Glad you dig it! I went with a very player focused model for this event - wanted the $$ your spending to go back to you! As per all of the events we have run, we do it at break-even cost (or a loss to us) in the name of getting you good value:)

Aloysius Dean   September 12 at 1:42pm

Best player package i have ever got that's for sure!

Chris Fox   September 13 at 8:38pm

Got to echo these guys!! Thanks for the awesome players packs!!

Matt Mann    September 11 at 9:42pm

What are the chances of getting into this tournament? Will any more from the waitlist be added?

A and B Pools:

This year, we will be splitting players up into 2 pools - playing a few alternate pads, alternate pars, and alternate OB regulations, depending on the pool you are in.

This should go a long way towards:
More accurate ratings for all players.
More challenging layout for higher rated players

Please read the caddy book clearly on each hole - noting which pads you are playing / which OB /mandos / hazards are in play for your pool.

A-Pool - Ma1 & MA2

Just sent out this email to you all, but if you missed it...

Greetings, One and All -

We're 7 days away from Day 1 of the 26th Annual Creekside Open.

It is an absolute honor to be running one of (if not the) longest tenured events in the state of Utah - and I cannot wait for it to arrive. 26 years - that's some amazing history! I hope you're as excited as we are.

Updates / Notes:
Waitlisters - I'm including you on this email in case you get in!

CREEKSIDE BASKETS MOVED INTO AM WEEKEND POSITIONS. Notes: Temp baskets on 8, 16, A, B, C are not there, and will not be until day of event. I placed them in some fun spots on the main layout. Hole 10 plays to 12A and is a ton of fun. Ams - MA1 / MA2 have a few different tee pad positions to help with ratings / keeping it fun for all. Notes are on the layouts.

Full Layouts added into UDisc for Am AND Pro weekend Day 1 & 2. Still need to add some positions / shuffle some things around so t ... more

CREEKY UPDATE:

CSO AM Weekend Day 1 Layout is in approval process on UDisc and I will be headed out to move baskets this morning. Please note that there are 3 temp holes (A / B / C) in this layout that will not be installed until the day of the event - but I have included them as locations on the UDisc Layout for you to practice the shots. There are also 2 Temp Positions (Hole 8 to top of hill, Hole 16 to Back right Corner) that are on the layout for day 1 but will NOT be installed until day ... more

Basically 14 people would have to drop from the tournament for you to get in.

Mandie Chamberlain   August 21 at 6:40pm

It looks like some might have dropped off the waitlist that signed up after you. That would be why no movement yet.

Benjamin Marolf   August 29 at 6:17pm

Yes to the above answers - it's all based on when folks signed up. And some folks dropped from the waitlist - only a few from the event so far.

Derik thomas    August 11 at 10:56pm

Is it possible to register in ma40 then do mp40 the following week?

Benjamin Marolf   August 12 at 1:58am

Sure! You’re welcome to play both weekends

Benjamin Marolf    August 6 at 4:54am

Apologies to a few of you who may have received an email from DGScene about being added only to see you’re still on the waitlist- the site glitched and added 6 players after a refund was issued for 1 player - it should be all set now.

I was number one for MA2 and I got bumped down to number three :/

Benjamin Marolf   August 12 at 1:58am

Responding to all these - the system went nuts on me. I reset everybody to where they were based on date and time they signed up - so it’s all square.

Benjamin Marolf   August 12 at 2:00am

In effect - everything is now how it should have been before - and folks will get off the waitlist based on when they signed up. It’s all set to go - sorry for any confusion.

David McCullough    July 25 at 3:36pm

Can I be moved to 50+ please.

Bingo!
