As we had discussed, Front 9 starter on MBN had a rules sheet that said lift clean and place in your own fairway. I read it myself. In bold print no less.
I know they are different flights but I’m not sure why they would play different rules on the same course.
I suggested that they consider the entire tournament play by one set of rules, regardless of course. Play it up or down, I don’t care. And bring the rakes back. They won’t stop Covid!
Jeffrey ToppParticipantIf there was an awards ceremony and a lunch they wanted everyone to attend then I can understand shotgun. Otherwise there is no point.
Jeffrey ToppParticipantJason – Sad that you decided not to come back. You did a great job running the skins. And you’re a class act to play with. But I do understand. This was my first year in the event, so I can’t speak for the past. I was shocked at the condition of Lion’s Paw, and equally shocked that they had us playing it down on fairways that poorly conditioned. But to be fair I don’t know what goes into scheduling these courses. It could be Covid challenges. Maybe trying to keep costs down. Who knows. I tried to drink my tuition at the 19th hole. Thought I made a good attempt at it.
To get better players to sign up I think more will have to be done to advertise it as a top notch event. An attempt was made by trying to entice folks with an exemption into the Dixie. I’ve played in the Dixie twice and it’s a college event. Only the world’s best midams will be competitive. And it’s not the world class event it once was. I’ve played in the new Dixie mid-am the last couple of years, and if you want to play it’s reasonably open I believe. But as a first timer into the WAM I was on the fence given the course rota was unknown upon signup. It would help if they could do better than that for the gross divisions, though I understand this is mostly a handicap event so I doubt the powers that be care to cater to just gross.
As for gross champion competing in overall title, is there any extra prize money or anything? You’re competing against handicap players so it might be tough to challenge. I went into the tournament with the expectation that gross division was who I wanted to beat. Fail.

Jeffrey ToppParticipantI think I read somewhere the top five gift cards will be emailed to everyone.
Jeffrey ToppParticipantI don’t fly out until 5:30 on Friday. Unless I go blistering low tomorrow, I won’t make the fifth round. Looking for some folks to play somewhere in the morning. Text me if interested. 703-217-8464
Jeffrey ToppParticipantWhoot!
Jeffrey ToppParticipantJust got it to work. Thanks
Jeffrey ToppParticipantLandis – Mine only had one. WA-xxxxxx
Jeffrey ToppParticipantIt won’t accept my id and password. I guess the old app doesn’t work for the new players?
Jeffrey ToppParticipantIs there a 2021 app? I see a 2019 app on play store.
Jeffrey ToppParticipantIf we’re combining skins with Flight 2 will they be using handicap or are we all playing gross skins?
Jeffrey ToppParticipantCan I just pay cash?

Jeffrey ToppParticipantFollowed the link in the e-mail but only had course assignments.
Update – Never mind, I see it now.

Jeffrey ToppParticipantKen – Right. I’m just curious though, having never played the event before, did WA admin collect scorecards at the end of the day? If so, how do they get them to skins admin to determine who wins skins?
