Amazing tournament & course! I hope this comes back yearly going forward.
Greg Wood August 3 at 2:27am
Thank you John, nice to play and get a feel of the course. Nice layout nice course.
John Scheinpflug August 3 at 1:29am

That’s so sic. I know I had a great day and the staff was so supportive and friendly. It’s going to be a super exciting 2 rounds tomorrow.
John Scheinpflug August 2 at 5:01pm
The course is now set up. Thanks for the great work crew. Jack Selleh, Jordan Hicks, Shawn Passmore, Jamie Tellez, David Swangler, Chubby and Jon Noles. There will be a string line on the tee boxes running from red ball marker to red ball marker. Also, on hole 17, the gunite is good. Surrounded by water is O.B. Enjoy the practice round.

A huge THANK YOU to John and all of the volunteers who helped out today! After the event, I'm buying drinks for all of you!! (Chubby gets his favorite non-alcoholic beverage) :-)

I didn’t bring my basket like normal. Where will there be practice baskets available ?

Per TD email: Two baskets (for putting) will be set up on the putting green

I didn't see anything about a dress code, that I recall?
Armando Cruz

I was assuming so, the only collard shirts I own are work shirts. So I'll most likely wear one of those.

Thanks Tommy. Yes, remember we are trying to make a good impression and by the numbers in the tournament, we have already done that. This is a golf course (even though only a C-Tier) please dress accordingly.

PDGA.com should have information on appropriate dress. At PDGA Master's Worlds it was no cotton tee shirts but performance fabrics (dry-fit, etc) were fine. Collars were not required.

Good Morning to All, I have a final meeting with the golf course today. Afterwards, I will post hole assignments on PDGA. I will send an email late afternoon. Get excited!

FYI, I added the course and layout shown in the caddie book to Udisc in case people want to use it. Since this is a private course and event, the course is not shown on the map, but you can find it by searching "Viewpoint Golf Course".

Hello - Any chance the practice round on Friday will be available to non-tournament players? Would love to check the course out but unfortunately couldn't do the tournament
John Scheinpflug
July 31 at 12:38am
Unfortunately, No, the course will not be available for players who are not competing in the tournament. The reason: We only have a three hour window (from 2pm-5pm) with the last card going out at 5pm. If half of the players brought a friend or if others not in the tournament were to play, then the ... more

Has anyone tried putting a Zuca cart on the back of a golf cart? Is that a legitimate option, or are backpacks better?
Tom Osterdahl Harvey Brandt

I put my Zuca on a cart during the Las Vegas Open. Wasn't great. Took up a lot of space and tended to lean backwards where discs could drop out. Like Tom says, backpack.
John Scheinpflug
July 30 at 6:19pm
Since there will be two players on a cart for most carts, I would highly recommend using a backpack so there is room for both players.
John Scheinpflug July 28 at 6:14am
We have reached our limit on the carts for the caddy for tournament day. This was first come-first serve. Those who have requested one are good. There are no more available.
Gor Sargsyan July 27 at 11:58pm
I'm currently waitlisted for MA3 and I see the registration closes soon. If no spots open up before the event, can I placed be into one of the open spots in MA1? (Definitely would prefer MA3 though)
John Scheinpflug July 27 at 10:23pm
CORRECTION: We are setting up the course for the practice round on Friday, August 2nd at
7 am. (I think I might have said August 1st.). The practice round is on Friday, August 2nd from
2 pm to 7 pm.
John Scheinpflug July 27 at 8:54pm
John Scheinpflug July 27 at 2:45am
Everyone that was on the waitlist has been promoted into the tournament - Cheers!
Kevin Drossel July 27 at 2:26am
Caddie Book hole 18 - driving range would most certainly be OB but is not actually noted "OB" in red, as was carefully done throughout? Could lead to disputes?
John Scheinpflug
July 27 at 2:29am
I don't know if there is any line over there. I would have to make a string line or use cones.
Jeff Beickel July 26 at 2:49am
The caddie book refers to the “manicured” part of the green. Is that referring to the fringe?
Jamie Tellez Tommy Gunz III
July 26 at 3:53pm
Will the greens be strung or painted to show a definitive line? I can already forsee arguments on the card hahaha
John Scheinpflug
July 26 at 7:59pm
The greens are defined enough to know that the disc is either in or out. If it's that close, it's a card decision.
Donald Hawk July 25 at 9:58pm
Hi, is it possible to add another ma3 spot?
Jonathan Bo-o July 25 at 5:05am
Any chance to open up more mpo spots?
John Scheinpflug
July 25 at 4:30pm
Absolutely! I have no problem opening up spots for those on the waitlist. I will draw from other divisions that have not filled. As long as you understand, right now, you will be on a mixed (division) card. Hopefully, that changes. I do like to keep divisions together as much as possible.
John Scheinpflug July 25 at 2:48am
THE BEST NEWS...I have talked with Management today and WE WILL have carts for the practice round. The round will still be free, however, there will be a $10 (per person) charge for a cart. I'm quite sure there won't be a problem paying that minimal amount because I don't think anyone wants to walk that course. The hours set aside for our practice round is from 2pm - 7pm.
The carts MUST be returned by 7pm. If you have any holes left to play and it's 7pm, STOP PLAYING and ...

Sounds like I'm doing a practice round now, thanks for arranging this John.
I agree Armando. Kudos to John, Shawn and Jamie for putting on a great event. I've been to 12 tournaments in the last 9 months, included Masters Worlds, and this was the best trophy presentation/raffle of all of them!!!
