this is probably a dumb question but this is my first huge tourney and i was wondering what tees MA2 play from? I assume ams but just want to be sure. Ive played mini's where ams and pros play from pro tees sometimes.

The PDGA now shows the registration list for Open.

Vinnie's reply:

"Texasstates.org states pool c plays all shorts"

 

[BigE]

Will Pros play only one set of tee pads at Manor?

I'll ask Vinnie, great question.

Based in the info I have gathered Pros will be playing the long tees only. Either way is ok.

I believe to play any A Tier taking the officials exam is required.

Think it is just NTs...which would mean Ams only need to be current

 

[Dreamer]

i hope this is the case because ive spent all my money and although $10 isnt that much, its still keeps adding up lol

Dude that sucks that they bid for an nt with 1 course. I say at least use Roy g for the pros 1 day they have it reserved for ams. Then do the test of the rounds at manor...if I played pro and wasn't really worried about the nt aspect t I wouldn't pay 160 for 1 course to get my ass handed to me by mcbeth..lol just doesn't seem they mentioned that in thier bid.

From a spectator point of view I don't like Manor being the only course the pros are going to play. Yes, it's the most technical and the most challenging, but that also means it will be the most boring to watch as the players are going to be powering down, trying to hit the small gaps and just trying to get to a safe landing area. Also, there's not really any room on the course for actual spectators except for behind the tees.

Are ams playing Friday also?

 

[araytx]

NOPE.

Long, long day on Saturday. (double entendre). Well, at least for MA1, MM1, and FW1

 

[pablo.diablo]

Wow, 49 players in MA2 already...

 

[Texashammer]

So I am a little confused. Am's will be playing all three courses and from the am boxes? Pros will only be at manor?
