Steven Matthias When are player packs being sent? Oct 10, 2020

Erik Tribelhorn Oct 10, 2020 Yes, I've been wondering the same thing

Ken Keene Good morning,
Is there any update yet on what's happening with the refunds?
Thank you. Sep 25, 2020

Dear Matt, Friend of the DG Community: We ALL know how hard you worked on this event. We all know that this was NOT your fault. We as a community wish you only the best and thank you for your efforts ... show more ›

Joshua Fritz :( So bummed. Matt, we understand. Don't beat yourself up, it was out of your control. Sounds like the golf course got greedy. Sep 18, 2020

Danny Pring Matt, everybody understands this is way beyond your control, all of your work is greatly appreciated! See you next year! Sep 18, 2020

With deep sadness and regret I have decided to cancel the Shades of Gray MASTERS Sponsored by Dynamic Discs. After months and months of planning, time, money, energy and good old hard work, the venue's new ownership decided to wait until a week away from the tournament to let me know they had a problem with our original agreement from this spring. They choose money over people & fun and after scrambling for replacement courses it quickly became obvious that it would be physically impossible to continue. During the wonderful times we're in, to get a B-Tier tournament put together and submit a complete business plan to the city and county for Covid health regulations approval including time to get government approval and then sent back, not to mention park&rec permits plus figure out course specifics and create a map would just not happen within seven days.

So I completely apologize and feel horrible. I will start working on the 2021 Shades of Gray MASTERS soon as it will help me deal. However all is not lost, at least for you the players. Here is what's going to happen next.

All Pro divisions will receive 100% refund of entry fees through PayPal.
All Amateur divisions will receive 100% of entry fees in both players pack value and the remainder in PayPal refund.
All extra fun events entries will be refunded 100% through PayPal: Long Drive, Putting, Mini Disc Golf.
All disc purchases will remain intact and will be fulfilled. I will ship them out to you in the next week or two.

I'd love to be able to tell you what the amateur players pack value is, but I left frantic messages at Dynamic Discs after finding out the news and haven't heard back yet. So I don't know what they have completed or stopped or what. Nevertheless I will ship your players packs to you. I have to cancel the PDGA Event but will keep the DiscGolfScene registration page open until the cutoff next Wednesday. That way you can modify your registration to buy custom tournament discs that are certainly unique collectors because the event never happened and the artwork embraces what a crazy year it's been. You can even have your friends use the DISC non-participant division to buy custom tournament stamped discs through DG scene.

Again I am very sorry and I hope you keep an eye on peacejames.co or follow our social media. Can't wait to put on some really fun and exciting events again. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Matt James

Kirk Kullby Dear Matt, is Lakota GC a private facility? I'm loading up that weekend, bringing the wife and 19 yr old son. Can my son buy a bucket of balls at the driving range? Can they hang out in the clubhouse while we play? Or will the place be off-limits unless one is there for the tournament? Thanks Sep 15, 2020

Kirk Kullby Matt, I did not receive that update, could send it again to my email [email redacted] ? Sep 9, 2020

Matt James Sep 9, 2020 Just forwarded email to you. I also posted the same info on the website, www.peacejames.co/shadesofgray

Matt James Players Update #1 has been emailed and posted on the website this evening 09-07-20. Sep 8, 2020

Joshua Fritz Matt, will the course be ready to practice on, on Friday? Sep 4, 2020

Matt James Sep 4, 2020 Hey Josh! Not this Friday, but certainly the Friday Sept 25 and hoping to have it set earlier than that too but can't confirm that yet.

Joshua Fritz Sep 4, 2020 Sweet, yeah sorry, I meant the Friday before the event. I'll be driving up from GJ to play some holes and to walk the course to scout it out. Super stoked about this event. Can't wait.

Donna Brown Will this still be played if it does not fill? Aug 7, 2020

Matt James Aug 8, 2020 Hi Donna yes this will be played unless government says we can’t. Finalized the layout yesterday and am sooo excited about it! You guys are going to have so much fun!!! Posting pictures in a bit.

TOM BUSSARD Any chance for MP 65, if I can get a couple more old fellers? Aug 1, 2020

Matt James Aug 8, 2020

Hi Tom! I feel it’s best to leave the pro divisions as I planned them, at least for now. With such ... show more ›

Matt James Aug 8, 2020 But if we get a bunch more registrants where their entries negate that statement then yes I’d be more than happy to add a MP65 division.

Donna Brown Any news on a hotel. That may be the deciding factor for me. Jul 24, 2020

Matt James Jul 24, 2020 Hi Donna! Was wondering why I didn’t see your name come through yet. Unfortunately haven’t heard anything yet. Hope to hear soon. I’ll post as soon as I have confirmation.

Joe Klosky One person per cart? Jul 18, 2020

Matt James Jul 18, 2020

Hey Joe! That would be the ideal social distancing. But that is going to be one of the last decision ... show more ›

Matt James Sep 3, 2020 Joe, I’ll also post this elsewhere but after talking with new owners we’ll be doing two per cart unless you have a problem with that, when we’ll get you your own cart.
