Aug 3

Chad Villegas Aug 3 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

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 ... show more ›

Mike Hughes Aug 2 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) :-)

Chad Villegas I didn’t bring my basket like normal. Where will there be practice baskets available ? Aug 1

Tommy Gunz III Aug 1 Per TD email: Two baskets (for putting) will be set up on the putting green

Armando Cruz I didn't see anything about a dress code, that I recall? Aug 1

Armando Cruz Aug 1 I was assuming so, the only collard shirts I own are work shirts. So I'll most likely wear one of those.

John Scheinpflug Aug 1

Thanks Tommy. Yes, remember we are trying to make a good impression and by the numbers in the tourn ... show more ›

Harvey Brandt Aug 2 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.

John Scheinpflug 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! Aug 1

Chad Villegas Aug 1 Great news & yes I’m excited

Greg Chance 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". Jul 31

Armando Cruz Jul 31 That’s awesome. Thank you!

John Scheinpflug Jul 31 Thanks Greg

Matthew Loos 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 Jul 31

John Scheinpflug Jul 31

Unfortunately, No, the course will not be available for players who are not competing in the tournam ... show more ›

Matthew Loos Jul 31 Understood, thank you!

Jeremy Frost Has anyone tried putting a Zuca cart on the back of a golf cart? Is that a legitimate option, or are backpacks better? Jul 30

show 1 earlier comment

Tom Osterdahl Jul 30 Use a backpack it works the best.

Harvey Brandt Jul 30 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 Jul 30 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 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. Jul 28

Chad Villegas Jul 30 Im on that list correct

John Scheinpflug Jul 30 Correct.

Chad Villegas Jul 30 Thank can’t wait to play.

Gor Sargsyan 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) Jul 27

John Scheinpflug Jul 28 You're in

John Scheinpflug 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. Jul 27

John Scheinpflug Jul 27

John Scheinpflug Everyone that was on the waitlist has been promoted into the tournament - Cheers! Jul 27

Kevin Drossel 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? Jul 27

John Scheinpflug Jul 27 I don't know if there is any line over there. I would have to make a string line or use cones.

Jeff Beickel The caddie book refers to the “manicured” part of the green. Is that referring to the fringe? Jul 26

show 1 earlier comment

Jeff Beickel Jul 26 Thank you Jamie. Looking forward to it!

Tommy Gunz III Jul 26 Will the greens be strung or painted to show a definitive line? I can already forsee arguments on the card hahaha

John Scheinpflug Jul 26 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 Hi, is it possible to add another ma3 spot? Jul 25

John Scheinpflug Jul 26 The spot has been added. Go ahead and sign up.

Jonathan Bo-o Any chance to open up more mpo spots? Jul 25

John Scheinpflug Jul 25

Absolutely! I have no problem opening up spots for those on the waitlist. I will draw from other d ... show more ›

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 quit ... show more ›

Jon Noles Jul 25 That’s awesome.thank you John!,

Shawn Boyd Jul 26 Sounds like I'm doing a practice round now, thanks for arranging this John.

John Scheinpflug Jul 26 A lot more players are going to playing a practice round now.

Eric Graff I signed up for MA40, HOWEVER "IF" you get an opening for MA50 please move me over to the "OLDER" crew. LOL

Eric Graff Jul 24 Cool, thnx

John Scheinpflug Jul 24 check your phone

Eric Graff Jul 24 No dirty pics I hope.. LOL Will check in a bit, getting ready for work.

Max Nichols Any chance you will open up to more mpo players? I just got on the waitlist and would love to play Jul 23

Harvey Brandt Jul 23 My experience is that you will likely get in. Plenty of the "old fogey" divisions will not fill up because they usually take a nap in the afternoons.

John Scheinpflug Jul 24 Your in Max. Thanks for registering.

John Scheinpflug

I know I don't have to do this, but I think every player has the right to know how and where their money is going and being spent. Viewpoint is charging $50. per player for the greens fee (which incl ... show more ›

Jul 21

Jason Roach Jul 21 This is going to be a great event! Thanks for putting it together and being transparent, John.

Tommy Gunz III Jul 21 Thanks for this! Personally as a pro I'd be happier with a bigger payout instead of a disc and raffle tickets, I'm grateful either way! Thanks again

John Scheinpflug

PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO OTHERS: There is no other golf course, in this area, that has even considered doing what Viewpoint has given us the opportunity to accomplish. Some courses let us have a on ... show more ›

Armando Cruz Jul 20 Thank you for doing this. I am planning on signing up, but need to wait a little longer.

Jon Noles Jul 19 John, understand carts are not provided for the practice round, but can we pay a cart fee and use one?

John Scheinpflug Jul 20 Unfortunately, no. He will not have anyone there to issue the carts. That's why they are unavailable.

Mike Hughes

This is a shout-out to all of those signed up and those thinking about it. John has put a lot of work into this event and he is trying to show the owner how popular the game is so he will consider put ... show more ›

Jason Roach Can you move me to MA 50? Jul 10

John Scheinpflug Jul 10 sure will

John Scheinpflug Jul 10 done

John Scheinpflug Remember, even though a division is full, sign up for the waitlist. Other divisions will not fill and I will adjust to accommodate the waitlist Jul 10

Chad Villegas Will my caddie be able to follow day of tournament in a cart or ride with me? How is this shared cart thing going to play out. Jul 5

John Scheinpflug Jul 5 Yes, Your caddy (on tournament day) will either ride with you or have a cart.. Just pay separate for his/her lunch.

John Scheinpflug A revised Caddy Book will be out shortly showing most cart paths safe instead of a hazard.
Jul 5

Tommy Gunz III Jul 6 Don't make it too easy now! haha

John Scheinpflug Jul 8 Still a challenge TG.

Mike Hughes Jul 19 I am grateful for that decision. It makes no sense to me to penalize someone for throwing on a 4' wide piece of concrete that is in the fairway. Thanks John.

John Scheinpflug

UPDATE: GOOD NEWS - Players will be able to play a practice round the day before the tournament (Friday, Aug. 2) anytime after 2pm (up to 7pm). GOOD NEWS - The practice round is FREE. BAD NEWS - Un ... show more ›

Josh Barnum Jul 4 This is great!

Harvey Brandt Jul 4 Wait, even the old folks will have to walk the practice round? Should have read this prior to registering!!!

John Scheinpflug Jul 5 You're in better shape than most young guys and you won World's. You don't need a practice round anyway.

John Scheinpflug I was just informed about this new course in Phoenix called Sunny Slope. If we fill this tournament with the 90 players, Shawn Passmore, Jamie Tellez and myself will be glad to donate all of remaining funds (after all the fees) to the baskets for this new course. Jun 28

Armando Cruz Jun 28 Hell yeah!

Harvey Brandt Jul 1 Is this new course playable yet, or waiting on baskets? Where is this located?

John Scheinpflug Jul 2 Not playable yet. In Phoenix. Don't know cross streets.

Josh Barnum Hi! Will the Caddie book layout be used for ALL divisions? This event looks awesome! Jun 8

John Scheinpflug Jun 9 Josh, we might make one tee pad longer for the Pros. Other than that one hole, yes, everyone will tee from the same.

John Scheinpflug Jamie created the Caddy book. Shawn, Jamie and I were on the course for 5 hours creating the layout. Jun 7

Chubby Killough Jun 7 The layout looks awesome. Thanks for putting this together.

John Scheinpflug We are working on getting a practice round scheduled. Remember, this is a pop-up course, so it might not be feasible. Jun 7

Armando Cruz Jun 8 What portable baskets will be used for this tournament?

Jon Noles Agree with Roger. The caddy book is great! Will there be any opportunity for a practice round on this layout? Jun 6

John Scheinpflug Jun 9

Unfortunately, no, there will be no practice round. It will be a surprise for everyone. We feel th ... show more ›

Roger Rahill John, AWESOME caddy book shows cool diverse layout. Great job! Jun 6

John Scheinpflug Jun 9 Jamie gets the credit for the caddy book. It took some time to create and it is AWESOME!

Tom Osterdahl John it won't let me get past the caddie lunch. There's no option for no caddie. Jun 5

John Scheinpflug Jun 5 Try it now Tom

Jamie Tellez Jun 5 That should be fixed now.

Shawn Boyd Are the green fees charged by the course so high to jack the price up to 150, or is some of the entry money going towards actual course establishment? Knowing this might help some decide if they want to fork over that amount of cash. Jun 2
