If a 70+ category would be considered and possibly included I would think about registering.

I have been informed my emails this week did not reach some players. I will send more info when I get home to my computer.

The code for check in on pdga.com/score and the PDGA scorecard app is BIGBEAR

Maybe I missed this in the email (or on here), but what time is player check-in and players meeting (if there is one)? Thanks

There won't be a caddy book, but there was an email sent this morning

I was informed by another entrant that the A pool is the Pro Divisions and the B pool is Amateur Divisions, which seems to be in line with the comment in "About this tournament" where it states "This event will be a PDGA True Amateur event for the B Pool."

Accurate

Jonathan Guenther    May 28, 2023 at 6:51pm

Which divisions are included in each pool?

Permalink
Matthew Riordan   May 29, 2023 at 6:49am

Pro Divisions are A Pool, Ams are B Pool

Hey there. Last year there were shorter/ more fair tees for some divisions. Including the ladies divisions. My wife is in this tournament - and we are curious if she will be playing from those shorter tees or not? TIA

The goal is to have all players play from the turf as much as possible. Juniors and FA2 will likely have shorter tees on hole 7, 16, and 18.

The waitlist capacity has increased due to multiple inquiries by players, but it should be noted that the $10 waitlist fee is non-refundable.

Hey Matt, wasn’t able to sign my wife up for FA3 so entered her into FA2 for now. If FA3 opens up can we move her down?

HI CJ, thanks for registering your partner. There probablky won't be AM3 Divisions for this event, but I'll let you kmow if anything changes

CJ Sutton   March 17, 2023 at 2:32pm

Thanks Matt!

Matthew Riordan    March 16, 2023 at 4:51pm

Hi Everybody,

If you try to register using a code that isn't intended for you ie: not a division winner from last year's Big Bear Classic, you will be refunded and u lose your PayPal fee.

You don't need any more hole sponsors? It says zero available and prevents registration. If so, I will try registering my son later tonight. Can't do it now. I see it opens up after 6pm.

Matthew Riordan   March 16, 2023 at 3:05am

HI Eric, the 36 sponsor spots went quickly when they opened on Monday. There will be early registration for Juniors on Thursday, and we wil need 4 Juniors to run the Division, otherwise your son will be moved to a full division.

Jordan Oudenaarden    March 14, 2023 at 5:58pm

Is there a chance to add some slots to MA2?

Permalink
Matthew Riordan   March 16, 2023 at 3:07am

There will be a waitlist available on Friday and possibly some more spots in that division, depending on other divisions that may need to be collapsed.

Matthew Riordan   March 16, 2023 at 3:22am

Waitlist vailable Saturday!

Matthew Riordan    March 14, 2023 at 12:39am

The bug is fixed and registration is open

Hello there Fella's, sorry to bother you. Seems to be an issue signing up as a hole sponser. It wont let us register for some reason...

James McKinlay    March 13, 2023 at 12:18am

Is there early registration for locals this year?

Brandon Redekop    March 11, 2023 at 3:33pm

Hello! Will this be PDGA sanctioned?

Matthew Riordan   March 12, 2023 at 5:35pm

Yes, it will be B tier for pros, C Tier for Ams

Levi Adams    March 1, 2023 at 11:01pm
