What time are you estimating second round starts? Shotgun second round or tee times?

Permalink
MIke Walsh   October 24, 2021 at 12:03am

tee time, I see you at 952 so estimated 2nd rd is 4 hours from that or earlier if possible. so 152 ull play with same group both rds.

MIke Walsh    October 23, 2021 at 11:16pm

Is the tee time in the score card accurate, or is there a different place to confirm start time?

scroll to far right , pdga will show.

Aaron Priebe    October 21, 2021 at 5:33pm

This is my first tournament, and I'm in the novice group. Any pointers? I've generally read through the rule book already, but it's a lot to remember.

Tom Sawyer   October 21, 2021 at 11:44pm

Just let your card know its your first one and they will probably be pretty cool about it. Don't forget your mini and practice regular courtesy. Most importantly remember to have fun with it.

MIke Walsh   October 22, 2021 at 2:18pm

extra shoes , sox, rain jacket , umbrella. HAVE FUN is first !! the other players in your 808 tee off time have played events this year. Sam K has played a couple of Brian and my events

Sam Keopraseuth   October 22, 2021 at 3:51pm

Towel. Don’t forget a towel or two or three since it’s gonna rain all day. If you have questions feel free to ask me during our round. Falling putt rule and foot faults are the most common rules to remember and are helpful for your first tournament.

MIke Walsh    October 21, 2021 at 2:31pm

I have a Nov 21 date reserved for 50 Acre. Weather is always a factor; we run so many events the odds are , some weather. Note to players >> bring extra clothes. minimize your bag, less is more. bring umbrella, 2 extra pairs of shoes etc.

Does this mean the tournament is on November 21, and not October 24? Sorry, totally new to all this if my question is stupid.

MIke Walsh   October 22, 2021 at 2:51am

Just in case we cxl event , back up date would be nov 21. Weather

MIke Walsh   October 22, 2021 at 2:55am

Weather is being closely monitored

Kevin Coleman    October 21, 2021 at 1:38pm

Hello, I noticed for Ma4 you have 21/20 players. Any chance you would allow 21/20 for Ma3? Thanks!

MIke Walsh   October 21, 2021 at 2:35pm

the ma4 with the jrs is uncle of one of players. we need an adult with jrs . thus the 21 players. there will be some drops for sure ,as soon as I get a drop request , I refund then will text the player who moved up.

Kevin Coleman   October 21, 2021 at 4:19pm

Thanks!

Andrew Raboine    October 21, 2021 at 2:34am

Andrew Raboine   October 23, 2021 at 11:18pm

Just making sure. Can't find out how you play in tough conditions if you dont play. See you tomorrow!

MIke Walsh   October 23, 2021 at 11:50pm

odds are when you run 6-8 events in a year , the weather will catch up to you. lol

Brian Usher    October 20, 2021 at 11:06pm

Hey Mike - Will you allow a 5 top for MA50? If so I’ll sign up post haste.

MIke Walsh   October 21, 2021 at 2:21pm

Colin Cunningham    October 18, 2021 at 4:58pm

not sure if this will reach anyone but is anyone in the near north area that is able to drive me? i can compensate, i just don’t want to take red line all the way to 95th and a bus from there.

Thanks so much. I did my first tournament and I would get absolutely destroyed in that division.

MIke Walsh   October 14, 2021 at 5:10pm
