Tee times for the event will be posted by midnight this evening and will be posted to the PDGA page: https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/30418

Pin positions are set up for practice. Please refer to the main page or the info board by tee 1 for the list. The Chainstars are in the Friday layout, and the pins that will be moved for the weekend rounds currently have Mach III baskets installed (these have the orange number plate, and will be removed before tee off on Friday.)

Patrick Graziani    August 24, 2017 at 7:07pm

Hole 5 is now only going to use 1 pin. There is a ground bee nest on the left circle edge of the left pin. They have been marked and sprayed, but I don't think they will die. There is now only one pin on the hole for the weekend.
Feel free to contact Patrick Graziani with any questions or concerns. My number is (724)799-3805.

I'm considering on making me way up to spectate the tournament. Is there an entry fee for spectators?

Luke Shelton    August 24, 2017 at 2:10am

The tee times posted on PDGA.com look a little off. It shows everyone in MPO teeing off between 12:09pm and 12:13pm. Are all players starting on hole 1, with the first card teeing off at a certain time? Thanks!

Adam Kubiak    August 23, 2017 at 1:41pm

Are tee times going to be posted before Friday? Looking to come spectate and want to make sure I dont miss the action.

Josh Charlton    August 21, 2017 at 9:22am

do I count correctly? 4 Pittsburgh players? good luck to Mack, Matt, Dave, and J Gary...

Micah Beideman    August 16, 2017 at 2:29pm

I'd like to come watch this tournament. Having never come to watch a tournament before, is there anything I should know going into it? Should I arrive at 8:00? Is there anything I should know about parking? Anything I should bring?

Thanks

I know this is a Pro-only event, but now that the caps are lifted can I register under MPS even though I play AM?

Shawn Babella    July 12, 2017 at 3:12pm

will there be a clinic at this event?

Shaun Hoversten    July 7, 2017 at 12:28pm

Two questions, first one is in general, second one is for me:

1) If the whole tournament is at Moraine, how are you getting 144 players? And why are your other phenomenal courses being left out?

2) Do you need volunteers for spotting and OB work?

Patrick Graziani    June 1, 2017 at 2:17pm

Registration is now open for all professional divisions. All division caps have been removed(may be edited if necessary). Divisions must have at least 3 players to be eligible for added cash.

I wish the PDGA and these national tours would set out a realistic tier registration. It's still pushing fpo and other fields out. How can anyone sign up when ultimately high rates mpo could fill up the fields? Most fpo will not meet the required tier and it will still be a mad rush for first come first serve. You may as well have it like vibram and invitees and qualifiers for national tour. At least this way I won't have to wait until the last minute attempting to make plans. Sheesh ... more

Sheesh #overgrowingthesportwithoutmoreoptions. Ams based on points pros based on ratings. Just doesn't equal up. Figure out a better system. Give the girls a chance to get in. Rant over. I enjoyed playing last year and this year being an Nt and not being able to sign up sucks.

Any tiered registration for masters?
