The players pack for the AM side of the Vibram Open (VibrAM) this year looks pretty good, even if the cost to play is $75. It is a 3 day event over 2 courses and the last day you play Maple Hill Golds (8215ft, 1010 rating) right before the pros start (if you make the cut after day 2).

Four Vibram golf discs
2012 Vibram Open Vest
Vibram Open / Hyland Orchard pint glass
Maple Hill and Hyland Orchard free day of play pass
Two Player Parties, Buffet

I'd say the "value" is close to double the entry fee.

There are still open spots:

2012:
It's gonna be good

Along with a great player's pack, we have also secured a $1500* ace pot, and there will be a $100*/hole final 9 skins game for the top 4 scores in the event. Tourney reg is filling fast. It's August 25-26 and it's an A-Tier for MA1 & FA1, B-Tier for other divisions.

Yes. Consider the options...You have an outdoor sports store as your event sponsor that is willing to throw down $1500 in merch for anything in their store (discs, kayaks, camping gear, clothing, etc) for an ace. Or you don't have an acepot. Does that make more sense?

i guess that makes sense. but i wouldnt call it an acepot. and i wouldnt say it with $$$. prob should say gift certificate to "insert name here" if you hit an ace. if no ace is hit is there a throw off? also, I have never heard of merch skins. thats interesting. also, dont say its because its an am only event. Ams can win cash in Ace Pots/ CTPS.

Frolffiend,

Thank you for your input. As for the skins, it's the same gig as the acepot and is being provided entirely by our gracious sponsor, Next Adventure Outdoor Sports. If you have any further issues/comments feel free to PM me. I'm not much of a forum junkie and have no desire to get into a long discussion here.

Cheers,
Ryan Gwillim

I honestly can't remember which has been the best. I'm one of the people that would rather see great players packs for everyone and trophy only ams payout.
