Scores are posted!
Well, we had a 3 way playoff for the AM2 title. We also had a 2 way tie for the AM4 title. Dalton Puckhaber aced the Long 2 and Joe Levell Aced the short 12. Ryan Herzog added yet another course record and Big Mug to his collection with a sizzling 2nd round 55. We added over $400 to the Capuchin Soup Kitchen 2016 total thanks to everyone for the raffle and 50 / 50. And finally, Jeff Holinger wins the debut of the Dino Ciccarelli disc and adds yet another celebrity disc to hi ... more

I think there is something wrong with the way it was sent to the PDGA or in how the PDGA is reading it. If you look at the AM 2 scores the ratings are exactly the same for the second round as AM 1 and open. However they played the SHORT tees. The ratings should be different. That would bump them all up if that correction was made

Stephen, Chris fixed them. Check again

Stephen Moore   May 24, 2016 at 11:10am

Awesome curious as to want that -17 is now!

NO MORE DIVISION CHANGES! The board is set aside from players that may get in off the wait list, if you do get in from the wait list we can't guarantee you will play with your division. If you do not get in off the wait list your money will be refunded to you once the tournament is completed.

***TOURNAMENT ANNOUNCEMENT***

This will be a last chance qualifier for the United States Amateur Disc Golf Championships!!! The top 15% of the Advanced division will be awarded a berth. There is no trickle down even if they already have a berth.

Ted Swarthout   May 18, 2016 at 5:16pm

And how so?

Chris Leo   May 19, 2016 at 7:52am

Thank you

Rob Dahmen    May 24, 2016 at 5:10pm

Maybe it's just me, but it looks like the ratings are as everyone played the same course. -4 from the shorts second round is an 896, just like -4 from the longs. That seems a little unreasonable.

Jay: That was information on the PDGA page: http://www.pdga.com/tour/event/28257

Rob Dahmen   May 24, 2016 at 10:56am

Chris: Thanks! Much better! That now makes Herzog's round 1054 which seems a little more reasonable.

Brandon Redmond   May 24, 2016 at 3:50pm

I was totally thinking the same thing last night..but I forgot to message. Glad I wasn't the only one thinking it was weird. Thanks Leo

he was super bummed about not being able to play the tourney, I think his hours got switched so he had to work later on in the day until 2 or 3 am. Knowing ty prob just trying to get some golf in before it. Not like him to miss a tourney for no reason. But anyway I'm still missing am 11x champ ... more

John Minicuci   May 23, 2016 at 12:44pm

I know TY was bummed he could't play the Classic. Then he loses a disc too. Thought a funny might have at least made him smile a minute. No 11x, sorry. And yes, OA is amazing both the course and the people. We are truly blessed to have them.

John Minicuci   May 23, 2016 at 12:44pm

Thanks Daemon, I couldn't resist.

David Halloran    May 22, 2016 at 4:14am

What time is tee off?

Permalink
Jay B   May 21, 2016 at 8:36pm

Usually around 945-ish

John Minicuci   May 21, 2016 at 10:57pm

I will be taking people off of the waitlist at 9:01 am. If registered players are not there by 9:00 am and have not contacted me, they will be replaced. We will then have to redo the board and I am hoping to have the players meeting at 9:10 if everyone shows up. The goal is to get people tee'd of by 9:30 am. The only reason we may be delayed would be no-shows who will make us redo the board.

Tyler $ Alfano    May 20, 2016 at 9:12pm

Is it too late for a refund? Not going to be be able to make it.

Exactly, thank you Brent. We will be bringing out many many baskets so all of that needs to be set up on Sunday. We will not leave baskets out overnight at Firefighters Park. However I plan on being there Saturday morning marking up the course and making sure the distances are right so the scorecards and maps are accurate.

Skyler Stoker   May 19, 2016 at 7:14pm

Alright good deal thank you guys

John Minicuci   May 21, 2016 at 8:27am

There is a course layout map in the Pictures section, FYI, in case you did not see it.

David Halloran    May 18, 2016 at 7:23pm

Just wondering about player packs and which disc brands will be available for payouts. Thanks

John Minicuci   May 18, 2016 at 1:26pm

Innova players packages. Payouts will feature Innova, Discraft, and limited Gateway.

kyle colden   May 18, 2016 at 10:43pm

John Minicuci    May 17, 2016 at 8:51pm
