Is there any possibility that check in could be extended past 5pm Monday, or another way to check in? Flights land at 1:30 in phx, with bag and car it will be really tough to make 5pm check in.

Sorry to add a comment that doesn't address much but Thanks Andrew Sweeton for timely answers. We may not always like what your answers but at least you are replying.

Just curious about how 1 person can be registered for 2 different divisions at the same time. They are taking up an entry that could go to someone else.

They were invited for both, as soon as they decide which they will play, we will refund the other and the spot can be taken. If already filled at that time it will go to the first person on the waitlist.

Is the player pack shirt a dry fit material or a cotton tee?
Andrew Montgomery March 30, 2023 at 3:32pm
Dumb question, I'm just a regular invitee...if I do a Hole Sponsorship can I register now instead of waiting until April 12th? Thank you.

just curious, but if I played all year long as MA50.
Why did I get put into the MA55 registration invite????

My actual points for last year were 1165, so by the standards I am seeing I should have gotten an invite for both ma55 (500 points) and MA50 (500 points).

Read the invite criteria doc for the difference between a Primary invite and a Secondary invite. ALL of your Amateur points only counted towards your Primary Worlds Division of MA55. To also have received a secondary invite for MA50 you needed 500 points earned while actually playing in MA50, but you only had 262.5 points playing in MA50.

If I intend to have a caddie, do I need to purchase a spectator pass for them?

You do not need to purchase a spectator pass for when they are actively caddying. If you intend to spectate at Little America for rounds you are not playing your caddie will need a spectator pass.

Those matrimonial caddies can be pricey ... I can't pay my wife enough to carry my bag.

Wow. Only 19 spots for MA60. And 63 spots for MA50. That's unfair..Please Adjust your division numbers.

Riley - First, space is limited by the available courses and second, that space then needs to be allocated as best we can not only roughly according to membership and invitation numbers, but with the caveat that we still need to provide space for all divisions to be included. The reality is that there are a lot more MA50 players than MA60 players.

There are 1040 invited MA50 players to fit 72 slots, and only 366 MA60 players to fit 52 slots. If you want to argue 'fair', it sounds like MA60 players have a lot better chance of getting in.

Good point Big Dawg and Loren. In reality we can make this event a lot bigger than it is!!
Lee Bremer March 29, 2023 at 12:07pm
So the host city will not have an airport available during the week of the tourney? Is this correct?

We don't expect many players to actually fly into Flagstaff. PHX is the best choice and is a large, international airport.

I was planning to fly into Flagstaff, until I saw the price difference, better off the 2.5 hour drive than the cost difference.

Is the Amateur Master Worlds by invitation only?
Chris Dierkens
March 24, 2023 at 12:20am
Kind of. It’s an earned points based invitational with 10% threshold invite catch-all.

Chris is correct. Players earned invitations by their performance in 2022, and those invited players get first dibs on registration. We eventually open registration to the public on April 26.

In the prelim schedule, the courses are all abbreviations. Can you help me with LAL and LACC? I think I got the rest

I liked the older Worlds where you got to play more than two courses over the duration of the tournament.
Todd Lion March 22, 2023 at 4:42pm
Elevations in Flagstaff are 7,000 feet (2,134 m) at the six courses in town, but range from 9,000 feet (2,744 m) up to 10,500 feet (3,200 m) at the highest points of Snowbowl. Arizona's dry climate may affect you differently than your home environment. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the dangers of elevation and the effects on the human body. Below are some tips and links we have found to be helpful.

I'm pretty sure you can check in all week.
They have been real good about it in the last.
Please keep your eyes on the posted Draft Course Schedule, which lists DRAFT check-in dates and times. We are assessing if this can be/should be slightly amended.
