2021 8th Annual Maricopa Open presented by Infinite Discs

Chad Miltenberger How do I get my credit for placing? Infinite guy said check my profile, but I’m not seeing it. Any suggestions? Feb 13, 2021

Joe Judd Feb 13, 2021 You'll need to set up an account on Infinite. Then look for My Gift Cards in the top pull down menu. It's a wonky system.

Jason DeCorte Question.... shouldn’t a 85 score for intermediate have a higher rating than an 85 for Rec ... the coarse for intermediate was harder with mandos and islands? But it’s the opposite? Feb 3, 2021

Ricky Kirkpatrick Feb 3, 2021 ^ Also a 53 for Rec was rated higher than a 53 for Int at Copper Sky on Day 2

Ron Krippner I got on the ace pot list. What’s next? Feb 2, 2021

Robert Cummings III How does the 100% fog affect our rating for those of us that teed off early on Saturday. Does the pdga have a curve for that Sam? Feb 1, 2021

I did not clarify the drop zone for Hole 5 @ Copper Sky. There are 2 drop zone positions (Minis) located in front of the Mando. The design is that if you miss to the right, you play behind the one on ... show more ›

Jeff Jacquart Jan 29, 2021 Why are TDs so mean?

Sam Russ Jan 30, 2021 why are outside TDs worse?

Sam Russ Just to clarify... The FA1 division will be playing the Blues/Longs on both courses. The caddy book was incorrect for Maricopa Meadows course. The only divisions playing Whites/Shorts are MA3, FA3, MA2, FA2, MA55 & MA60. Sorry for the confusion. The Virtual players meeting was correct. Jan 29, 2021

Qiana Kelly Thanks for all the info in the players meeting.. just wanted to ask about parking, drinking water, and restrooms at Meadows. Haven't been there in a long while, and wanted to make sure we follow whatever plan is in place. TIA Jan 28, 2021

Sam Russ Jan 19, 2021 Keith, we followed pdga guidelines regarding refunds. Unfortunately when you withdrew and currently there is no waitlist for MA40.

Keith Wolter Jan 19, 2021 I also withdrew my friend in MA40. I see there is 27 of 28 spots filled now. So shouldn't one of us get a full refund?

Sam Russ Jan 19, 2021 Unless there is a waitlist in that division, then it falls on pdga guidelines which we are following.

LUIS MENDEZ Hello Sam, was a consensus reached on the short or long tee play for MA60? TIA. Jan 18, 2021

Chuck Russ Jan 18, 2021 MA2, FA2, MA55, MA60, MA3 & FA3 play short positions. MA3 & FA3 don't play the added difficulty. Caddy books should be sent out on the 20th

Charles Scott Jan 22, 2021 Any update on the caddy books?

Sam Russ Maricopa Open Players....

For those who haven’t signed up for the ACE pool, you may want to reconsider!!! Currently $1690...

Cash CTP - $595

Only have 8 tee sign sponsors and 3 video sponsors... so for those feeling generous, it’s not too late... Jan 12, 2021

Robert Cummings III Jan 12, 2021 Can I pay ace day of? Or do I have to do it on line? If so how do I pay on line?

Lee Semke Jan 12, 2021 PHX FLT picked up a hole sponsorship!

Sam Russ Jan 13, 2021 Thank you Lee!!! I’ll accept ace and cash CTP at check in. Bring exact change for we won’t have change.

Ron Tiley If a player is registered with the PDGA as a Professional, are they allowed to play in the Amateur Division of a Sanctioned Tournament? Jan 8, 2021

show 5 earlier comments

Sam Russ Jan 9, 2021 https://www.pdga.com/rules/competition-manual/204

[member not found] Jan 11, 2021 So if I'm reading this correct, a professional can earn an unlimited amount of money as long as his rating is below 850? (for AM 60) and here I thought once you take the cash, you're consider a pro

Sam Russ Jan 12, 2021 Just because you have a professional title, doesn't mean you shouldn't be allowed to play in a division you qualify for. Am or Pro.

Joe Judd Will all divisions be playing extra holes at Copper Sky? Hope so! Jan 8, 2021

Charles Scott Jan 12, 2021 So caddies and spectators are allowed?

Sam Russ Jan 17, 2021 Friendly reminder that the park is open to the public. If you stay on the sidewalk you can spectate with no issues to tournament or players.

Chase Chamberlain Are the courses ready to play? I’m going out with my girlfriend for our anniversary next week and plan on practicing copper sky and maricopa meadows. Thanks so much, so exited! Jan 6, 2021

Robert Cummings III Jan 6, 2021 All good except the extra holes at copper

Sam Russ Jan 6, 2021 Some holes will change. Working with park to put temp pole in to show hole location. Hopefully this weekend.

Robert Cummings III I agree thats early Jan 6, 2021

Jav Kowalski Jan 7, 2021 7:30 is fine if you start the youngsters first. lol

Richard Copeland The 7am start seems very early for both Saturday and Sunday, with only one round per day any chance of a later start? Jan 6, 2021

Chris Metz Jan 6, 2021 The description in "About This Tournament" says "T-time Start." I assume that is why it shows 7AM

Sam Russ Jan 6, 2021 730 will be first tee. Have to start that early to get every player done before dark.

Garrett Maddox I just registered and it says there are 2 spots left in MP40 but it put me directly on the waitlist? Jan 3, 2021

Sam Russ Jan 4, 2021 Because the overall is full, but I got you in.

Garrett Maddox Jan 4, 2021 Thank you Sam.

Joe Judd Will MA55 play short tees or long tees? Dec 12, 2020

Sam Russ Dec 13, 2020 I haven’t decided. I’m up for opinions. Last year I believe they played short.

Joe Judd Dec 13, 2020 Yes, MA 50 and up played short. Long pads for aged groups = feeding the carp in the ponds! Well, for some...

Sam Russ Dec 14, 2020 Will definitely put that into consideration!

Cooper Everett Does anyone know why it says I am registered for this tournament for MA2 on pdga? I never registered and I’m confused Nov 28, 2020

Cooper Everett Nov 28, 2020 I just found out why. Zachary Liston has my pdga number put down by mistake. Can that be changed?

Cooper Everett Nov 28, 2020 I found his pdga account and his number is 151968. Not 151986

Chuck Russ Nov 29, 2020 Thank You I also verified his PDGA Number. I already made the change.
