I’ve played every AM event on tour that has been offered thus far. Here is my honest to god opinion of the event. MPO players were literally given strokes on “the open” course on holes like ... show more ›

This tournament was honestly one of the worst that I have been to. I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets replaced next year as a silver series. Plenty of other tournaments here in Texas with way better ... show more ›

Asher Cook Neal, thank you so much for making this a great tournament. I was really excited about how much stuff the amateurs received from the player's pack and the payoff combined. Thanks for all the work you do to make events like this memorable! Mar 21, 2021
Brandon Riley Not sure if this is the best place. I am set to tee off at 10am but my son is sick and I won't make it this morning. Mar 21, 2021
David Jarzynka
They're up. For what it's worth, the opportunity to play and then go watch Pros play amazing golf is invaluable and added immensely to my tournament experience. If the tournaments were on separate wee ... show more ›

Nicholas Fisher Straight up that was an awful showing of a tournament and course for us Ams. If your disc touched the ground you weren’t getting a skip. It died right there. I’m not one to usually speak about course conditions but come on. Our money matters also so show us some love. Mar 21, 2021
travis sall Mar 21, 2021 I never complain also, and most of the people I have met these last few days working have been great people. But that course was a train wreck period
Neal Dambra Mar 21, 2021 We will run AMs on a separate weekend next time so we have more time to get it right.
travis sall Mar 21, 2021 Thank you Neal, that would be awesome!
Jorge Mendoza Lost a Black Discmania Essense, unmarked/no name. Left it on the field next to Hole 1. If anyone knows anything, thanks! Mar 21, 2021

Neal Dambra Mar 21, 2021 Feel free to call me after the event and we will discuss. We can't do anything about it now.
Jeff Norvell Mar 21, 2021 Thanks Neal.
Alex King Left a brand new (price tag still
on it) bright pink/rainbow foil adam hammes wasp at park ave on the practice fields at 10am. 512-704-5736

Neal Dambra Mar 21, 2021 -
Le Anne Bull We lost a quick stick - at crossroads - no name on it - if you find reward please - Le Anne Bull Mar 19, 2021
David Jarzynka In a similar vein, did anyone pickup an unmarked, Orange, Metal Flake Barsby Empire stamped Draco? Mar 19, 2021
David Jarzynka I found a Harp on hole 8 at Crossroads and an Innova Max on hole 1 at Park Ave today neither had any markings. If you lost them today, send a DM or Comment and we can meet up this weekend to get them back to you. Mar 19, 2021

Stephen P Sutton Mar 18, 2021 Thanks I've hoping an injury would not prevent me from player sadly I don't see that happening so I withdrew so someone else can play
Neal Dambra Mar 19, 2021 refunded
Jeff Norvell Basket for 16 at crossroads still in the long. Mar 18, 2021
William Ward Mar 19, 2021 nope.
Neal Dambra Mar 19, 2021 There will be a temp basket in the short position
Jeff Norvell Mar 19, 2021 Thanks Neal!
Keegan Haupt It says in the email we got that we must be a UDisc scorekeeper in order to watch the pros. This is for people without the Badge, right? Mar 18, 2021

Keegan Haupt Mar 18, 2021 I thought the designated watching areas were for those who are not signed up for the tournament.
Neal Dambra Mar 19, 2021 we have designated areas in on the course and outside the course
Keegan Haupt Mar 19, 2021 Ok thanks.
Alex Aguilar Did I get into tournament??? Mar 16, 2021
Asher Cook Since we are still under the COVID precautions, I expect that we will still use the digital formatting. Mar 15, 2021
Neal Dambra Mar 16, 2021 Yes PDGA scoring app as written in the section in the caddie guide PDF call "This would be a good time to read the fine print"
Steve Ganz Has the caddie guide for Crossroads at been updated yet? It’s still showing 27 holes at https://www.theopendgc.com/course/tba-dgc-2021 Mar 15, 2021

Neal Dambra Mar 16, 2021 Yeah tomorrow night -- its late Im tired lol
Steve Ganz Mar 16, 2021 Thanks for all you do, Neal!
Keegan Haupt Will we be using the PDGA Live Scoring for this tournament or are we not going to be keeping score digitally? Mar 15, 2021

Keegan Haupt Mar 16, 2021 It says that AMs will be using the PDGA app. Is there a code to get into the scorecard. By the PDGA app, it is meaning the PDGA.com/score, right?
Steve Ganz Mar 17, 2021 Correct. It says the code will be published at www.theopendgc.com/news at the appropriate time. The starter can also provide you with the code prior to your tee-time.
Keegan Haupt Mar 17, 2021 Thanks!
Ryder Moore I was wondering for the AM side are we allowed to have a caddy on the courses with us during the actual tournament rounds? Restrictions aren’t very clear to me when it comes to that info. Thanks. Mar 15, 2021

MA1 and MA2 are in different pools so we cant make a straight switch . You'd have to go on waitlist ... show more ›
Joeadam Martinez Mar 10, 2021 I’ll stay in MA1 if that’s the case. Not a problem.
Alex King I am really hoping to switch into MA2, currently registered as MA1 but I am by no means an Advanced player but it was the only thing available during registration. Any hope? Mar 9, 2021
Neal Dambra Mar 10, 2021 You are switched to MA2.

Jeremy Mirken Mar 8, 2021 I'm asking about non-player spectators . . . will they be allowed now that Texas has reversed Statewide covid mandates?

Louis Martinez So my rating has gone up and is now too high for Ma2??? What happens now?? Feb 23, 2021

Anthony G Since I got into MPO, I need to withdraw from MA1. How can I do that? Feb 23, 2021

Keegan Haupt Feb 22, 2021 Thanks!
Asher Cook One more question, sorry to bother you Neal, but I was wondering if and when the doubles would start on Friday? Thx Feb 18, 2021
Neal Dambra Feb 18, 2021 Doubles will be at Crossroads and we have not detailed that out yet. We should know in a week or so.
Asher Cook Just wondering, will there be all the major brands discs at this tournament, or is it just Discraft. Feb 16, 2021
Neal Dambra Feb 17, 2021 There will be multiple vendors and multiple brands.
Asher Cook What course will juniors play? Feb 12, 2021

Grady Williams Feb 12, 2021 For amatuers, Im pretty sure we are playing crossroads.
Neal Dambra Feb 12, 2021 Ams do NOT play The Open Course at Heritage expansion. AMs play Park Ave DGC (temp course at Heritage Park) and Crossroads. Please read the About section on our Disc Golf Scene for more details.
Keegan Haupt Feb 12, 2021 Yes, one round is at Crossroads and the other one is at another course nearby Heritage.
Keegan Haupt Will MJ15 and MJ12 be playing short tees and short pins for the holes that have them? Feb 12, 2021
Neal Dambra Feb 12, 2021 At this point the plan is for everyone to play the same course layouts at Park Ave and Crossroads. Note, AMs do not play The Open Course at Heritage Park.
Keegan Haupt Feb 12, 2021 Ya, I saw.
Asher Cook Do you know what might be in the players pack? Feb 9, 2021
