All discs are brought in by Discraft themselves. Tournament staff has nothing to do with that so sadly we cannot answer your question.

Benny G.    May 23, 2014 at 10:55pm

Douglas McIntosh   May 22, 2014 at 6:36pm

If there are under 70 pro's will the first tee time still be 7:30am?

John Minicuci    May 23, 2014 at 12:36am

The Toboggan Course is in. PLEASE: Anyone going out there to play, be wary of the tee boxes and do not destroy them. Also: PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT! KEEP IT GREEN! We are hosting two big events here, one an A Tier and one a PDGA Major. If you see anything that needs picking up, please pick it up and place it in the nearest trash bin. Let's all keep this course as it should be and not trash the place. The world will be watching in 2 weeks and we should keep showing the world that Michigan can ... more

It was closed last year on Thursday as well. This will be the plan for future years. There are still days to play it tho this week and next.

Eric Dusten   May 26, 2014 at 2:51pm

maybe next year. I live to far away. I hope every disc golfer picks up at every course every time they are out. not just for a special course for special tournaments. I know the guys I play with do. if we don't respect our courses, the random players won't either. hoping to come see the big boys play next weekend. are

Eric Dusten   May 26, 2014 at 2:52pm

No. Sorry.

Jared Frost    May 22, 2014 at 6:00am

Unreal how many bushes are gone out there. It looks like a completely different course - in a bad way. Lack of control and placement are now allowed on Toboggan.

Ben Bobowski   May 21, 2014 at 10:31pm

So all of the baskets are back in?

Mark Stephens   May 21, 2014 at 11:34pm

Alex Hamilton    May 21, 2014 at 8:57pm

Just renewed my PDGA membership but it says it might take 10 days for it to register in the system. Any way I can still register for this in the meantime?

John Minicuci   May 21, 2014 at 5:50pm

Memberships are processed only on Wednesdays at the PDGA office. If you want in I suggest contacting them asap.

Jeff Kaluk    May 21, 2014 at 7:48am

Hey john, after we talked i registered Andrew for Open. Have not seen his name yet so let me know if there is any issue. Thanks

Does anyone know if the Toboggan course will be open to the public the Thursday before DGLO? If I remember correctly the Thursday before the tournament started last year it was only open for practice rounds to people playing the Open division at DGLO.

Eric McCahill    May 18, 2014 at 10:43pm

Since Kensington recently cut a TON of trees & brush down, our roles as spotters will shift more towards general volunteers with an emphasis on course management, crowd control, etc. Since we don't need an unlimited amount of spotters like we once did, the plan now is to take volunteers each morning on a first-come, first-served basis (preference going to veteran volunteers). 10-15 people on Fridays, 15-20 people on Sat/ Sundays. We'll announce official times soon, but it'll b ... more

John Minicuci   May 20, 2014 at 12:41am

We need time to set up the boards and advertise tee times so the players can prepare properly.

Brian Hyzertron Crouch    May 18, 2014 at 9:19am

does anyone know when the Toboggan will be open?
