And I'll kick off this forum with a discussion topic: Of the 6 courses that are being used what course do you want to play most and why?

 

[jchoate7]

I for one cant wait to play Heritage Hills. Well over 10,000 ft in length and a true par 72. Lots of elevation and some water hazards come into play.

What courses are we going to play? I'm from Philly and have only played Muddy run out there. I'm also going to be 50 next year. Will they be making us play shorter layouts?

The website listed below has a list of the courses.

I am heading out that way this fall to check out the courses. I am pretty excited.

 

[NathanNoodleArm]

Duh! I only went to the Facebook page and there was no information there.

Muddy Run is a fantastic course. Hoping to qualify for this, it's only 4 hours away.

Heritage isn't on the site, wonder why. Heard good things from some locals though.

How many player?

It was great to have a full Sr grandmaster pool in Charlotte.

Will 2019 worlds accommodate as many players?

What are the chances of getting in without enough qualifying points? Winning local tournaments was nice but not good enough to get enough points. I wish there was a way to qualify with ratings or something for people who don't have the flexibility to travel to the huge point getting am tourneys!

Typically toward the middle of June registration opens up to "all Amateur PDGA members." Whether there will be space in your division at that time is a matter of conjecture.

course construction at Codorus

I made my first trip to Codorus Twp Park and Codorus State Park (Red and Blue course) on Fri 19th. The Twp Park course was in good shape and doesn't look like much is needed for Am Worlds. The State Park Red course is under construction (new cement tee pads) and a sign at #1 reads "course closed, play Blue course". The Blue course has a new unfinished tee pad in for #5, but is open and playable (for now). A local player there told me new baskets will soon be installed.

When does registration open for people who have qualified? Does it open to higher rated players first? I have enough points for MA1 but my rating isn't super high (935). Hoping I have a chance to register before it fills.

 

[nightmoose47]

It's pretty much a free for all at 12:00am on the reg date. First come first serve for the qualified.

Agreed. We showed capable as a group to fill a pool. Anything less wouldn't be observant of our age group..

When do the actual tournament dates get set?

This is the current information on how registration works. You may have already seen this. There are no dates, as to when registration opens.....yet.

As an update to the courses, Kline's Run and both Codorus Red and Blue will be receiving Prodigy baskets before Worlds.

Kline's Run?

Kline's Run?

New course being put in right on the river in Wrightsville. The York County Disc Golf Club is putting it in. I think it's mostly playable aside from teepad construction.
