I second the idea that Jr. Worlds should never coincide with another World Championship. Last year, I wanted to compete in the AM Masters Worlds, but was unable because it was the exact same week as Juniors, and I can't be there with my son for his rounds and compete in mine at the same time. Same went this year for AM Worlds. I had no option to even consider it.

Steven, thank you very much for the feedback. All of the courses at this event were a maximum of 35 minutes apart. As for the "fun" experience, at the end of the day, the competition still needs to be the most important thing about the event. We have to make sure the courses are marked properly, staffed properly, etc, before considering side events. With that in mind, your comment is duly noted. We did have activities every single day for the Juniors to give them a fun activity, but we know some were truncated due to weather. In terms of the air quality day off, it was impossible to plan anything because we were still hoping throughout the day to actually play disc golf. If we had tried to put on something during the day but then play suddenly resumed, it would have been challenging to get people to the course on time. Thank you for the suggestions!

So if a disc lands in the water and the player needs to take relief farther from the target and on the line of play, they’re going to have to figure out how to get across the creek first? That’s going to be pretty difficult in some places.

Last year they gave you 5 throws and they had to land within the in bounds area which is pretty wide. They marked the throw at where it touches the ground and not where it ends up. I don’t know about retrieving discs but I don’t think it would work very well.

Last year you couldnt retrieve your disks until all 4 or 5 throwers were done throwing the 5 disks. And someone out in field was collecting them for you. The is a spotter and collector for each thrower.

Hi Jason. The answer is technically never. If something drastic happens and we have to remove a course next week due to uncontrollable circumstances, the schedule that is posted during the event isn't accurate. This is extremely unlikely to happen and the schedule you are showing now is very likely to be the order of play.

Yes, family members are welcome to spectate, but they can't accompany the group, they need to remain in spectator areas, only a caddie may accompany the player unless the player is <13 in which case a single accompanying guardian may accompany the group.
