Steve Hultquist Hi Charles. What Pool will MP60 be assigned to? 6h

Kevin Fodrey Is there not a distance requirement between courses for a tournament? An hour from one course to the next is insane. 2d

Ember Simonis 2d Eh, I've played a major and a q series this year that did the same thing. I don't like it but it's not unheard of.

Teresa Watson What time frames should we expect for Friday tee times? 5d

Charles Raiff 5d Friday starting around noon. Saturday and Sunday starting around 9am. This may get adjusted slightly, but that's what's predicted for now

Mack Cee 2d Thanks, in full support of early tee times especially Sunday!

Cal Benke What pool might a MP75 throw in?
How many to make a division? 7d

Cal Benke 2d Thanks Charles I'm registered.
Are we firm on a Friday start in Bridgman for Pool C? Finalizing travel plans

Charles Raiff 2d Pool C will be in Bridgman at Lake Township Park / Sand Ridge Disc Golf Course on Friday

Cal Benke 15h Thanks Charles, might I bring a CTP prize from Tilley's Disc Golf and Party Store in Traverse City?

Scott Adkins Hello! I’m considering playing in Pool C. What time do you think the MA60 fellers will tee off? I have after noon plans. Sep 21

Charles Raiff Sep 21 Friday noon-1pmish. Saturday and Sunday 9am to 10am-ish

Jonathan Gibson Not for nothing but I live 5 mins from ltp and just mowed at my house people can set up tents if need be. If there was a way to charge 20$ I could rent a porta potty too. Sep 20

Greg kroll Sep 21 I live in allegan and I’m thinking towing my little teardrop an hour and 50 minutes south might be the best depending on my t time. How many people will it take for a port a Jon?

Jonathan Gibson Sep 21 I can't imagine they are more that 150 for a weekend

Jonathan Gibson 7d There is also bathrooms at ltp so if not enough interest for the porttapotty the space is still open for tenting or parking an rv as long as your careful pulling into the yard

Canaan Demorest-Lee Anyone interested in bunking up in a cabin for the weekend? Sep 17

Frank Smith 12h Any chance we can get this in writing? Would make it much easier for people trying to find pieces of info instead of the whole thing.

Greg kroll What does the player pack consist of? And I think the third course should be little John lake county park. Sep 6

Randy Osborn Which pool will MP60 be in? Sep 5

Mp60 will still be in pool A with the rest of the professionals, however we will probably have Mp60 ... show more ›

Nicholas Robertson It's disappointing that the courses haven't been changed for this event. Everyone has been respectful and their input should be implemented if you'd like a good player turnout. Sep 2

Kevin Fodrey As this is a Q-series event and not a normal A-tier, what is the added cash? I don’t see it listed anywhere.

If you have over $3,000, as I’d expect you do with the DGPT designation, you might want to share that to get more signups. Sep 2

Charles Raiff Sep 2 Added cash is currently at $3000.

Thank you for pointing out that it wasn't listed, that has been resolved.

Justin Kuczmanski It’ll be fun watching mpo all shoot -18 at ltp Aug 26

Dustin Valade Sep 17 Its a fun course, thats for sure

Grant Hinkle We’re playing a top 100 course in the world once? I don’t see why we would play a pitch and putt rather than two rounds at Arvesta. I want to see this thing do well but sadly I don’t think it will. Aug 23

This event has the opportunity to be one of the premier events in Michigan for MPO. Unfortunately the course selection is already and will continue to negatively impact it. MPO should not be playing a ... show more ›

Izabella Haberski Jul 28 It’s not the Arvesta Open. I don’t understand the call for multiple rounds there. The MPO players are coming off really whiny right now.

Ross Bosch Jul 28 because MPO wants a challenge. which Arvesta provides. along with the fact bridgeman is way to far away from the other two courses

Izabella Haberski Jul 28

30 min between Arvesta and Shore Acres vs 45 min between Arvesta and LTP. So you can find a place th ... show more ›

Ross Bosch Jul 28 the fact you have to say its not a pitch and putt should tell you why MPOs and a lot of MA1s don't want to play it

Izabella Haberski Jul 28 I don’t see that, but clearly many do. Either way, it just sucks to see so much negativity around what I see as a fun event I want to see competitors at.

Ben VanSumeren Jul 29

The reason this is a problem is 90% of the course IS a pitch and putt for the MPO field. This is an ... show more ›

Nicholas Robertson Jul 29 I agree with Ben here. Pro don't enjoy playing pitch and putts for A tiers

Frank Smith Jul 29 Izabella for a 1010 rated player to shoot his rating, he would have to shoot -15 on 18 holes according to last weeks league ratings. Also, LTP is 1:15 from Shore so Airbnb stays are hard to find.

Telling the players that we’re coming off as whiny is a terrible way of running things. Pros all a ... show more ›

Izabella Haberski Aug 2 Isaac I’m not running things. I’m just someone excited for the event and disappointed with the response.

Ezra Lockington Aug 18 I agree with Frank and Ben

Jared bean Aug 23 I feel that it actually gives you the chance to see who’s the best, it’s its own beast the same as the other courses

Jayson Wright More comments on dgs than people playing this event Jul 21

Frank Smith

Excited for this event but I guess in confused as to why we’re playing in Bridgman? That’s over an hour from Shore Acres, it’s 50 minutes from Arvesta, and the course has little to no score sepa ... show more ›

Tom Wagner Aug 12 Either Paw Paw or Little John instead of Bridgeman. Both are MPO worthy

Joshua Driscoll Aug 20 Unfortunately I don't think the administration of Paw Paw(In Holland) is interested in formal events, I agree that course could be another gem in the area with some investment and planning.

Megan Dophal I think you'll have a hard time getting FPO and FA1 to sign up if we have to play the blue baskets at Lake Arvesta.
I play FPO and actually gave up on the blue baskets and switched to whites after a handful of holes. Just food for thought! Jul 8

Ember Simonis 4d I signed up, but also I completely agree on this.

Izabella Haberski Apologies if I missed this between DGS and the event website, but will there be tee times or is it a shotgun start? Thanks! Jul 7

Charles Raiff Jul 7 This is tee time event

Izabella Haberski Jul 8 Thanks!

Jared Stoll May I ask why MPO and FPO wouldn’t just play all three rounds at Arvesta? I mean this is a q-series event I feel as if you would get a better MPO field on one of the best championship courses in the state Jul 2

Steve Wagner Jul 3 Such a great point ^^ Lake Arvesta is much better

Austen Bates Jul 3 I also question the difficulty of sand ridge, and that even being a course any pro division should be playing. It’s way to short

William Joseph Jun 17 Can you post a link with the schedule and layouts I did not see this info on the thirdcoast website

Charles Raiff Jun 17 Based on your feedback, i have created a new page on Third Coast website with pools and schedule. www.thirdcoastchampionship.com/schedule

David M Hiya!

Are MA50 and FA50 going to be added to the event registration? Apr 1

Charles Raiff Apr 1 Yes I will add sometime later today.

Charles Raiff Apr 2 MA50/FA50 has now been added

Drake Evans Love this tournament. Thank you for putting it on each year.

that being said... imagine if we replaced lake township with breakers.... perfect tournament lol Feb 13

Daniel Bazan Feb 13 Paw paw park one day I hope☺️

Drake Evans Mar 1 I get it! Still quite like Lake Township, breakers is just top tier Michigan disc golf.

Drake Evans Mar 1 I like the variety and can’t wait to play the tournament!
