For real. Winning am2 by 13 strokes with 1000 rated rounds? If you play like that what are you so scared of to moving up to am1?

Matt Oller   June 15, 2015 at 11:21am

I believe AM 2 played from shorter tee pads than the pro's...

Chris Leo   June 15, 2015 at 12:53pm

Great pictures Matt! Thank you for doing that. MA2 played Long/Short.

Dwayne Kay    June 15, 2015 at 5:14pm

Special thanks to everyone who donated baskets for supplemental holes and long/short pin placements, as well the folks schlepped the baskets all the way out to those locations.

As for the weather: first DGLO, then this....it better not rain for Gale Vaughn.

I lost my game sumwhere between hole 1 and 24 would really love to have it back

Jay B   June 15, 2015 at 12:20pm

I did find the mercy, no fuse....didnt find the blue champ eagle, or brents game...there was a kid who jumped and started looking for a disc, his name was zach larson..? He found a couple i think, he was walking down stream as I was walking upstream so it was making the water dirty and hard to see anything

Brandon Redmond   June 15, 2015 at 9:22pm

Awesome jay. I think I'm gonna be by brys tomorrow briefly to drop a disc or two off. I'll grab it from you then. Round 5?

Bart Kowalewski    June 15, 2015 at 4:25am

Left a pink destroyer on hole 2. Someone picked it up. My names on it. Reward if you got it.

After a long day at the park painting baskets and tee pads, here is an image of the course for tomorrow.
I can say that for those playing Holes D and F, I would highly encourage your group sending a designated spotter, these holes have not been mowed and are extremely rough.

We have enough copies of this for everyone playing tomorrow.

Joe Levell   June 13, 2015 at 9:45pm

Thank u for your time & hard work !

John Minicuci    June 14, 2015 at 3:51am

For all who are asking about the wait list. Please read the 1st sentence in the "About" section.
While I did not delete any posts I can tell you that no wait list ever solved anything.
If you are at the course and there is a spot open, then you can get on the wait list.
We spend too many hours deleting, removing, adding players in a tournament.

Pretty sure that Werdum will win after The Rock rushes the octogan with a steel chair and hits Vaslasquez. The referee being destracted ringside by Ronda Rousey never sees it.

Adam Geise   June 14, 2015 at 6:13am

So you're saying there's a chance....

Chris Leo   June 14, 2015 at 11:05am

Still had open spots available.

Elijah Wykes    June 14, 2015 at 3:18am

I love how my comment was deleted even though I was the first to ask to be on the wait list! Why is that?

Ok just wanted to play the event, not drive an hour to not play. Oh well thanks anyway.

Chris Leo   June 13, 2015 at 10:06pm

You can always try your luck by being one for the first ones there, it appears there already are two spots that are open. The wait list starts the day of the tournament, I can't blame you for not wanting to drive a hour and not get in.

Elijah Wykes   June 14, 2015 at 8:04am

Yeah I just figured there'd be a wait list for out of towers for when people drop out. No worries

Joe Altizer    June 14, 2015 at 1:39am

Any spots avail?

mike herbst    June 13, 2015 at 11:39pm

Is there any open spots?

DJ Robert Navarre    June 13, 2015 at 8:45pm

I am no longer able to play.
If I was on the waitlist please take me off.
Something came up, sorry.
It was an emergency

I think you get player pack only with short notice like this?

Brandon Redmond   June 13, 2015 at 12:52pm

Darren is right. Per pdgs, within a week to the event you can't get a refund, but you do get everything owed to you in your player pack.

Brian "DGFC" Evans   June 13, 2015 at 9:57pm

Ug, well in that case.....I might see ya'll tomorrow....
