Done!

Eric Twedell    April 5 at 11:43am

Hi... I am looking for a few people to possibly show me the course Saturday afternoon... driving up from St. Louis if anyone has a place I can crash would be appreciated. My friend was unable to attend.... so by myself.

Hey Jackie, I am sorry but I am trying to avoid any 5somes in the B Pool especially since there are a few 3 somes out there. I could squeeze you in but I would be hesitant to card an FPO with a card of age protected mixed amateurs. Really sorry as I have been trying to do whatever possible (other than having any 5 somes) to get you in

Jackie Grammer   April 7 at 12:55am

No problem at all.. I should have registered earlier when you had more spots available.Have a great tournament.

Dan Schlitter   April 7 at 1:31am

Thanks for your understanding - I'll be sure to reach out directly in the future as I truly value having an FPO field!

Dan Schlitter    March 27 at 3:13pm

Hi everyone! We are just over a week away from the event! I hope you are excited for an awesome tournament planned for you all. Couple of notes as we approach the event:

A new rule in 2024 is that everyone on the card is required to keep score. We recommend you all utilize the PDGA digital scorecard, but I will have paper copies available as well if needed.

We have received word from the park district that the restroom facility will NOT be open for the event. Not to worry, there will be 4 ... more

Pool c for UDisc layout shows 15 from the long/blue pad? Info on here just says 17 blue pin. Long or short pad for 15?

Permalink
Andrew Krieger   March 26 at 7:25pm

For the East course.

Dan Schlitter   March 26 at 7:46pm

Hi Andrew! Great question. Long pad will be used for C Pool on 15.

Sam Martinson    March 15 at 3:01am

For players playing South are we playing Hole 6 regular tee pad or long?

Permalink
Dan Schlitter   March 15 at 12:48pm

6 South will be from regular tee.

Adam Brazee    March 11 at 3:14pm

Is there anything you can do to change that.

Permalink
Dan Schlitter   March 11 at 4:40pm

No problem Adam, I will take care of it and move you to the appropriate waitlist!

Adam Brazee    March 11 at 3:12pm

Hi Dan, I accidentally signed up for MA40 and I was supposed to be MA4. New to tournaments.

what divisions are in each pool?

Permalink
Dan Schlitter   March 8 at 5:18pm

If you look on the registered players page, it will show you which divisions are in which pool.

Eric "ELF" Foesch    February 22 at 3:02pm

I'm AM50 from out of state. Would I be able to get in? I can't be on wait list. No worries if can't. Thanks
I can register as soon as I find out.

Permalink
Dan Schlitter   February 22 at 3:30pm

There is a MA50 spot open right now, if interested please sign up ASAP

Dan Schlitter    February 14 at 5:49pm

Thank you all for the early interest in the event, it makes planning so much easier!!! I cannot wait for April to roll around and for the season to start up in full swing!

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SPONSORED A HOLE! The event will flourish thanks to your support!!! There are still some available!

Please share the event with your clubs, groups, friends, anyone you know that may be interested! Have them get on the waitlist if their desired division is full, as drops are inevitable!

If anyone has any questions, please let me know!

I will be reaching out to all who sponsored a hole tomorrow to gather information/logo for the sign - Holes will be the most visible throughout the 3 courses.

Brant Kling   April 2 at 1:46am

Has an email been sent out? If so, from what email address was it sent?

Dan Schlitter   April 2 at 12:55pm

Yes, I have sent an email to you. It was sent to whichever email you registered with. If you cannot locate it, send a logo to [email redacted] if applicable. Otherwise I will just throw your name & PDGA on there.

Tyler Hedlund    February 8 at 6:40pm

Any guesses on how long the whole event will run? I'll be in the area that weekend, but will have a ~3 hour drive afterwards, so I'm just curious about how late this will go. If not too late, I'm in!

Dan Schlitter   February 8 at 7:43pm

Last year, the event concluded around 5pm - I aim for the same this year!

Kyle Speck    February 8 at 6:24pm

Any way to switch me to ma1? Was filled when I originally went to register

Permalink
Dan Schlitter   February 8 at 7:43pm

Done!

Randy Osborn    February 5 at 8:34pm

Please consider adding MP60 and MP70 to match the AM Divisions for those ages. Thanks!

Dan Schlitter   February 5 at 9:41pm

Hi Randy, I would consider it absolutely - there would be 3 players needed to form a division - so please let me know if you know of any other players that would play MP60 or MP70. I will monitor signups and allocate 4 spots for MP60 or MP70 for any division not showing full interest as needed.

Dan Schlitter   February 8 at 8:02pm

Division has been added
