2022 Midwest Amateur Championship

How do we get our ace pot payout?

Lindsey Hermanson    July 24, 2022 at 1:06am

The FA2 cards seem slightly out of order the lead card is squeezed in between the players behind them in terms of scoring instead of going last?

Anthony Newberry    July 23, 2022 at 1:23am

Great job Scott and Cade, and whoever else was involved with the player's packs. I also loved the putter course, didn't putt it well, but had fun doing it. Thanks for your efforts.

Kenan Staples    July 22, 2022 at 11:24pm

This is a long shot, but i thought i would try. My son was practicing at Cedar Ridge and lost his range finder, he thinks he set it on the ground after using it. It was a Bushnell White Rangefinder. He also thought it was on the last few holes. If you found it, or know someone who did please let me know. Thanks

Good Evening,

Tomorrow starts the 2022 Midwest Amateur Championships. Everything is ready to rock and roll and for you to shoot some HOT rounds tomorrow.

The most current course details are attached. If you have printed them, please replace them with these. These are good guidelines, however, the official details are on the PDGA scoring page. If there are any discrepancies between these course details and the PDGA scoring, the PDGA scoring takes priority. The details sheets indicate distance and par, and the PDGA scoring indicates, distance, par, and basket color. If there is a discrepancy with these details, the basket color as indicated on the pdga scoring takes priority.

I have gone through these many times and I really don't feel you will find any discrepancies, but if you do, the pdga scoring is always right.

Once again make sure you bring a TON of water with you to keep hydrated and not risk any changes of dehydration.

Tomorrow from 2-7:30p is Players Package Pick up at RoKC in Olathe ( 654 N Central St, Olathe, KS 66061) and is also the RoKC Putting Championships presented by Dynamic Discs Kansas City.

Every player who is participating in the MAC gets a Free entry to compete. If you are not competing in the MAC or have a friend who wants to play, they can for $5. You can play as many times as you want for $5 per round.

There is also a cash round for $5 per round.

Tee Times are listed

We will try to have Round 2 Tee Times posted by 8 pm each night at the same link.

We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow and GOOD LUCK!

Once again, it is going to be crazy HOT this weekend, please do not be the person who passes out due to heat stroke. BRING A LOT of WATER with you, do not rely on what may or may not be on the course. If you bring 4 32oz bottles of Gatorade/water and plan to warm up and then play, you will not have enough. I can't stress enough how important it is to bring entirely too much water with you.

ROKC Putting Championships presented by Dynamic Discs Kansas City.

All MAC competitors will get a FREE opportunity to compete in the putting championships. The winner of both the MA1 and FA1 divisions will receive a Dynamic Discs Portable Recruit Basket as your prize. You are able to play more than once, for $5.

If you have someone who wants to play but is not competing in the MAC, they can also participate for the same $5 fee.

If you want to play for cash, you can do that for $5 (not included as part of your player's package) and the winner will receive half the cash pot. The Cash Pot will start at $100.

There will also be games and raffles during the Friday ROKC Putting Championships presented by Dynamic Discs Kansas City.

Don't forget Players Pack Pick up is at ROKC on Friday 07/22 from 2-7:30p and at Cedar Ridge on Saturday 07/23 from 10-5p.

If you do not get your player's package between these times, you risk not getting your player's package, please make the proper arrangements.

Thank you and I'll look forward to seeing you on Friday.

I am currently in the hospital and am being told I’m going to have an operation today. Which means I will not be able to play in the tournament this weekend. Is it still possible to get a refund or if not could I send someone to pick up my players pack and the disc golf mystery bag?

Jim Davenport    July 19, 2022 at 9:13pm

Will the Juniors (MJ15) be going off Am or later on Fri!? Thanks

Good Morning and welcome to MAC Week,

Water
It is going to be very hot during the competition and although we will do what we can to make sure you have water options, please go to the event as if you know we will not have any water. Bring extra water. When I say extra, I mean gallons or a case of water in a cooler in your car. Bring 3 to 4 or more bottles with you on the course. I can't stress enough how important it is to make sure you bring plenty of water.

Registration
Registration is closed, which means even if the event is not full, we are not accepting any more registrations. If you have to cancel, please do it before Wednesday.

Can I be put on the earliest card for my division on friday please.

Stan Balke    July 18, 2022 at 11:22am

This may have been asked and answered, but is there a check-in spot or time the day before or can we just check-in at course we are playing?

Kenneth McWhorter    July 17, 2022 at 10:02pm

Are there any ma60 on the waitlist?

Robert Eich    July 15, 2022 at 12:28pm

Hi I requested to withdraw a few days ago and am still registered, could this please be processed?

Courtney Eklund    July 8, 2022 at 9:20pm

I still am struggling to withdraw. I created an account on this website and the only tournament that I’m able to withdraw from is the KCWO. Where else can I withdraw as I never received a confirmation email when I registered.
