I left a message a while back (the day I registered for the event) to add myself and Laurie Cloyes to the mixed doubles event. I never heard back. By the time I tried to register, the event is closed. I doubt the event is full. Any way we can be added? I are not walk ups, just no one ever returned the e-mail message.

I played riverside today, using the the new baskets and flag marked tees, I love the changes

But I am pretty sure the distances marked in the PDF file for worlds are off on holes15-18 by a Substantial amount

Thanks to those who came out this weekend to Grand Isle to help with course improvements. A lot was accomplished, however there will still be more labor needed before we can say it is finished. Thanks again.

Please be advised that practice time for the PRIVATE courses are 4 Days prior to the start of competition. This will begin on 8/11 to 8/14 from 9-5.

Unless you have prior authorization from specifically the course owner, please do not just show up to Blue Gill or Black Falcon outside of the times outlined above.

Are there directions or an address posted for Black Falcon somewhere?

Just in case you didn't have anything to do this weekend, but wanted to do something useful, there are some things needed to be done at Grand Isle (aka Rotary North). Nothing major, we'll call it "light gardening." Bring gardening tools, if you have them.
Saturday let's start at 10am and see what we can accomplish. Lunch will be provided. And if we're feeling it, we could sneak in a round of DG, too.
Sunday let's start at 10am too, just because, to see if ... more

I'm betting they don't allow cashless pre reg for this PDGA Major

Randy "Shide-Arm" Shideler   July 26, 2017 at 6:55pm

Not currently. When I drove back & forth from GR to Novi Monday & Tuesday, there were no lane closures. That's not to say it couldn't have changed. Here's a link that might help: http://mdotnetpublic.state.mi.us/drive/

Darren Harper   July 26, 2017 at 8:55pm

Thank you for helping.

Randy "Shide-Arm" Shideler    July 24, 2017 at 5:50pm

This weekend, Saturday 7/29 & Sunday 7/30, in preparation for the upcoming Pro Masters, we are looking for people who are willing & able to help with some course improvements at Grand Isle (aka GR Rotary). A couple of the main tasks we'll be taking on is leveling the teepads & filling in some of the holes around the course. If you are interested, please comment below or hit me up with a PM. We'll see about doing some lunch, as well & maybe get in a round of DG

Just had a chance to play fallasburg. Can't say enough good things about it. Also played rotary not so good. Are they playing the long tees on fallasburg for the worlds?

Jacob Stahl   July 24, 2017 at 11:50pm

It depends on division for Longs/Shorts at Fallasburg. MPM and MPS are longs, while FPM, FPG, FPS/L, MPL, MPE and MPR are shorts.

mark ellis    July 22, 2017 at 10:03pm

Course questions: I am guessing that Bluegill will be tee times and all 24 holes played. True? When will Fallasburg and Rotary be set up in Worlds final form ( all OB's marked, etc)? Oh and when will the schedule be finalized (the current schedule is listed as subject to change)?

Jacob Stahl   July 24, 2017 at 10:01pm

Blue gill be will tee times as well as Black Falcon, all 24 at BG and all 20 at BF. Fallasburg should be more of less set now, only ob that will be marked there is the parking lot. A metal fence that runs along the road is the other defined line for OB there, as well as the river behind 16. Rotary ... more

FYI Brewer-18 is ready to play. Some local pros are already tearing-it-up.

Is Riverside ready for play yet?

Jacob Stahl   July 21, 2017 at 3:43pm

Baskets were installed last night, it is in playable format but some tee pads still need to be installed but they are marked so you could play it in the championship layout

Jammie Letts   July 21, 2017 at 4:12pm

Nice thank you Jacob.

Sancho Valdez   July 21, 2017 at 10:10pm

Just finished! They made nice changes.

Samuel Sherwood    July 19, 2017 at 2:59pm

Can I reg if I turn 40 this year?

simon newman    July 14, 2017 at 12:34am

I'm trying to pull out of this event. Tried contacting the the TDs but they said I need to do this through this site or the PDGA. I would have the thought the process would be a lot easier than this. Can someone help.

Mike Michalak   July 14, 2017 at 12:21am

you received an email when you registered for this event from the disc golf scene and at the bottom of that email is a link to cancel and request refund. Use that link to request refund for that is how I process refunds for the PDGA events that I run

Mark Stephens   July 14, 2017 at 10:49am

That is how they do it.

Mike Michalak    July 12, 2017 at 1:18pm

I keep hearing we're playing 6 rounds in 3 days before the semi finals. Is this true and when can we expect a schedule for pools, divisions etc.? Thanks!
