Yes

For those unaware of the two Black Locusts course which are called two different things, the north course is blue and the south is green.

Best way I remembered it was that B-lue before G-reen, N-orth before S-outh.

Josiah Lonsway   July 21, 2021 at 2:47pm

Lolol nice

Dustin Csokasy    July 20, 2021 at 3:31pm

This is my first tournament I had a question about registering. I am in the player pool do I have to register in person on Thursday

Dustin Csokasy   July 20, 2021 at 3:31pm

And if so what is the latest time you can register

Mark Stephens   July 20, 2021 at 3:54pm

Dustin, I think you mean check in. Here is a link to the schddule and it shows the check in times. https://dglo.net/schedule/

Dustin Csokasy   July 20, 2021 at 7:33pm

Thank you and my comment had rookie written all over it I guess ????

Jonathan Lee    July 20, 2021 at 2:14pm

Is there a specific reason why MA3 is playing Black Locust North from the long tees?

Ma3 does play blue side from longs. Not sure what specific reason you're looking for, though.

Evan Lewis   July 20, 2021 at 2:39pm

Yeah its only that 1 round, its the easier of the 3 courses as well. You will be fine!

Chris Trumbull   July 20, 2021 at 2:48pm

there are only long Tee's on Kenso North for holes 1-3, 6-10, 12 and 18. most do not change much but length.

Timothy Beerbower    July 20, 2021 at 1:06pm

If you are on the wait list should you go on Thursday to check in or just come Friday for tee times?

Nate Heinold   July 20, 2021 at 1:49pm

You will be contacted via email

Michael Fisher #baaa    July 20, 2021 at 12:24am

I seen there is a spot open in am2. I was trying to move from am1 but it won't let me

Nate Heinold   July 20, 2021 at 12:29am

You should be able to edit your registration and change divisions.

Michael Fisher #baaa   July 20, 2021 at 12:51am

Would that put me on the waitlist?

Nate Heinold   July 20, 2021 at 12:59am

Not if we have spots on the list available.

Brian D Badge    July 20, 2021 at 12:03am

I am waitlisted but ordered discs with registration. If I don't get to play do I still get the discs and if so how?

Permalink
Nate Heinold   July 20, 2021 at 12:10am

All of it would be refunded

Brian D Badge   July 26, 2021 at 12:32pm

When do you expect refunds to be processed?

Kenneth Rutowski    July 19, 2021 at 4:54pm

Do we need to bring anything with us when we check in?

Permalink
Nate Heinold   July 19, 2021 at 9:31pm

You do not need to bring anything.

Anthony Wasyl    July 19, 2021 at 4:37pm

Trevor Staples   July 20, 2021 at 1:42pm

I was just messing with you and the first commenter, dude! ;-)

Tara St. Aubin    July 19, 2021 at 2:03pm

Will I need to get spectators passes for kids under 12 too? I will have mine, since my registered to play.

Permalink
Nate Heinold   July 19, 2021 at 9:32pm

Kids 12 and under are free.

Timothy Beerbower    July 19, 2021 at 1:33pm

Nate should I show up at the beginning of tee times or at the end?

Permalink
Nate Heinold   July 19, 2021 at 9:33pm

If you are playing, you need to show up for your tee time.

Nate Heinold   July 19, 2021 at 9:33pm

Tee times will be posted on the PDGA.com results page for the event, probably tomorrow.

Ozzie Thoreson    July 19, 2021 at 12:46pm

Everyone: BRING BUG SPRAY! Crazy out here

The mosquitoes are not too bad at Toboggan.

Jason Riberas   July 19, 2021 at 9:54pm

Maybe at the toboggan they're not bad, but over on both the other two courses they're horrible to deal with.

Ozzie Thoreson   July 20, 2021 at 12:49am

Oh good. I was worried about Eagle, Paul, and Ricky. I can’t tell you how freaking excited I am for this weekend!

Christopher Jacobs    July 19, 2021 at 12:35pm

Id like to waitlist for MA3 please, happy to pay in advance should a spot open up but looks like I missed the reg window. PDGA # is 83930

Permalink
Christopher Jacobs   July 19, 2021 at 1:49pm

Id also play MA2 since theres no waitlist and a spot open in the pool

Christopher Jacobs   July 20, 2021 at 3:14pm

Hey guys, can I be added to the Waitlist for MA3 or MA2? Should I just show up for a chance? Any guidance would be appreciated

Paul DISC-OR-DIE Holstein    July 19, 2021 at 12:00pm

I've read 3.04 of the dress code, and I assume "final round" only applies to tournaments that have special rounds after a cut (I.E. not the last round on Sunday). But just to be safe, I'll ask the question. Is there any point in this tournament (including the games, events, and spectating the Pros) where an Amateur player (during or after their rounds), including a junior and a caddy, would not be able to wear a standard cotton T-shirt?

I read the above in the rules. Are non-collared dry-fits/Cool-Max allowed?

Ozzie Thoreson   July 19, 2021 at 3:44pm

The way I read it, dry fit with no collar (crew neck) are fine. Can you confirm that is correct, Nate?

Nate Heinold   July 19, 2021 at 9:32pm

That is correct. Dri-fits are fine.

Ozzie Thoreson    July 19, 2021 at 11:55am

Question on Monster… some of the holes have more than one basket. Hole1, for example, has one basket at the end of the fairway and then another one past that, up among the trees. I think it was hole 3 that has 2 baskets too? Which basket for the holes that have 2 baskets? Tough to tell on the caddy book

ron simpson   July 19, 2021 at 12:11pm

Hey Ozzie, depends on what division you are playing. For exp I'm in Ma50, in the course schedule on the ledgestone app, they list my division as Long (back tees), to Regular basket (short). For Ma60 they list Short (front tee) to Regular basket (short). If they don't list "regular" basket, I'm assuming you're playing the "long", good luck with that, lol.

Nate Heinold   July 19, 2021 at 1:02pm

We are all using regular baskets, the long baskets will have bags on them.

Ozzie Thoreson   July 19, 2021 at 3:43pm

Super. Thanks, Nate!

Timothy Beerbower    July 19, 2021 at 4:12am

Well if I can get on the wait list for ma3 that would be awesome

Permalink

Timothy Beerbower    July 19, 2021 at 3:02am

So for ma3 I would show up to Black Locust Blue on the 22nd or the 23rd?

There is no need for a waitlist person to check-in on Thursday since we don't even know if they get into the event.

Evan Lewis   July 20, 2021 at 12:37pm

Wouldnt you know Thursday night if waitlisted players got in? Any player thats registered that doesnt check in Thursday loses their spot and then the waitlisted players get moved in and tee times would be adjusted? Or am I just thinking too logically

Nate Heinold   July 20, 2021 at 1:49pm

If you get in to the event from the waitlist, you will receive an email.

Jay B    July 19, 2021 at 2:25am

If one of the pools doesn’t fill will any of player caps within that pool be adjusted to allow waitlisted players in for those divisions with waitlisted players or are the caps written in blood

Permalink
Nate Heinold   July 19, 2021 at 3:15am

Negative

Timothy Beerbower    July 19, 2021 at 1:48am

If there's a no-show the day of can someone join the tournament?

Permalink
Nate Heinold   July 19, 2021 at 1:58am

If you are ready and waiting at hole one and there is no one else on the waitlist, yes.

Joel Szirony   July 19, 2021 at 3:53am

Probably worth signing up for the waitlist now just to save some sort of spot in line.

Donald Huff    July 19, 2021 at 12:52am

How long will the course be available after the tournament?

Permalink
Nate Heinold   July 19, 2021 at 12:55am

It will not be available after the event.
