**COURSE UPDATE**

I just walked the course, and despite the storm, the course has held up pretty well! There are naturally a lot of small branches scattered around, but we hope to have tees, fairways, and greens clear of most of these by Saturday.

There are some large trees down on holes 6, 7, and 8, but these do not affect the fairway or the standard flight to the green. They are, however, blocking typically walking paths. Park staff and volunteers will be working to clear them by Saturd ... more

Hey Ryan
Great looking tournament! Looks like I'm wait listed as 69 +1. Is that too allow another division to register within amateur given the B tier? Thanks for all your work.

No it means that you are on the wait list. The "70th" person your seeing is being made up by the single junior player who signed up. They have to join another card/division to make a full card

Ryan Hutchings   October 2 at 7:46pm

Andrew Adkins is correct. DGS listed junior divisions as "+". The amateur pool is currently full with 70 players. You are first on the waitlist, which means if any amateur player drops out, you will be the first to replace them.

If anyone has not signed up because of the PDGA membership requirements, remember that if you sign up from today, your PDGA membership is good for the remainder of 2024, as well as all of 2025!

Yep it just let me me, thanks! Never had to do that before so I didn't know I could do it.

Cody Bruce   October 1 at 4:00pm

Also if it comes down to it I can play MPO if it's either that or not being able to play

Ryan Hutchings   October 1 at 5:20pm

If you switch to MPO now, you will definitely get in as there are spots available.

How'd the course fair with the storms moving through?

There is a huge tree down on hole 8 in the middle of the fairway.

Ryan Hutchings   October 1 at 11:41am

Brent, we will take a look at it and work on getting it cleared up!

Brent Rosen   October 1 at 4:40pm

Thank you Ryan!

Logan Hines    September 30 at 6:48pm

Is there a chance I make it in on the waitlist if it does not fill up? or will I just have to wait for someone in the MA field to drop? Thanks for running this tournament again this year enjoyed it last year!

Logan, tomorrow afternoon I will be merging the amateur pools, so if the spots in the Women's, Junior, or Master's pool do not get taken by tomorrow afternoon, those on the waitlist will automatically fill the remaining spots.

Logan Hines   October 1 at 3:04am

Thank you sir for the response!

Ryan Hutchings   October 1 at 3:10am

No problem!

Garrett Maddox    September 30 at 12:47pm

Any chance a few pros on the waitlist can get the bump? I’d love to play in Chillicothe again!

I just registered. Could I please get a copy of that email?

Ryan Hutchings   September 30 at 1:26pm

I just sent it over!

Brandon Crace    September 18 at 1:19pm

All divisions play the same layout?

Ryan Hutchings   September 18 at 1:34pm

Correct! In the case of strong winds, lower divisions may play a shortened version of hole 14, but we will try to avoid that!

Ryan Hutchings    August 3 at 3:46am

Full registration is now open!!
