Stony Creek Open - Pro's

Jeff Bauman

The short answer is Yes

Marshall Brown

What’s the long answer?

Jeff Bauman

Players kind of frown on other players playing in divisions that they may not be able to complete in but… MPO means everyone so… yes!

Marshall Brown

I would only play because stony is my favorite course and I know it very well. I wouldn’t expect to win of course but there is a home field advantage to a degree

Jeff Bauman

Well you are absolutely allowed to play in MPO my friend and I’m sure everyone will be happy to add your $100 to the purse!

Marshall Brown

Exactly, I will gladly give Marwede $100 hahaha

Jeff Bauman

Yessir!

Aaron Nitz

Brian-don’t move just yet. I’m trying to get clearance to make it that day.

Brian Sweet

That would be great!

Brian Sweet

Looking to push for a couple more to sign up for mp40. So far 2 of us signed up Mark and myself.

Aaron Nitz

I’m in!

Colin Hinde

I'll fill up the first card. four more out there?

Brian Sweet

Heck yeah! This will be fun. Looking forward to meeting some new people

Zachary Petzel

I’d like to see MA1 move over to sudnay

Skyler Stoker

Once the open field has a solid chance to register. Don't stress Jeffy knows what he is doing.

Skyler Stoker

A lot of open guys wait until the weekend before to register.

Michael McGinnis

Some people in AM1 cant play sunday...

Jeff Bauman

We want to get as many pros as possible. At least a dozen pros couldn’t sign up last year cause we’re filled with ams and had a waitlist that went more that 30 deep.

Alex Baker

Having a waitlist on one day and 44 spots open on a other day does not really scream "this guy knows what he's doing"...or maybe it's because he knows exactly what he's doing. At least there's more people for Marwede to beat this year though.

Michael Forton

I've been around long enough to know one person can't decide to fate of many and this isn't a social media site th rag on people this is a legitimate site thank you for doing what you do Jeff Bauman keep Sunday open so the pros can fly through that course with no interruptions

Skyler Stoker

Alex your frustrations do not make sense as you are complaining about not being able to get into an event that is being run by the person that you are saying does not know what they are doing. There are plenty of tournaments that cater to Ams every weekend. You are welcome to sign up in open.

Alex Baker

This is literally the only sanctioned tournament that is hosted by Stony Creek during the year, so apologies for being frustrated when not being able to get into it. I know I am not alone, and I understand that you don't care.

Skyler Stoker

I do care up until the point you start disrespecting people for the effort they are putting in to run a two day event and make as many people happy as possible. It would be awesome if everyone got to play in every tournament they wanted to but it has NEVER worked like that.

Alex Baker

Listen, I completely understand why the tournament is being done this way. I competed in this event last year, and it was filled up within a day or so of reg being open. This was changed to let the AMs have the whole day to themselves and let the pros sign up on the second day to let more pros in. ... more

This was changed to let the AMs have the whole day to themselves and let the pros sign up on the second day to let more pros in. I can understand that, BUT when you see that there are waitlisted people and more than enough spots on the second day to facilitate those people, it seems very contentious to exclude their participation in the effort of preserving a Pro only day.

Brian Sweet

Every year there are am only A-tiers in michigan. It's good to finally see it work the other way occasionally too. Side note I would've loved to sign up for tour events but rating isn't high enough to not be on a wait list and still not ever get in. That's just how it is.

Michael McGinnis

Hard to take Alex's comments seriously when he didnt even sign up to be on the waitlist in the division he would like to play.

Tim Sylvain

Mike, maybe he didn't want to be #20 on the waitlist?

Michael McGinnis

Maybe, but that waitlist has changed a lot in the past month. The top comment on this thread is a month old.

Alex Baker

I was actually #5 on the waitlist for over 2 months before I committed to travelling elsewhere as it seemed the waitlist was going nowhere. The waitlist has changed a lot, but there is no way I could have predicted that, especially when the TD is manually adding people to the tournament when people drop (see the AM side comments).

Jeff Bauman

Around 9. We’ll post the schedule in the next couple weeks..
