Is there any way to get on the wait list still?

Drew VandenToorn    May 30, 2014 at 7:29am

Ok john please take me off the wait list and refund the registration...I guess I don't know how in the world I didn't get in when I was at wait list 1...3 days ago but it's cool. I just don't want to take my chances with a lot of hours of driving and gas money.

failure to register before the event was full was the deciding factor

John Minicuci   May 30, 2014 at 12:09am

refund issued

Is p2p included in reg. fees?

John Minicuci   May 30, 2014 at 12:10am

This was answered below. Payment to enter the park is on the players. P2P is covered with your entry fee

Cassidy Mayne   May 30, 2014 at 6:33am

Thanks. Thought I saw it before but couldn't find it.

John Minicuci   May 30, 2014 at 11:04pm

No problem. See you in the morning.

Mark Stephens    May 30, 2014 at 7:06am

For tournament staff, the event begins tomorrow. All information needed can be found in the posts below or the About section. Questions posted here probably will not be answered in a timely fashion.

Should I go if I'm supposedly wait list 1???

Josh, if I had a crystal ball I would ask for the 6 digits of Saturday's lotto rather than try to predict if 1 of 144 players are going to not show up for an event they paid for. The question is really simple, do you want to drive out here and take a chance that one does not show? If you stay at home, you have no chance.

Sean McPeak   May 29, 2014 at 10:22pm

BOOOM!

Josh Timm    May 30, 2014 at 5:08am

Update for me my Pdga number finally arrived. It is 66765

I know you guys said you didnt need many spotters. I dont know if the parks are going to cut the grass, if you dont land in the fairway the grass is 3ft tall. Just a heads up if you guys havent been to the course latley.

Just played a round on each course today and the mosquitoes were out in force. I slew as many as I could, but remember to bring some bug spray!

The official list is below. Nobody has confirmed a cancellation so there list remains as is.

Mark Stephens   May 29, 2014 at 8:34pm

We have a log of when people registered. That is what we are going by for the list.

Drew VandenToorn   May 29, 2014 at 8:44pm

Should I drive the 4 hours or not is the hard question

Scott Ransley    May 30, 2014 at 4:13am

How early do you want Open players there before their tee times?

Mark Stephens   May 29, 2014 at 4:50pm

I believe we asked people to check in with the starter 30 minutes prior to their tee time last year.

George Beno    May 29, 2014 at 11:29pm

Im not sure if im the only one, but I cannot see any tee times on the pdga website. Not sure when to show up!?

Daymon Pugh   May 29, 2014 at 3:38pm

Not

Mark Stephens   May 29, 2014 at 4:29pm

Found the issue why they kept getting over ridden on the PDGA site. They are up and should remain up. Thanks for pointing this out.

Josh Stevenson    May 29, 2014 at 10:14pm

Hi John,
Could you please refund the fee for myself, had some stuff come up and will not make it. Glad to see you guys are full. Good luck all.

As I had posted yesterday, we are not offering cash refunds per the PDGA Competition Manual Section 1.3.D. Your player pack will be sent to you if you choose to withdraw. Please PM me your mailing address if that is what you would like to do.

Benny G.    May 29, 2014 at 5:33pm

As excited as a fat kid in a candy shop!!!! Let the weekend begin!!!!

Tentative tee times are posted on the PDGA site. We currently have them at 15 minute intervals. These are subject to change. Tee times will be updated by 1 pm on Thursday, May 29, 2014 if any changes are going to be made. The groupings are most likely set but the times may be adjusted.

Won't come to that anyway

Rob Jerisk   May 31, 2014 at 4:16am

John looks like 15 in Grand mater. Do you need a 16th. If so let me know. 248-697-7020

Patrick Hood    May 29, 2014 at 8:21am

What if I'm on the wait list and I live 3 hours away?? Am I just too late?

Permalink
John Minicuci   May 29, 2014 at 12:26am

We are not going to call you at 9:01 to see if you can make it or not. It is totally up to you if you want to take the chance.

Patrick Hood   May 29, 2014 at 12:56am

Do you think I would play if I was 7th on the waiting list?

John Minicuci   May 29, 2014 at 1:04am

I do not have a crystal ball, sorry. My experience would sadly tell me that 7 people not showing is an improbable situation. However, like we stated before, there are many scenarios where #7 might get in. The 6 before you might not show either. Some before you might be in a different pool and the only spot that opens is in a pool they do not qualify for, etc...

chris deitzel    May 29, 2014 at 7:18am

Will tee times be posted here? Or on the website?

chris deitzel   May 28, 2014 at 11:22pm

I see round one grouping is by PDGA number. Will it be 4-somes or 5-somes? And does first card start at 9:00?

John Minicuci   May 28, 2014 at 11:34pm

Kevin Baldwin    May 29, 2014 at 4:36am
