Where are the Pro doubles at ?

Andrew Sweeton

We are working with the host to see if we can add more space or not.

Nate Heinold

I would use a cart on both courses. Sunset is a 10/10 for friendliness, Northwood is probably 8/10.

michael jaffe

cool, thanks!

Nate Heinold

The course schedule is final. We are working on the course maps, OB rules and scorecards, and those should be finalized within the next week. Caddy guides will get posted later this month.

Mike Fritz

Thanks Nate.

Mike Fritz

Nate have the course guides been posted some place? I could not find them.

Nate Heinold

These are now done, just waiting on approval!

Rob Glover

I just sent you a message

Rob Glover

I'm interested.

Rob Glover

What age? I'm 57.

Ted Miller

Buz Ryalls-Clephane

When you get to the site, click on the PDF and that should answer your questions

Nate Heinold

It is one round per day, and each division will play two different courses.

Tony Basini

Thanks, Nate.

Ronnie Roots Denig

In prior worlds we played 6 rounds, this year only 4.

Tony Basini

Ronnie, that was why I asked. I was expecting 6 rounds over 4 days and hoping they would add at least one or 2 more courses to each pool.

Nate Heinold

If we did 6 rounds over 4 days, the field sizes would have shrunk for each division. Doing one round per day allows more players to play the event. This will also be the largest number of competitors at a Master Worlds.

Harvey Brandt

It was certainly interesting, as one of the "older players" to see that 50+ has 72 spots, 55+ and 60+ both were awarded 36 spots and then a huge drop to only 15 spots for the 60+ group. Interesting is one way to put it.

Scott Taylor

I feel for you, Anthony. But courses only have so much room, and tournaments can only be so big. Here in CO, getting into tournaments is a constant challenge these days. They can’t assume everyone who earned an invite will go. This is the first year I’ve been able to play, even though I& ... more

I feel for you, Anthony. But courses only have so much room, and tournaments can only be so big. Here in CO, getting into tournaments is a constant challenge these days. They can’t assume everyone who earned an invite will go. This is the first year I’ve been able to play, even though I’ve been invited the least couple of years, Get on the waitlist, there will almost certainly be a slew of withdrawals. Good luck!

Harvey Brandt

What I consider to be a really interesting part of all the conversation about field size is that for the PDGA Masters Worlds, the PRO Division is limited to 380 players and the AM Division has 464. It does appear that it is beyond time to split PRO and AM for Masters. The Open Division left the Mast ... more

What I consider to be a really interesting part of all the conversation about field size is that for the PDGA Masters Worlds, the PRO Division is limited to 380 players and the AM Division has 464. It does appear that it is beyond time to split PRO and AM for Masters. The Open Division left the Masters to themselves several years ago, there are certainly plenty of locations ignorer to schedule seperate PRO and AM Worlds.

Harvey Brandt

"in order". Darn computers.

Andrew Sweeton

OK, I'll take care of it!

Nate Heinold

The permanent tee signs on the course will only include feet. We will work on making sure the caddy guides that are available online and the course maps include the information you are requesting.

Tomi Oravainen

That would be a great addition on the course maps, thank you. Thanks in advance also to the whole Worlds organizing team for all the hours you give for making it an unforgettable event for us competitors. Keep up the good work and see you in July!

Nate Heinold

I did talk to my staff today, I can confirm that the course maps that we release to competitors will have meters!

Tomi Oravainen

Excellent, thanks for the confirmation!

Kacie Gallagher

Oops..lol... first*

Andrew Sweeton

For Pros it is generally no player pack, just a cash payout. For Amateurs it is True Amateur, so a big player pack, but no prizes at the end.

Robyn Tindall

Welcome to your first Worlds Event, Kacie Gallagher. I'm sure the first of many!!

Billy Turnbull

Take it all in and enjoy your self, it is also my first one playing got to watch my son play worlds, once. So i put it on my bucket list to do it less once and it should be lots of fun.

Mike Michalak

also it is my understanding Worlds this year will be 1 round a day so what is the need to cap fields at 72 players if scheduled tee times are going to be used ?

Nate Heinold

Ledgestone has that many players because we have multiple pools of players within divisions, which doesn't work as well with Worlds. In addition, we can only have a maximum of 72 players in a pool move on to the semi-final round, so we have to keep those restrictions in mind. Also, we are hosting Junior Worlds at the same time as Master Worlds.

Mike Michalak

will 40% of 72 is 29 players plus ties and if you have 2 pools together of 144 / 40% of that is 58 players if you bump that up to 80 players per pool and 160 players for 2 pools that 40% for the semis would be 64 players which gives you an 8 player cushion up to 72 in case of for ties. I see no need ... more

I see no need for the 72 player cap per pool with scheduled tee times for we have had A tiers and have tee'd off 288 players on one course with scheduled tee times / just sometingto think about to posssibly expand each full pool size by at least 8 players for the #'s work / thanks

Nate Heinold

Mike, it's not as easy as you make it. We generally try to keep most pools to 144 to 152 players. We have already exceeded that for almost all pools. We do not have a lot of flexibility to add additional spots, but we are looking in to our options.

Anthony Faurot

love all your guys work , but i can not lie , very disappointed with my division size and not getting in. had everything lined up to come play and medical emergency left me unable to be right online as fast as i would of liked when it opened , got on the wait list but i won't make it in sadly. love the PDGA.

Nate Heinold

We do expect movement with the waitlist!

Anthony Faurot

Thanks Nate, i am 20 down the list not much chance for me,

Nate Heinold

I will let the PDGA answer that one, but I think you can signup for divisions which you have been invited to at this point in time.

Mike Michalak

Nate as always you guys do a great job, jst trying to give some insight that may not have been looked at to expand each pool size by 8 players since this year the event is only 1 round a day with scheduled tee times / I thought there may be a little more flexibility with pool size / thanks

Nate Heinold

Stay tuned!

Anthony Faurot

Holding out hope for a miracle i really want to play !

Robyn Tindall

Doesn't everyone who got invited??

Anthony Faurot

everyone who got invited did not want to play. i am in the group on the waitlist, who does.

Chris Dierkens

No

Mike Sullivan

Players must sign up for the field events prior to the close of registration. Field events are currently scheduled to take place the Sunday prior to the start of competition, at Five Points/Washington High School: https://www.pdga.com/documents/2022-pdga-masters-worlds/2022-masters-worlds-course-schedule

michael jaffe

ok, thanks. How do I add the field events ?

Jim Jean

You should be able to edit your registration to add them.

michael jaffe

I agree, but I can not find where to modify registration.., thanks for the help

Jim Jean

Go under the registered players tab and it will give you an edit button under where it says you are registered at the top of the page.

michael jaffe

got it. thanks!

Jim Jean

No problem

Nate Heinold

We have not yet released this information.

Doug Payne

let's hope for shorts. I mean we are over 50. lol

Chuck Jaqueth

Nothing wrong with some long tees....

Doug Payne

I agree Chuck. We will see plenty of long holes playing the shorts pins at Sunset and Northwoods Blue.

Doug Payne

2 very tough courses

Andrew Sweeton

Yes, you simply need to register for both.

Anthony Faurot

i must be confused , i am on MA 60+ waitlist, i tried to get on MA 55+ also waitlist since wait list is smaller, it would not allow me, can you get on two waitlist ?

Andrew Sweeton

Anthony - right now you can register for both, as long as you are invited for both. Otherwise you can register for any division you are eligible for on May 18.

Anthony Faurot

thank you

Doug Payne

no reptiles to avoid. If at Eureka, the stinging nettles is something to avoid. Other than that just some poison ivy to look out for.

Michael Stridsberg

Thank you, Doug. We have poison ivy here so I know how to avoid that, and I'll look up stinging nettles. Are there tics? Hornets? Any variety of dangerous spiders?

Doug Payne

ticks yes, bees yes, but hornets not too many. Brown Recluse spiders are bad around here, but usually in dark garages not in open daylight

Doug Payne

and you are welcome

Bethel Barrett

Stinging Nettles is a good therapy for arthritis relief. That's why you will see a lot of us old guys kinda grazing in there.

Robyn Tindall

Bethel..... lolololol. Women too...

Michael Stridsberg

Nate, thank you for the email you sent today covering this subject.

Andrew Sweeton

Wish I could give you an exact answer, but it depends who drops, when, and from what division.

Jay Simpson

Yeahhh I figured. 29 people dropping out of an event of this stature just seems unlikely. It's gotta be a bucketlist item for a bunch of nerds like us, who I doubt would elect to miss out on the ability to be able to talk about how they played in the world championships once, lol. I guess I'll just check the box that costs a few more bucks to be able to cancel the hotel anytime.

Erich Partee

yes all majors have the same as any B or A tier. polo or sports shirt

Patrick Conway

Awesome, thank you for the speedy response, much appreciated.
