Mark Stephens Jun 7, 2021 I would suggest that perhaps if you are the Grand Prize winner and your "caddy" does not appear to actually be your caddy, you will not be the Grand Prize winner come Sunday...
Kevin Fodrey Jun 7, 2021 We can partner with other players, not just caddies correct?
John Minicuci Jun 7, 2021 Yes

John Minicuci Jun 13, 2021 Thank you Ben, great reminder!
Matt Bates Missed player check in. Will I still be able to check in at Holdens? Jun 10, 2021
Mark Stephens Jun 10, 2021 You can get your photo. Player package tomorrow.
brad chartier When do you want the Saturday spotters to show up?? Jun 9, 2021

brad chartier Jun 10, 2021 Huh, must have missed the online sign up. I can be there at 7:10 thanks
Scott Markquart Can caddies bring a dog on a leash? We have a husky that is well-behaved on a leash, has no interest in chasing discs, and never makes a sound. All I found was that animals are not allowed to be used as a carrying device. Jun 9, 2021
Mark Stephens Jun 9, 2021 PDGA Rule 3.01.D is where you need to look. Dogs will not be allowed.
Anthony Wasyl I just got a ma1 victory at summer solstice 2021 on 6/06/2021 is my berth delayed until next year? Jun 8, 2021

brad chartier Jun 9, 2021 then how is that a qualifier for this years Am Nats??
Mark Stephens Jun 9, 2021 It wasn’t. That is my point. He don’t need to call anyone or anything. It will just carry over.
Anthony Wasyl Jun 9, 2021 Okay I just wanted to make sure it's going to carry over :) thanks guys
Owen McCall Will the course be closed for practice rounds during the Beat the Beast? Jun 8, 2021
Mark Stephens Jun 8, 2021 No. Both can easily be going on at the same time as the course is closed for only the players.
Kris Woody Is there traditionally last minute dropouts? Currently sitting #3 on the waitlist wondering if I still have a chance of playing the tournament. Also when is the cutoff for waitlist players to get in? Thank you Jun 7, 2021

Jeff Hollinger Jun 9, 2021 Kris you’re in I just withdrew
Jeff Hollinger Jun 9, 2021 good luck sir!
Kris Woody Jun 9, 2021 Thank you for the heads up that moves me to#1 now sorry you can’t make it. Hope all is well
Brad Brinker will the layout for the event be longs only? or a mix of longs and shorts like the past am events? Jun 7, 2021
John Minicuci Jun 7, 2021 The 2021 USADGC layout will be as follows: All long tee pads except hole 17.
Benjamin McMullen Is there a Udisc layout to look at? Is it the 2021 MPO layout but short tee on 17? Jun 7, 2021
Mark Stephens Jun 7, 2021 We do not utilize UDisc so there is nothing official on that platform.
Josh Taylor If we cannot make it to the meeting/dinner Thursday night, can we check in and get player’s package at the course on Friday?

Thank You Jun 7, 2021

Josh Taylor Jun 7, 2021 Understood, thank you.
Jeff Hollinger Jun 7, 2021 Mark I won’t be able to make it on Thursday, is there any way I can send you guys a picture or something so I can get my pic on the buzzz??
Mark Stephens Jun 7, 2021 We are not offering that as an option. You must check in on Thursday or come to the meeting.
Ben Picard Will players on the waitlist be allowed practice along with the rest of the field? Will caddies/spectators need to pay an extra fee besides the $10 daily? Thanks! Jun 6, 2021
John Minicuci Jun 7, 2021 Yes. Waitlist players and their caddies can play. There are no other fees to enter and watch.
Zach Sholty Will there be any type of in person players meeting? If not will there be a place for check in? Don't see any info in the description or I missed it somehow haha. Thanks! Jun 5, 2021

Zach Sholty Jun 8, 2021 What about hole assignments? Will those be posted Thursday? And will it be a hole assignment or a tee time? Forgive the noob questions but this is my first major haha
Mark Stephens Jun 8, 2021 It is tee times. They will be posted Thursday.
Zach Sholty Jun 8, 2021 Ok, thanks Mark!

Gary Vigil Jun 7, 2021 Any OB on 18?
John Minicuci Jun 7, 2021 Yes, I am unsure if an additional rope is being installed where there are ropes but the left will also be OB.
Gary Vigil Jun 8, 2021 Sounds good, thanks!
matthew robinson Is it possible to put in a casual round this weekend? Jun 3, 2021
John Minicuci Jun 3, 2021 The course is open to everyone through Sunday night. Monday morning the course is only available for tournament players.
Benjamin McMullen How dumb would it be to show up if i were #1 or #2 on the waitlist? Jun 3, 2021
Mark Stephens Jun 3, 2021 Coming from Minnesota not a good idea. This event is tee times so the field will be set on Thursday. There is no getting in the morning of due to the nature of the event.
Grant Freudenstein With the event roughly 2 weeks out and the course opening Saturday, any word on if we will be playing long or short pads? May 27, 2021
John Minicuci May 27, 2021

Andrew Savage I think this question was asked earlier this year, but will caddies be allowed at the event? I know this correlates with Michigan's Covid regulations.

Thanks! May 27, 2021

Andrew Savage May 27, 2021 Thank you for the response Mark. So I am assuming that means Caddies will be allowed then correct?
John Minicuci May 27, 2021 Caddies will be allowed, yes.
Andrew Savage May 27, 2021 Sounds good! Thanks!

John Minicuci Apr 22, 2021 I see 2 email accounts with your name. let me try the other one.
John Minicuci Apr 22, 2021 Inbox message sent.
Robert Anderson I received a 2020 invite, but not a 2021. Is my invite from last year still valid since the event was cancelled? Sorry if this has been discussed already, but I couldn't find any definitive answers in these comments or other tourney info. Thanks in advance Apr 19, 2021
Mark Stephens Apr 19, 2021 It is not good for 2021. Yes, it is below and it was on the 2020 event as well.

John Minicuci Apr 20, 2021 For the past few years we have averaged 35 refunds. As I type this so far we have given 5 refunds and there are 6 on the wait list.
Mark Stephens Apr 20, 2021 I would not be surpised by the end we are in the 40-50 refunds area. As John, it is 0% chance if you at least do not register.
Andrew Sitzmann Apr 22, 2021 wont let me register ....
John Minicuci We will send out the 940+ ratings invites as soon as possible. Please be patient. We will post up here any progress. Apr 14, 2021
Thomas McCoy Apr 14, 2021 Hey John, aren't all players with 930+ rating being invited as of the April update? That is the information that is on the 2021 qualifying PDF on the USADGC website.
John Minicuci Apr 14, 2021 I wish we could edit posts on the Scene, lol. Yes, it is 930+.
John Minicuci Apr 14, 2021 It is also on Picture 1 in the Pictures tab above.
Ben Picard Are the next invites being sent out today? Apr 13, 2021
John Minicuci Apr 13, 2021 As soon as the PDGA sends them to me and I can email them.
Nick MacLeod Quick question — on the sidebar it says that there is a $10 fee to enter the park each day. Is that fee applicable during the days of the tournament or only for practice round days (ie. before the tournament?) Apr 13, 2021
show 1 earlier comment
Spencer Gee Apr 14, 2021 I want to say the annual pass was like $30 or something in 2019, it was more cost effective to do that as opposed to paying the daily rate (assuming you will play at least one practice round)
Kris Woody Apr 14, 2021 The annual park pass is $40 now
Jesse Diller Apr 14, 2021 well shoot!
