2013 Am Worlds, Emporia, KS

Sean - play Worlds dude!
If you haven't played Ottawa, you should at least check it out. It's not bad, not great, but not bad.

There is also a C-tier in Salina July 2nd.

That c-tier in salina is on a tuesday? Been wanting to play that course. I might look into that and see if I can make it work with my schedule.

Scarpfish, thanks for doing this. Very helpful. Some questions:
- On Jones West are the blue circles long baskets? If so, is #18 the only one that corresponds to the Worlds course map on DD's site?

I think I did them that way, but there might be an exception or two.

What is the red circle on #16?

There is a third super short position on that hole, but I've seldom seen it used.

What is par on the Worlds set-up?
- On Jones East what is Worlds par?

You will have to consult the map on the DD site for this info. I personally don't see JE set as a 64.

On Peter Pan would it be possible to get circles showing pin locations?

Yeah, I uploaded those a week or two ago and I knew I forgot to add something. Lemme see what I can do.

Its actually on Saturday the 6th (the day before Worlds week) if that matters.

Thanks.

The 64 par listed for Jones East is the par for the "gold" layout. The course from the long tees which is what it's set up for now plays as a par 61. Pretty sure that's how it was for the GBO too but I gave my player's book to an out of towner a while back.

Peter Pan Park photos have now been "circlefied".

And after Worlds, I may have to have the gallery nuked again since I see hole signs are going in.

Rough playing at Jones west today. Hot and mildly humid with a light breeze. Played for the shade but did long pins. 29 on the front nine and then I ran out of water.

Anybody know when the pool designations (for Adv, obviously) will be announced? I would like to know what days I'm playing twice and what my course order is. Thanks.

 

[spaceguy87]

When do they post what pool we are in for advanced?

 

[Fluty]

probably next week sometime, I doubt anyone has insider information, be patient.

I've been patient for 3 months!

Just kidding... mostly.

 

[Fluty]

I know, it's real tough, especially being 10 days away, but I'm sure they have to make sure registration is complete so they only have to so jt once.

 

[Rob Martin]

I'm so anxious it is unhealthy!

I would expect it to be:
A: Top 72 rated.
B: Middle 72 rated.
C: Bottom 72 rated.

But thats at most an educated guess. I have no affiliation to the tournament crew.

Pretty good guess thats what i assume

 

[Rob Martin]

I have no affiliation either.

I would guess they are randomized for day 1 and 2 and then Flighted after Wednesday night Shuffle. Us old farts in MM1 just get to play together each and every day.

Three more work days after today and off for 11 days straight. This is going to be freaking awesome. I think I may cry.

 

[jasz]

Old farts ;-) guess i am one of those

Cant wait to get over and play... Just a 12 hour flight, and some jetlag, then i am ready ;-)

See some of you next saturday to some training sessions

Fight back those tears. If you win a title with that red yeti pro I'm going to need a percentage. :|

Percentage of what? You want him to break you off a piece of his trophy?
