Right with ya Shea. I am running my event the same this weekend,..

Zac Sherman   July 31, 2020 at 4:30pm

So if someone else drops is their spot going to be filled? I was first on the waitlist... thought I had a good shot of getting in today.

Shea Abbgy   July 31, 2020 at 9:20pm

If someone drops that spot will not be filled. The player field is final.

So I just watched the hold previews for group B and I just wanted to get some clarification on the brewer layout AM3 will be playing. Based on the video holes: 6,8,9,13,14,16, and 18 will be played from short positions?

If I waitlisted today for FA3 what do you think the chances would be that I’d get to play?

I won’t be able to make this tournament due to my honeymoon. Could you take me off and free up a spot for someone else who can play?

What are the odds looking like for me on the waitlist for MA3?

Shea Abbgy   July 22, 2020 at 1:15pm

I'd put it at 99% you get in from first on the Pool B waitlist.

Christopher Blodgett    July 21, 2020 at 11:43pm

How many are on waitlist for am3?

There is only a hole flyover for two courses, are we playing a third?

Steele Boonstra   July 21, 2020 at 12:45pm

No

Shea Abbgy   July 21, 2020 at 1:59pm

Timothy, you are registered for MA2 which is in Pool A. Pool A will be playing two rounds at Riverside on Saturday 8/1 and one round at Brewer 8/2. The Pool A flyover shows the layouts Pool A will be playing at Riverside and Brewer. As I say in the intro of the flyover all tee pad locations and stated OB's are subject to change.

Brendan Schuppe    July 18, 2020 at 2:36pm

Is there a rough guess for when the courses will be set up for the tournament?

Shea Abbgy   July 18, 2020 at 5:02pm

7/29

Shea Abbgy    July 17, 2020 at 8:37pm

Hole previews for Pool A and Pool B are up.

Sweet Reviews!!

Nick Bosovich   July 20, 2020 at 12:19pm

Just a comment... pretty much evey wood line is marked OB so we are not utilizing any "natural OB" or the rough
