I was wondering why so many top pros skip this A-tier event?

Plus the Prodigy trio of Catrina, Sarah, and Paige. No Val, it looks like. Unless she's a late entry.

Many of the pros play the GCC in Vegas, then swing over to AZ for the Memorial the following week.

Looks like a pretty decent list of big names to me.

i think its a question of finances. i would imagine alot of pros who have "stationary" jobs skip on that tourny so they can go to memorial and other bigger tourns.

personally tho....for some reason, I want to play the GCC more than the Memorial. idk why

 

[AaronMonier18]

My bad. When I was on PDGA I was looking at the AM weekend.

It tells you something about the Events in Vegas when you go from playing 30-40 Events a year to 12 last year (6 my own Events) and only 6 this year (2 my own Events) that 2 of them each year are in Vegas (GCC since 2nd year and Halloween Classic since 1999)!!!

This will be the first year since 1999 that I won't be playing the Bob West / Memorial Event.

VEGAS BABY!

actually I hated Vegas!!!! The Valley of Fire and the Spring Mountains is where I really enjoyed and spent most of my time when I was there.

I think it has more to do with that I think the Memorial courses look boring as heck.

keith likes to throw hyzers...

i agree that desert courses are not overly interesting for the most part.

I'll be there getting beaten by those guys. It's always a pleasure.

 

[Chris A]

[Shreddedcoconut]

Whats the course like? Wide open?

 

[Menacewarf]

Only 2 and 1 behind a couple of 1040 and 1030 rated guys. nice shooting :thmbup:

 

[SERE Nate]

will there be any video of the tournament?

 

[notroman]

I wonder what happened yesterday. Weather looked to be beautiful. A lot of big names (McBeth, Doss, Koling, Rico) shot 20-30 points under their rating. Windy day today. We'll see how things shake up after round 2.

 

[DannyThunders]

I heard something about Mcbeth wearin a knee brace and havin a tougher time this past week locally, but rumors are rumors so we'll see.
