On the Expected Divisional Tee Time Ranges spreadsheet, it says "Subject to change due to environmental conditions...."
Is having most of the older Divisions playing in the hottest part of the day, during next week's heat wave, enough of an "environmental condition" to get some change?

Patrick, thanks for the reply but, my comment was not about which Division goes last. My point is, tee times should be assigned to protect player health and safety as much as possible. Older Divisions are more at risk with afternoon tee times during the hottest time of the day.

Patrick Graziani   July 10, 2023 at 10:25pm

We agree and after more thought, are working on an adjustment to the F pool tee times. Any changes will be announced via email, and during the player meeting this evening.

Jaime Perry   July 10, 2023 at 11:29pm

Patrick thank the whole team for reconsidering this and making an adjustment ... even if that means I move to the heat of the day, I'm happy to do the right thing.

Will there be a lost and found from last year’s worlds ?

Patrick Graziani   July 10, 2023 at 5:22pm

Sorry Phil, we do not keep the lost and found at the end of each event.

Anyone find a black berg xo on McPherson today? Reward!

Question about players mandatory meeting.
One document says 1800-1900. So that’s 6pm to 7pm? Another document says 8pm to 9pm. So when is it? Also what plans on parking for mandatory meeting? Almost 900 players to attend meeting. For field events I saw maybe a 100 parking places. Also overheard employees at the little store saying disc golfers don’t know how to park because vehicles are all over the truck lot. I think we all know how to park, just not available spots. Even if we all car pool 2 per vehicle. Still need 450 parking spots?

I'm considering an Uber ... just to avoid the parking snafu.

Steve Ganz   July 10, 2023 at 12:13am

The players meeting starts at 8PM. We will be sending out an email clarifying this to all players along with parking information.

Joe Miesbauer   July 11, 2023 at 1:45am

Anyone going to players meeting from the Residence Inn on N. Humphreys St.. Wouldn't mind carpooling.

Rob Lee    July 9, 2023 at 2:41am

If you know Chad Miltenberger from Charlotte, NC tell him his F7 will be at Little America Lost & Found Sunday after lunch.

Chad Miltenberger   July 10, 2023 at 12:20pm

Thanks Rob! I’ll grab it today! That’s a nice understable disc that will come in handy at this altitude.

Crystal Spinas    July 9, 2023 at 12:50am

What refund waitlist with a spot open? That makes no sense!

While I understand the frustration of not getting in to the event ... I'm with Ron all the complaining because you don't understand the limitation on the TDs is pretty uncalled for. Common sense says they would like to get everyone in ... but it's just not possible when your talking about a tournament with 500 participants.

John McCarty   July 9, 2023 at 6:57pm

Maybe they should take a page out of the ledgestone playbook. They make it happen with over 2000 participants over 9 different courses. Between the pros and AMs here they’re not even over a 1000.

Allen Risley   July 9, 2023 at 8:58pm

No offense to Ledgestone, but they only play 3 rounds, compared to 4 plus semifinals PLUS a Final 9 at Masters Worlds. Oh...and divisional doubles and field events. In order to make the event work there have to be deadlines and field size caps. I'm sorry that some of you are on the unhappy s ... more

I see a lot of players not certified officials. Are they all waiting until the last day to complete the exam? Weird.....

Thanks Big Dawg. Makes since now. Then its weird that they haven't done identity verification yet.

Wesley Hunt   July 9, 2023 at 5:28am

Identity verification is not required in advance, and is not something the registration flow would have brought you to naturally. There are lots of reasons folks might not want to upload a photo ID online to some set of “secure servers.”

Bethel Barrett   July 9, 2023 at 4:36pm

total agree with Wesley Hunt assessment of security concerns. Banks get hacked and somewhat frequently. PDGA is not more secure. Its just who wants what they have until they collect important info.

When do we find out tee times?

Chad Loegering   July 8, 2023 at 2:15am

Andrew Sweeton 10 hours ago After check-in completes on Monday. But an "Expected Tee Times" doc should be up later today/

Jeffrey McCormick    July 8, 2023 at 12:30am

Anyone know where the lost and found will be for Little America Crew Course? I lost a black/grey range finder somewhere from hole 5 and hole 13 before I realized I didn't have it. It fell out of its case. Thanks in advance.

Jaime Perry   July 8, 2023 at 11:16am

Sure hope you get it back Jeffrey ... I had to put my ranger finder on a carabiner and hook it to my bag because mine kept falling out on the course without me noticing.

Jeffrey McCormick   July 11, 2023 at 1:00am

I hope so too! I have a velcro case and I catch it not being very sticky sometimes. Worst time for it to happen.

Tony Dalton    July 7, 2023 at 11:17pm

How bad is Poison Ivy/Poison Oak in Flagstaff?

Permalink
Bill Block   July 8, 2023 at 4:10am

Very uncommon. Saw a small patch of poison ivy left of 3's fairway on LACC.

Tony Dalton   July 8, 2023 at 12:32pm

Thanks. I am highly allergic. I usually wear pants for all events in NC. Just checking if I could wear shorts and be ok!!

Edward Solger    July 7, 2023 at 10:59pm

If you’re looking for #52 in MA60 (WL#4)send email to me I’ll be there or notify me.

I don’t either.

Bryan Pyle    July 7, 2023 at 7:55pm

I need another clarification. The caddy book has LAL final nine as 9-18. That can’t be right. Is it 10-18? OR 1-9? Thank You.

Bill Kirk   July 7, 2023 at 8:23pm

caddie book has 9-11 and 13-18 but dont know if it is right

Bill Block   July 7, 2023 at 8:39pm

9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 is correct.

Scott Hougland    July 7, 2023 at 7:46pm

FYI, LACC par on Udisc hole 18 is incorrect.

I'm playing NAU today and noticed some token gravel fill around the tee pads. IT'S NOT NEARLY ENOUGH! The drop offs around these pads are a serious safety issue. Players safety should be a higher priority.

I enjoyed the course this morning and left without injury. And I'm not the most agile or nimble old guy. I think it is in awesome condition. Keep up the good work!

shelley Kingma-Kitchen    July 7, 2023 at 3:22pm

Noticed I have been placed in FA40 for putting and skill shots competition but I'm in my FA50 division for long distance. Is there a reason why? Because I thought all of my challenges were in FA50

Permalink
Andrew Sweeton   July 7, 2023 at 3:55pm

Long Drive is the only Field Event that uses all normal divisions. Putting and Skillshot only use divisions of "Under 60" and "60 or over"

shelley Kingma-Kitchen   July 8, 2023 at 12:12am

Ok thank you

Kristofer Jonson    July 7, 2023 at 3:22pm
