Luke Downs Good morning Gordon,
If possible for day one for MA2 could you have Luke Downs, Luke Howard, and Louis Verna on the same card.
I’ve been reading that you have hundreds of requests so I have no expectation that you have this flexibility. Thanks so much! Oct 20, 2023
Gordon Merck Oct 20, 2023 Based on PDGA rules, I cannot make card requests of that nature. I apologize!!

John Bernard Oct 18, 2023 Thank you sir, appreciate it!
Gordon Merck Oct 18, 2023 I will do what I am allowed within the rules of the PDGA.
Xander Arbaugh How and when will you let me know if it is possible for me to get a later tee time before of school? Oct 17, 2023
Sam Withrow Oct 17, 2023 Does the TD know what division you are playing? I don't see your name on the registration list. I'm assuming that would be a determining factor.
Gordon Merck Oct 18, 2023
Xander, I responded to your comment down below. I will do my best to accommodate later tee times, bu ... show more ›

Greg Slominski Any chance Goliath will be made available to play beforehand? Even if there is a fee, it would be nice to see the course ahead of the tournament. Sep 29, 2023
Matt Hendrick Sep 29, 2023 I did a practice round up there by just emailing them. I plan to do it again in a few weeks as well. When I went a few weeks ago they didn't have all the short tees up, but were working on them.
Ethan Burgin Sep 29, 2023 Yeah, you can play Goliath at any time. You just have to email [email redacted] to set up a time.

Gordon Merck Sep 25, 2023 not a problem at all!!
Mark Barber So just one course - New London? Someone asked about Ivy Hill, so just making sure. Sep 12, 2023
Josh Alcock Sep 13, 2023 Courses vary by division. Looks like everything is listed out on the schedule in the about page
Gordon Merck Sep 15, 2023 Yes, It will depend on which division you are playing. If you are playing MPO then New London will be Friday and Sunday. Ivy Hill will be played Saturday.
Walter Bachelder Can someone give me better details of the courses location in VA? Location towns etc? My gps is stupid. Coming down from Maine Sep 12, 2023
Isaac Frazier Sep 12, 2023 New London Tech DGC - Forest, VA
https://app.udisc.com/applink/course/24775
Isaac Frazier Sep 12, 2023 It’s in between Bedford and Lynchburg. Lynchburg is home of Liberty University. Great places to stay, eat, and explore. Bedford has plenty of “farmland” but still a good busy place.
Asher Beaudin I’ve never played Battle for Bedford before. Is there just one round per day? If so, does it usually end close to midday? Aug 26, 2023
Matthew Bolden Aug 26, 2023 One round per day, with tee times, so your start and end times are variable. I always plan on 4 hours for a round, though most will come in at 2.5 to 3.
Gordon Merck Aug 28, 2023 Sorry for the late delay in response, but yes. Matthew is correct, it will be one round per day and will be tee times each day!!
