Jason Parish Oct 24, 2020 Got no email...checked my spam too...

Mikey Beal Oct 24, 2020 Interesting. I'm sure I required an email at signups, so it's supposed to be there. No matter.

Mikey Beal Oct 24, 2020 Yes live scoring is activated. The Passcode will be posted at TourneyHQ this morning, or you can hunt me down and ask. That's fine too.

alex seamon When will starting holes be sent out? Oct 23, 2020

Richard french Anyone playing the course today Oct 23, 2020

Kyle Klein II My fiancé who is playing in FA4, is wondering if they are still playing the rec course twice like it originally said, or if she will now be playing the temp tees on the championship course. Oct 23, 2020

Mikey Beal Oct 23, 2020 originally planned to have them play Rec twice****

Kyle Klein II Oct 23, 2020 Now are they playing the concrete red tee layout i found on disc golf course review, or are they playing a shorter version. Sorry for so many questions. She likes to be prepared lol. Thanks!!

Mikey Beal Oct 24, 2020

Oh no, sorry Kyle I must have missed this. FA4 will be playing the concrete White tees on our Rec si ... show more ›

anthony devoto Oct 23, 2020 Can you tell me why you will make room for a pro but not an am in the same pool?

Joseph Garland Oct 23, 2020

My guess would be because there are already 74 in that pool, which is over 4 per tee. Generally spea ... show more ›

anthony devoto Oct 23, 2020 Please move me to open if this is my only chance to play

Greg Williams Unfortunately, I need to withdraw. Had a last minute issue come up and won’t be able to make it. Sorry for the last minute cancellation. Shoot ‘em up, everyone! Oct 23, 2020

Mikey Beal Oct 23, 2020 Hey GJ! I'm sad to hear this, I'll take care of it! Hope to see you at the next one!

Greg Williams Oct 23, 2020 Thank you

Lance Fraley Are restaurants close enough to go to for lunch or would it be a good idea to bring it? Oct 23, 2020

Mikey Beal Oct 23, 2020 There are several restaurants in the downtown area and I am partnered with Rail Coffee Room, players will receive a free fountain drink with their lunch!

Anthony W Martinez Mikey Beal I sent you a message Oct 22, 2020

Jared Ippolito Any plans on putting a flag to extend some tee pads right or left? Most of the champ tees were really slick today. It may be safer to tee from the grass if the tees are wet and slick on Saturday. Just a thought. Oct 22, 2020

Mikey Beal Oct 23, 2020 Absolutely. I’ll be running through champ side tomorrow to put on the finishing touches.

Jared Ippolito Oct 23, 2020 Perfect! Greatly appreciated!!

Mikey Beal Oct 23, 2020 Jared, Tee Pads have been cleaned and brushed and should be to the liking of the MPO field as of this morning

Randy Osborn Thanks Mike but I'll skip it. I'm 67 and don't want to pay $50 to compete with guys half my age. Oct 20, 2020

Mikey Beal Oct 20, 2020 Completely understandable. Hopefully next year I’ll be able to turn out better numbers in your division. Each year this event will get more and more competitive!

[member not found] Oct 25, 2020 Looks like you had a great event. Looking forward to playing the 666 next week. Thanks for all your hard work!

Mikey Beal Oct 26, 2020 Thanks for the acknowledgment Randy! Unfortunately I won’t be present at 666, although par tod me wants to be. I’m ready to rest and recharge the batteries after yesterday

Jeff Thompson I saw there were some posts on the Facebook page and here on DGS about MPO playing Champ/Champ and another about Champ/Rec. Can you please let me know which is right? Sorry if this has been clarified already and I missed it. Oct 19, 2020

show 2 earlier comments

Mikey Beal Oct 19, 2020 MPO is playing Champ tees from the Concrete in Round 1, and Rec tees from the Concrete in round 2.

Jeff Thompson Oct 19, 2020 Mikey, that makes total sense now. We thought it was two different courses. Really appreciate you getting on the right page.

Mikey Beal Oct 20, 2020

Technically, they are two different courses. They just happen to be right across the road from one a ... show more ›

Randy Osborn I'm thinking of playing MP50 but there's only 1 entry now. What are your plans for that division? Oct 18, 2020

show 3 earlier comments

Mikey Beal Oct 20, 2020 Robert, you can move to MPO if you so choose, I'd still have to payout regardless for pro purses. If you're looking to really make some money on the event, I'd recommend you jump into the MPO field.

Robert Hall Oct 21, 2020 Mikey, put me in MPO and guess playing against all those younger players would challenge me lol

Mikey Beal Oct 22, 2020 You got it buddy, the course will challenge the younger players for sure. The champ side is definitely close with Northwood, albeit a little easier.

Lance Fraley What teapads will we be playing from? Do all the division play from the same ones? Oct 2, 2020

Mikey Beal Oct 2, 2020 Yes. Unfortunately I haven’t been given the money from the foundation yet to get the new long pads installed on both courses.

Jason Parish Oct 3, 2020 So short pads on both courses?

Mikey Beal Oct 5, 2020 They're our white tee pads. Medium distance. On Champ, I have had all baskets moved to long placement, save for hole 7, which is up on the hill in "A".

Jesse Fraley Is there a minimum of players for a division? Oct 1, 2020

Mikey Beal Oct 1, 2020 I’m preferring paying to divisions that have 10+ players, but I haven’t set anything in stone just yet.

Bruce Macey Do you know if pin placements will be at A pins or B bins for tournament? Also will each course be at the same placement?(both courses on A placement, or both on B placement) or will there be a mixture? Sep 30, 2020

Mikey Beal Oct 5, 2020

Hi Bruce! Sorry it took me a while to see this and catch you up! On champ side, I have all placement ... show more ›

Kevin Kelly Is parking lot big enough to accomadate event? Sep 30, 2020

Mikey Beal Sep 30, 2020 This is a difficult question to answer, honestly. It may be a trek to tourney HQ, but I'm certain I can accommodate. I'm working out the details.

Lance Fraley Is there a limit to the number of registrants for the tournament? Sep 29, 2020

Mikey Beal Sep 29, 2020

Currently there is, strictly for time purposes. We are not limited by our local government. I curren ... show more ›

Lance Fraley Will MA4 and MJ18 groups play on both courses? Sep 16, 2020

Mikey Beal Sep 17, 2020 Yes. As of right now each group plays both courses, but I’m considering MA4 and Junior classes playing the Rec course twice.

Taylor Thomas If I play open will I be allowed to take voucher if I cash? Sep 15, 2020

Mikey Beal Sep 15, 2020 I'm going to look up the ruling on this. Let me touch base with you ASAP

Ramon Espique Sep 15, 2020 You should be able to accept vouchers, since it's a C tier. Only majors and A tiers require a trophy (if available) to be presented otherwise. 1.10 Distribution of Prizes.

Mikey Beal Sep 16, 2020 Absolutely. Confirmed this by checking 1.10 myself

Jason Parish Is this one or two rounds? What course will MA40 Play? Sep 9, 2020

Mikey Beal Sep 9, 2020

Two rounds. Early shotgun start. MA40 will likely begin on our Champion Course, then do round 2 on o ... show more ›

Jason Parish Sep 9, 2020 thanks for the info. sounds great!

Damon Morstatter Can't find details anywhere. Sep 9, 2020

Mikey Beal Sep 9, 2020 Sorry Damon, it's very new yet, so I'm still working things up for it. eFlyer should be up by the weekend! Still gathering details on player's packs but there will be one!

Damon Morstatter Sep 9, 2020 Just wasn't sure if it was gonna be a 1 rd thing since it'll be dark quicker by then

Mikey Beal Sep 9, 2020

PDGA prefers 2 rounds, and shotgun start is early. I'm going to weigh my options for multi-day but I ... show more ›
