Hey John, is it too late to add 1 supper for each night? FMy sister is joining this weekend, I'll come see you when I arrive to pay for her camping.

You can add that through “edit” on your Pkayers page

Dan Gilbert    August 13 at 8:21pm

Any info on which tees each division will be playing from?

Tobin Izatt   August 14 at 3:36am

Looking for this info too as I will b playing 2 rounds at 1 course and only 1 round for the other course.

Tobin Izatt   August 14 at 3:37am

”times” aren’t worrisome, but curious which course my division will play twice.

Jeremy Kasprick    August 10 at 3:38pm

Would I be able to set up camp at the course on Wednesday? Thanks

All the layouts will be set up after registration closes and we know our final numbers. Thanks

The 28 holes on Sat is just a typo right John?

John Pytel   August 1 at 12:09pm

Totally. Sorry just fixed it.

Philippe Picard   August 9 at 4:03pm

Any news about the events?

Christian Lachance    July 26 at 12:45pm

Pour votre information

Jacob Oosterhoff    July 24 at 6:52pm

Also wondering if the layouts per division have been finalized?

Kelly Morrissey    May 20 at 11:53pm

What layouts will each pool be playing? Is that determined yet? Thanks!

Does anyone know what the camping situation is like? Facilities? Can we show up early in the week and setup camp? Thanks

John Pytel   March 22 at 12:34pm

Camping is like festival camping in an open field. We have some outdoor showers and port-a-potties. No hook ups or anything like that. We'll confirm later when people can arrive but we have a very busy week of preparation and the timing of grass cutting is very important with 4 days of dedicated use for the event.

Jeremy Kasprick   March 22 at 2:30pm

Thanks John

Christian Lachance    March 22 at 2:48am

Je suis aussi d'accord pour jouer au moins 2 ronde par jour les deux premières journées et une ronde la dernière journée. Je comprends que l'on ne pas plaire à tout le monde mais 5 ronde de 18 trous conviendrait à la majorité JF crois.

Randolph, Pierre, and Christian - when was the last event you TD'd? When was the last a-tier you TD'd? When have you ever hosted over 300 people on your property? Seriously guys, there is only so much we can do and we do know what we are doing.

Pierre Boucher    March 22 at 1:34am

I would agree with you Randolf only if it was 2 distinct round. In reality, I would prefer even 2 18 basket round per day but one round of 27? That is what made me hesitate this year to register as I hated last year format.

Jacob Mainville   March 22 at 2:21am

Not sure if it was the same for your division, but there was still an adequate break in the 27-hole round for me.

Chris Hosmar   March 22 at 2:23am

Yea, I had about an hour and a bit break last year after the first 18, before the last 9.

Megan Donovan   March 22 at 4:15am

We had barely enough time to pee in between lol

Are we going to open new places in MA50? It is by far the first complete category…

John Pytel   March 22 at 12:26pm

Yes per the registration schedule and my emails and telling people to register on the waitlist if they want in.

Jody Slade    March 21 at 10:25am

Sorry John can you switch me to MP-50 . I should’ve read the about first my old knees can only handle one round a day

John Pytel   March 22 at 12:38pm

Sure Jody - remind me I owe you $30 or message me and I can send it to you. Cheers.

Jody Slade   March 22 at 9:28pm

Thanks John no worries I’ll grab a disc when I get their

Super pumped! Wanted to play MA40 but I really wanna play more than one round a day, so I’m playing MA1. No biggy, I can hang lol. We’re not that old in our 40’s are we guys lol? Curious how other 40+ peeps feel, would you care to see more than one round per day offered for MA40 next year?

This is a bit of the crux of the matter. Some want golf all day which is hard to accommodate and have a large field and many don’t. Lots of players are not prepared or physically fit for 36 holes. 27 holes per day is very hard to schedule without any breaks. If you break down an event, to ... more

eric lewis   March 22 at 4:17pm

Yeah, weather makes a BIG difference as to how much golf I want to play, and the weather gods have not been kind on Ettyville the last couple of year! :) In an ideal universe (and I realize this may be impossible/impractical from a tournament organizational perspective) I would want to play 2 rou ... more

Adam Ellis   June 4 at 12:57am

Makes sense John. I didn’t think of it like that…I was just thinking that there was more than 18 holes a day for MA40 last year but each years different and there’s a lot to juggle and you certainties do an amazing job trying to keep everyone happy!

Megan Donovan    March 21 at 1:26am

Thank you John! Cant wait :)
