Henry, we opened registration in December and you registered 20 days ago. We are constantly checking in with the city of Scottsdale and Fountain Hills as well as State Health Department regulations just to be able to host an event. We appreciate patience as we work through these tough times.

Jeff Jacquart   February 28, 2021 at 12:51pm

Thanks Spinners, Ashley, and Keith for making the event happen!

Markham Shofner    February 23, 2021 at 3:57am

I've submitted a few requests to withdraw and am hoping you can process them before the weekend. Hope the tournament goes well

What tees will advanced MA1 be playing from? At Shelley there were a few tees we played shorter than open. Will that be the same deal? For example, Hole 1 at Fountain. The furthest back tee pad or the middle 320-350 foot Tee pad?

Hello Reese. Ams will play from the middle tee pad at hole #1 at Fountain

Reese Corwin   February 26, 2021 at 1:39am

Thanks Ashley!

Ashley

Are there any plans to list the tee time BLOCKS for each division before the 1st?
Trying to setup times to see my grandmother in the memory care facility for her 101st birthday on March 5th and wondering if I need a morning or afternoon appointment setup for her.
Thanks in advance for your reply

Hello Keith, We should have tee times right around then. The MP60 typically goes off early since all the Pro's are on the same course this year.

keith johnson   February 23, 2021 at 6:48pm

Awesome

Ryan Heeti    February 22, 2021 at 4:13pm

I noticed at the DGPT All Stars event they allowed caddies. Are you considering allowing caddies for this event for MPO? Thanks

Will Goeringer   February 22, 2021 at 4:21pm

Just tacking onto this, I know that previously you had stated that no caddies or spectators would be allowed but what if a caddy is a part of your travel group?

Ashley Akens   February 22, 2021 at 5:29pm

We are not allowing caddies or spectators this year. We are following PDGA, State and Local Guidelines.

Shaun McGrath    February 21, 2021 at 5:47am

It looks like a slot has opened up in MA60. I’m currently on waiting list for MP60. Can I slide over into that MA60 slot?

Pro playing Am must have a player rating <850

John Belty    February 16, 2021 at 10:06pm

are there any doubles or other events before tournament?

Ashley Akens   February 17, 2021 at 5:38pm

No events due to local Covid guidlines

Shelby Petty    February 16, 2021 at 3:18pm

For fountain hills, will the concrete edge of the water be OB or not? The caddie book makes it look in bounds. Just would like to clarify. Thank you!

obviously if it bounces back into the water it is OB but you would take the OB where it hit the wall, there are a few retaining walls that are not at the shore line so if you hit those you never cleared the water so you would go back to where it was last in bounds

Philip Witzman   February 17, 2021 at 12:49pm

According to last years caddie book of you hit the retaining wall you play with a penalty from where the disc hit the wall. Have not seen an updated 2021 caddie book to know if they changed that rule.

Ashley Akens   February 17, 2021 at 5:43pm

Sorry fo rthe delayed response. Lake completly surround by water is OB at both courses.

Brett Chaffin    February 14, 2021 at 4:02pm

Hi there. I need to be taken off the waitlist. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Scott Reek    February 14, 2021 at 9:44am

I have noticed over the last few weeks, as players have dropped, the overall cap has dropped. You were over 420 players at one point. Are you trying to get to a lower cap?

Joe Mercieri    February 11, 2021 at 11:40pm

Hey I'm still on the waitlist and I can't make travel plans any later than this. Could you send refund please? Thank you

Ashley Akens   February 12, 2021 at 6:56pm

Done

Tongia Vakaafi    February 9, 2021 at 3:49am

Hello Ashley, I was really excited to play Yes my first time at your event unfortunately,I had a job offer as I was waiting and supposed to start next month on the 15th, I guess they really want me to start sooner I am sorry but I have to withdraw is there anyway I can get my money back?

Permalink
Ashley Akens   February 9, 2021 at 8:56pm

I processed your refund. Hope to see you next year.

Garrett Martin    February 2, 2021 at 4:28pm

Will AM players be allowed to spectate the MPO and FPO divisions after our rounds as well as on Sunday?

Ashley Akens   February 2, 2021 at 5:29pm

Hello Garrett, this year we will not be allowing caddies or spectators. Folllow the Memorial FaceBook page for updates.

Garrett Martin   February 2, 2021 at 5:59pm

Great, thank you for the quick response. Makes travel arrangements much easier

Philip Witzman    January 27, 2021 at 12:27am

If we are coming in from out of state do we need to provide proof of a negative Covid test to play?

Permalink
Ashley Akens   February 2, 2021 at 7:12pm

Not currently but follow Memorial championships on FaceBook for any updates.

David McIver    January 26, 2021 at 11:28pm

Is there a chance of offering an MA70 division (like the DD/Glassblown Open)? You might be surprised at how many of your 60+ guys enter.

Permalink
Keith Murray   January 27, 2021 at 11:06pm

Hi there, unfortunately the more divisions we offer the more it waters down others so we have to stop somewhere. There was talk of a 65+ for 2021 but that got voted down by the board so we could offer better division sizes. We never say never so it could be a possibility in the future but would guess a slim one. Thanks for reaching out!!

David McIver   January 29, 2021 at 3:11pm

Pssss....your board members will be over 70 one day and get tired of being beaten be those immature 60 year olds.

Myriam Luzadas    January 22, 2021 at 11:01pm

I need to please withdraw from the FA1 WL #3 - I have emailed this request to [email redacted] if you can please respond

Keith Murray   January 26, 2021 at 7:41pm

Hi there, didn't see the email but can rock that out for you.

Pat Gaetz    January 15, 2021 at 11:31pm

Hey there!
I understand that I'm charged to be on the waitlist, but will be refunded if a spot does not become available. My question is: Do I need to manually withdraw before the tournament to get a refund? Or does the refund automatically get processed (aside from the $10) if no spots are available and I remain waitlisted?
Thank You!

thanks Keith!

Pat Gaetz   January 22, 2021 at 12:26am

One last question. I'm thinking of spectating if I can't get in to the am division. Are spectators allowed this year to watch the pros?

Keith Murray   January 26, 2021 at 7:36pm

More than likely there will be no caddies/spectators allowed to follow City/Town guidelines.

Patrick Ford    January 15, 2021 at 5:06am

I need to withdraw and request a refund, I no longer have the email that was previously sent, how do I go about doing this?

Hello there How soon can I find out if I’m in or out

Ashley Akens   January 12, 2021 at 4:55pm

Hello Tongia, as soon as we are able to get you in, you will be notified by email. You are number 10 on the waitlist which means that 10 people from your division would have to drop to get you in.

Tongia Vakaafi   January 13, 2021 at 11:05am

Cool thanks Ashley!
