at 1:12pm

Thanks!

Mark Stephens   May 8, 2017 at 1:31pm

There is a second course in the park but it is not used for this event.

ralph matrau    May 8, 2017 at 12:18pm

Do you need an invite for this or can I sign up

Permalink
Mark Stephens   May 8, 2017 at 8:25am

You do have an invite though. I see it on your profile. You got one because of your rating.

Rob McNeal    May 3, 2017 at 2:09am

I will have to withdraw from this tourney. Stupid knee surgery getting in the way of disc golf. Please let me know if there is anything else I have to do. Thanks

John Minicuci   April 28, 2017 at 8:40pm

Working on them ...

David Garb   April 28, 2017 at 9:23pm

John Minicuci   April 28, 2017 at 10:28pm

It's all good. Sending in the report now to the PDGA. SHouldn't be too much longer.

Justin Phillips    April 28, 2017 at 3:42pm

Will the course be open for play the weekend before the tournament? Or is may 31 the only time?

John Minicuci   April 28, 2017 at 11:52am

The course install is scheduled to begin Tuesday afternoon, May 30 and finalized Wed, May 31. Some work will also need to take place Thursday. The course is open to play Thursday all day only to players in the event.

Mark Stephens   April 28, 2017 at 11:57am

You are of course able to throw the course without the baskets

Justin Phillips   April 28, 2017 at 12:02pm

Awesome! Thanks for the quick response.

Ken Sailler    April 27, 2017 at 2:59pm

John Minicuci   April 27, 2017 at 11:22am

Me too! Soon. Now that the team is back from Bowling Green, they are fast at work trying to finalize the content. Hopefully soon!

Robert "Rec Rob" Hastings    April 24, 2017 at 5:34pm

Any new details we should know of? As we get closer to it I just want to make sure I have everything I need before I leave Florida lol!

Thanks!

John Minicuci   April 25, 2017 at 2:39pm

Leave enough room for the return trip in case you will be toting back with you the USADGC Champion trophy!

John Minicuci    March 30, 2017 at 4:27am

Congratulations to everyone who qualified including those who have already registered to fill the event.
Thank you all for signing up, this is the fastest this event has ever filled that I know of.

For those who have qualified and have already contacted me about a waitlist, yes, we have set the waitlist to 30.

Happy to see this full. Good luck everyone see you out there!

John Minicuci   March 30, 2017 at 12:29am

Agreed Kevin. The crew here is working hard to make sure you all have a great event!

John Minicuci    March 20, 2017 at 4:57pm

REGISTRATION PROCESS ANNOUNCEMENT: FYI, the target turnaround time for players to be emailed their invites following a weekend's event would be Tuesday evening. There are many variables in determining this target time like the TD of the qualifying event posting the results on the PDGA website and the PDGA turn around time of the newly qualified players list I send them verifying the players' eligibility, as a couple of examples. If you think you have qualified and have not been sent an invite by Wednesday following the qualifying event, please contact me.
