Cliff Brison Sticky I'm finding about 7 or 8 clipboards may have not gotten turned in. We need those with the player scorecards for tomorrow. Please check your bags for us. Sep 24, 2023
Cliff Brison Sticky Flagged on Mosquito road for bridge construction are delaying people. Not sure how long. Take Rock Creek if cutting it close. Drive safe.

Cliff Brison Sticky Everyone will need to check in; we have scwag for the Pro players; also, for those who checked in early, there's one more item to grab, a Gold Pan poker chip that we did not have out. Sep 23, 2023

Michael Berry Sep 23, 2023 Yay!
Cliff Brison Sticky Purse is set. We had a fair amount of movement yesterday (welcome 8 new players), but I'm on to calcs now for payouts. Unfortunately, no more movement in the fields. Added cash to pro divisions is twelve hundred. Thanks everyone for making that happen. Sep 21, 2023
Cliff Brison Sticky Announcement: Campers will not need to pack up prior to starting the Sunday round. We have a late checkout. If I recall correctly, I think the only place I gave that information was within registration. Let it be known... Sep 20, 2023
Cliff Brison Sticky Announcement: When planning your supplies for Gold Pan, please know that Frank's Diner closed this year. Sep 18, 2023

Cliff Brison Tee times are posted Sep 21, 2023
Alexander Craver Hello when will the tee times be posted for the first day? Sep 21, 2023
Christopher Hall Hey Cliff, are you able to provide a rough estimate of when the MA1 tee times will begin on Saturday? Thank you in advance. Sep 20, 2023
Cliff Brison Sep 21, 2023 Yes. My current draft of tee times has MA1 anywhere between 9:12 and 9:48. I have not published the groups yet, so be aware that this is only a draft.
Jason Baehr Good evening Cliff when you get a chance can you PM me directly or you can call me at 530-277-7074 I have a question for you that only you can answer thank you Sep 20, 2023
Adam Nelson Hey cliff I just saw that registration closed this weekend I was wondering if by chance I could still send the money and play. Sep 18, 2023
Jacob Hughes Hey cliff im trying to pay for my spot but it keeps telling me my registration is incomplete but each time I try it takes the pdga fee, I’d like to get in to MA1 but I may need to wait until Friday to pay because my credit card won’t go thru for some reason Sep 13, 2023
Cliff Brison Sep 13, 2023
Jacob, my best guess is that there may be a sticking point in PDGA membership. This being a B-Tier ... show more ›
Alexander Santos Taylor Hey cliff, quick question. So I just signed up and I have never been there before and I did request a campsite. Am I sharing a campsite or is it first come per site? Thanks for the clarification and sorry if I am making yourself repeat the information Sep 11, 2023
Alexander Santos Taylor Sep 11, 2023 I have a buddy who is also in the tournament and he would be camping with me.

Yes, the $15 camping is general entry, first come, first served. My intent is that we group people ... show more ›

Cliff Brison Aug 26, 2023 Right on. Be aware, as in previous years, campfires are prohibited this time of year. It's all propane. ...Just in case that has an impact on your group's decision.
Mark Reynolds-Delaney Aug 26, 2023 Not at all. Just curious if/how much they need to pay for camping

Camping has been general entry for 15. If you're wanting to reserve a site (6 per site), it's 50 fo ... show more ›
Austin Hoffman What are the payouts in AM divisions? Aug 22, 2023
Cliff Brison Aug 23, 2023 Depends on number of players in each division; all payouts are per PDGA.
Austin Hoffman Aug 26, 2023 Will it be script or what?

Brent McCoy Hey Cliff my buddy is trying to sign up and is not pdga? Is this a PDGA only event? Aug 19, 2023
Cliff Brison Aug 21, 2023 As a B-tier event, yes, PDGA requires membership for B-tier and above since the rules changes that went into effect beginning 2022, or thereabouts.
Brent McCoy Aug 21, 2023 Thanks for clarifying. I was unaware of the change.
Kevin Callahan What are the projected tee times on Saturday for MP50? Trying to figure out logistics since I will be driving back and forth each day. Thank you. Aug 15, 2023
Cliff Brison Aug 16, 2023 I'm not sure yet, and usually get a sense of where everyone lands once I see the fields. My initial sense is that MP50 would likely be among the earlier tee times.
Jim Smyth Gold Pan baby! Can’t wait to see all you beautiful degenerates! ;) Aug 6, 2023
Brent McCoy How do we reserve camping? Through Finnon website or through tournament signup? Aug 1, 2023
Cliff Brison Aug 1, 2023 I have the campground reserved; you'll do that through registration.
