Hey Sully. I'm off the waitlist and trying to pay but it won't let me through registration because there's no tee time slots available

Same

Mike Sullivan   March 22, 2021 at 7:27pm

Okay, let me get home and see what's up.

Dave Truitt    March 18, 2021 at 2:25pm

If anyone wants to switch tee times with me (3pm) I would love to play earlier in the day.

Justin Crawford   March 18, 2021 at 2:56pm

This would be excellent for me.

Dave Truitt   March 18, 2021 at 5:11pm

Thanks!!!

Justin Crawford    March 17, 2021 at 2:20am

If anyone wants to switch tee times with me (9:20AM) for something later, I'm open to it.

Billy Martin would not be impressed at your reluctance to use the double switch.

Mike Sullivan   March 18, 2021 at 4:27pm

I love the double switch as much as I hate the DH. I'm just not sure we need a pitching change.

Justin Crawford   March 18, 2021 at 6:58pm

Shoulda managed the Rays this year then.

Ben Adinolfi    March 15, 2021 at 11:50am

May I drop down to MA3 please

Mike Sullivan   March 15, 2021 at 12:57pm

Can do!

Trevor Okonski    March 11, 2021 at 5:10pm

I'm in general division. So when would I expect to tee off. And is there camping on premises

Mike Sullivan   March 12, 2021 at 2:23pm

Hi, Trevor! The division you registered for is just to have a player pack disc shipped to you. It looks like your rating would put you squarely in MA3. Would you like to be moved to the waitlist?

Dale E Baynes    March 10, 2021 at 1:56pm

Mike i am having to bail after finally getting off the alternate list but I am being shipped out of town that week . Thank you for your patience

Thanks for letting me know, Dale!

requesting to be moved to the 3:20 slot

Request granted.

Eric Johnson   March 9, 2021 at 12:39am

thank you!

Christopher White    March 5, 2021 at 5:20pm

Sorry for the inconvenience but I will need to withdraw from this tournament. Thank you in advance!

Thanks again Sully ( just need to take my name from being listed twice - can remove the William Hunter and B.H. will remain) look forward to some good weather ...maybe

Nicholas Cellini    February 23, 2021 at 12:36pm

I'm currently on the wait list and listed under MA2. If somebody drops and I get in, I'm sure you'll notice, but I'd have to play MA1 due to my rating.

Mike Sullivan   February 23, 2021 at 5:13pm

Thanks for the heads-up. I've adjusted your division.

Tommy Barber    February 19, 2021 at 6:40am

Hi!
I recently got off the waitlist but unfortunately I am going to have to withdraw from the tournament. Thanks!

Because there is significantly more daylight available in April, I have expanded the field.

Is April 3 the set and stone I have another tourney that day

Mike Sullivan   February 10, 2021 at 8:59pm

Yes, that's going to be the day.

Bobby Akowskey   February 11, 2021 at 12:02am

Ok thank you

Mike Sullivan    February 10, 2021 at 6:18pm

CWG calling for some mix of snow, ice, sleet, and freezing rain on Saturday.

Any chance of ice forming during play is too high a chance.

Accordingly, we will postpone GYROscope #1: Shoot the Gap (Ice Bowl Fundraiser #5) until Saturday, April 3, 2021.

If you cannot make the new date, we will provide you with a refund, but if I were you, I would err on the side of staying registered for now, as I don't anticipate demand for this event to be lower in April than it is in February.

It's an Ice Bowl fundraiser event, technically :) But yes, Clark's Run has steep elevation and ice could result in serious player injury on the course, let alone the roads. I understand that Zach is running the White Rose that day, but it's the best I could do in terms of rescheduling.

Frank Summers   February 11, 2021 at 5:28pm

I agree. Walking down from 15’s tee, in particular, it is easy to slip. Several other slopes that would be decent sledding hills as well.

Mike Sullivan   February 11, 2021 at 7:52pm

Someone slipping and falling off the "cliff" on 10 was particularly horrifying to me.

Mike Sullivan    February 9, 2021 at 2:45pm

I just sent out the following email to all players and waitlisters:

All;

I am monitoring the weather closely. Currently, the National Weather Service is calling for us to receive 6-8" of snow between now and Saturday. While I am confident the roads will be treated and plowed, my concerns are:

*Parking. I doubt the parking area will be plowed, and if it is, the grass areas where we stick cars will not be cleared.

*Safety. The course has lots of elevation, and slick conditions ... more

I assume you mean Saturday March 6.

Mike Sullivan   February 9, 2021 at 2:49pm

No, I mean April 3. My bad.

Frank Summers   February 9, 2021 at 6:08pm

Thank you for advance notice and open communication.

Chris Bleiler    February 9, 2021 at 5:10am

How early before our tee time are we allowed to show up? Will there be room/space to warm up on the scattersville course

Permalink
Mike Sullivan   February 9, 2021 at 5:22am

I will have this in an email in a day or two, but I would like people to show up no earlier than 30 minutes before their tee time. You will be able to warm up on Scattersville.

Christopher White    February 3, 2021 at 4:30am

Hey there, unfortunately I have to drop out of this tournament. Thanks in advance!

Sorry you will miss it!

Joe Dweck    February 1, 2021 at 2:09pm

Hi I’m no longer able to make that weekend. Can you refund me? Thanks!

Daniel Hatfield    January 27, 2021 at 3:09am

32 people on the wait list! So, since it’s a fundraiser maybe next year do an auction for spots?

Mike Sullivan   January 27, 2021 at 3:32am

We could fill a percentage with donors under PDGA regs. Not a bad idea for this one.

Hawk Corrick    January 19, 2021 at 8:07pm

Mounce is on your waitlist twice.

Mike Sullivan   January 19, 2021 at 8:26pm

Good eye. Thanks.

Hawk Corrick   January 19, 2021 at 10:03pm

I am here to help.

Daniel Hatfield   January 27, 2021 at 3:08am

Twice the chances to get in!

Chris Hunckler    January 11, 2021 at 9:23pm

Hey Sully sent a message on FB about my status. Thanks.
