Was wondering if there was any update on the layouts or when we will be getting an email giving us more information on the event ?

For everyone asking about course layouts, I’m not a part of the tournament staff, but as a local player who is on the waitlist, I would assume the layouts are going to Fallasburg Long 18, Brewer Gold Tees, and then Rotary and Johnson should be the main layout. Anything other than these layouts would surprise me.

I haven’t played it, but I believe 3 Acres is like playing mini golf. It’s a fun, short course with obstacles on somebody’s property.

Madison Borzick   July 6 at 2:29am

Even for the women? Coming from out of town and I have no idea what to expect

Trevor Potter   July 6 at 12:11pm

Layouts are posted in the about section, not sure if they were there when I made my original comment or if it was just recently added

Ethan Owens    July 5 at 7:13pm

This weekend is the only weekend before the tournament that I can practice the courses as I'm not local to Michigan. I think it's pretty important to be able to practice the correct layout at the courses and as we are now a month out it seems reasonable to have the layouts finalized. Pretty frustrating no TD or event staff will respond to multiple comments asking about layouts. Especially because this is the biggest tournament an MA1 player can compete in.

I don't know if there is a standard timeline to release course layouts for majors, but I do know that for Junior Worlds that starts in 11 days, the course layouts were released 2 weeks to the day before the start. So yes 3 days ago. So it could be possible not to see the finalized layouts for t ... more

Any updates on the layouts yet? Hoping to get out there in the next couple weeks and want to know what to practice :)

Do we think we'll see a fair number of withdrawals soon? Trying to plan accordingly. I feel like there is less withdrawals than last year's championships at this point. But kind of hard to remember that far back. haha.

This year i started at 34th and am now at 7th. Last year i started at 64th and got to 11th. I heard in 2022 the 93rd player made it in… . But the whole thing is pretty unpredictable. It’s hard to know whether registered players or waitlisters are dropping off unless you have a computer program keeping track of it. Good luck!! :)

Thomas Hapka   July 24 at 11:43am

Also last year was 336 spots. This year 288, so possibly a bit fewer withdrawals because less ppl in general

Thomas Hapka    July 3 at 11:35am

Tomorrow july 4th is the last day to withdraw and be guaranteed a full refund, ladies. After that, it goes down to 75, 50, 25, 0% each week, unless your spot is filled in which case you could still get a full refund (but currently no waitlist)

That does make sense. Especially when I don't read it with sleepy brain.

Thomas Hapka   July 6 at 5:49pm

Ya, dustin is correct. Sorry it was unclear. The deadlines dont matter for ma1 because there is a massive waitlist. Ladies withdrawing will lose money when withdrawing because there is no waitlist to fill their spot. and what day they withdraw will determine how much they lose.

Thomas Hapka   July 6 at 5:52pm

As long as ma1 withdraw by the 31st (or 1st?), they should get a full refund

The Earl Brewer Park is currently closed for parking lot construction. I have worked with the Kent County Parks to coordinate that the construction team prioritize the back parking lot renovations in order to open access to the disc golf course first.

I have communication out to the Kent County Parks Director to confirm the schedule and when to expect access. I expect to have further details after the 4th of July Holiday that I will post ASAP.

Any updates on MA1 layouts? Looks like Johnson just has one layout but Earl W Brewer and Fallasburg have different sets of tees. I assume we're playing longs but would just like to clarify. Thanks!

All shorts at Johnson lol

Luke Conway    June 30 at 12:47am

My partner and I have been signed up for the mixed dubs event for a while. When is that going to show up on PDGA?

Rebecca Duffy   June 30 at 2:27am

I see that your signed up. We have to manually put teams on the event page. Your team will be there soon.

Emily Wiegert   July 3 at 9:08pm

Rebecca, same for my husband and me. Where do we find the pdga page for doubles? Or any other information about it. Thanks

Thomas Hapka   July 4 at 2:39am

Yes, is there an event page for doubles? Is it full?

Sam Goetsch    June 28 at 12:14pm

Hello! For those of you getting off the waitlist and are looking for a place to stay let me know, I'm trying to fill up an house for the weekend!

Also hop on the Facebook group to coordinate rounds or carpooling during the week of the event - https://www.facebook.com/share/QjA8u7kNiiPqi2Ng/

Stephanie De La Cruz   June 28 at 6:06pm

I just asked to join the group. I’d be interested! I’m currently looking for a place to stay still that’s within my budget.

Riley McFarland    June 14 at 9:44pm

Hi there - does the MA1 pool shuffle mean players could switch pools halfway through the week? Is it possible that a player plays the same 2 courses all week or are players guaranteed to play each of the four courses?

Jeff Stout   June 14 at 11:27pm

Check the link for course schedule.

Jacob Stahl   June 15 at 2:51pm

Only 3 courses will be used per division and all 3 courses in each division will be played by all players in said division.

Riley McFarland   June 17 at 5:19pm

Thanks Jacob! I see now that Pool C is FA1

Jake Ribich    June 14 at 8:27pm

Are friends/family able to walk the courses and spectate? And if so, would there be any fees associated with spectating?

Permalink
Jacob Stahl   June 15 at 2:49pm

Anyone is welcome to come and spectate at no charge

Jason Connatser    June 10 at 8:45pm

If anyone is looking to split a hotel room, send me a message here or on Facebook!

Ben Adinolfi    June 6 at 8:10pm

Finally off the waitlist, is there any FA1 players still looking for a doubles partner?

John Geiger    June 5 at 8:49pm

Hi all,

Posting again to see if anyone else is interested in sharing an airbnb. There's two of us right now and we're hoping to book soon if we can get a few more people to join. Thanks!

Also, here's the link to the FB group for any who missed it before:

Wondering if there was any update on course layouts? Will Brewer be all golds, mixture of reds/golds? Will fallasburg be reds for FA1, longs for Mixed Dubs? Looking for as much info as possible, know were still a ways out and things can change. Thank you for everything.

Any update on layouts? I’m hoping to play the courses in early July. Curious when we’ll know more about layouts, thanks!

Aidan McSweeney   June 24 at 4:59pm

Brewer will be closed for all of July for construction, according to a sign that was posted at the front of the park over the weekend

Madison Borzick   June 25 at 10:35pm

Thanks Aidan for the heads up, that’s a bummer! Do you happen to know if the course could still be walked or is it completely closed off? Thanks!

Brent Rosen    May 28 at 5:47pm

I’m looking for a partner for Am Worlds doubles. If anyone is interested send me a message.

I messaged you!

Thomas Hapka    May 23 at 11:09am

Is this part of the “about” section new? I looked in the links but couldnt find out when previous world champion spots are released… anyone?

“Important Note: For the actual divisional capping, be sure to check the chart on the Course Schedule as the DGS caps will change due to specific registration tiers as well as due to spots being held and then released for World Champions.”

Andrew Sweeton   May 23 at 11:38am

That part of the about section is new for this year, it was added because people get confused by capping changes due to different registration tiers. As per the registration schedule, World Champion spots would be released April 22 for Amateur Worlds, but there weren't any to release this year ... more

Thomas Hapka   May 24 at 11:25pm

Oh thx! That rings a bell now :)

Tyler Bodiker    May 16 at 8:08pm

Really wish there was more spots so I could play this event. Hoping I'll get in next year and more spots will be available

Get that rating up next year!
