Current lightning delay restart is 2:10?

Colin Rice   July 8, 2023 at 6:19pm

Any word on updated tee times then?

Ryan Lindsay    July 8, 2023 at 12:12am

I noticed hole 4 is a par 3 in the current pin position for shorts. Is that correct?

Chris Acquista   July 8, 2023 at 1:19am

Correct

Will we be using pdga live scoring? If so what’s the password?

I would also assume we are since it's a PDGA C tier but didn't see the event code in the caddy guide.

Thomas Wimbish   July 8, 2023 at 1:06am

I just took a guess on the app and tower23 seemed to work

Chris Acquista   July 8, 2023 at 1:20am

Yes, tower23

Matthew Krick    July 7, 2023 at 4:48pm

Sent an email as well, was wondering if I would be able to move to a 2:30-3pm tee time? (Currently at 3:30PM). Thanks much!

What exactly is meant by areas surrounded by white paint? Holes 2 3 7. Are they Painted circle islands or bunkers?

Chris Acquista   July 7, 2023 at 3:51am

For holes 2 and 3 there is a large island of trees between the holes, the whole thing is OB, it has a line and flags around it. For hole 7 it is a grass bunker.

Joe Parker   July 7, 2023 at 11:36am

Trees on the left of hole 2, right of hole 3, then the big bunker hole in the ground once you get out of the woods on hole 7.

matthew moore    July 7, 2023 at 2:30am

so we just show up at the tee time by our name and start on hole 1? also is the tee times the second day based on our placements from the first day? just curious never been in anything that wasnt a shotgun start. thanks in advanced! looking forward to playing!

Andrew Adkins   July 7, 2023 at 3:09am

Yes you will start on hole one at your tea time. Please arrive early to check in with TD before you are tee time. Your tee time for round two will be based on how you play and finish within your division

matthew moore   July 7, 2023 at 3:49am

awesome! thanks again!

Chris Acquista    July 7, 2023 at 1:52am

Tee Times are up. They may change as people drop.

I’m on the MA2 waitlist but there’s an open spot in MA1. Can I just take the MA1 spot if I can’t get into MA2?

Chris Acquista   July 7, 2023 at 3:57am

You got into MA2

Dennis Miller   July 7, 2023 at 3:29pm

I’m currently #2 on the waitlist for ma4. If there ends up not being space for me, will my registration fees be refunded? Also, could I still come take part in the raffles? Lol I need that new bag bad. Mine only holds fifteen lol

I sadly have to drop out of this tournament. I have injured my lower back and have intense pain when bending, twisting and turning. How do I cancel my registration. John Ross PDGA # 185262
