2014 Am Worlds...Minneapolis

[Cgkdisc]

It's never revealed until you check in.

 

[NatiBuckeye]

Specific to this event you mean

 

[Cgkdisc]

Not typical to reveal player packs items at Am or Pro Worlds before you arrive other than maybe one or two teaser items.

 

[Etidie]

Do course maps/hole rules fall in that category?

 

[TalbotTrojan]

Here is the big players pack spoiler. You are going to get some discs and a bunch of pieces of paper from various vendors. In the last two years they have given 6 and 8 discs. That number depends on what manufacturers decide to step up. The bag was nice last year, but that probably had more to do with the fact Dynamic ran the event. I am guessing there will be a shirt of some kind and probably at least one bonus shirt from one of the vendors. If you want more than that, you are just greedy. The last two years there were no revelations before hand that I can remember, just a rumor or two.

. I guess so

My father and I are hoping to get out and play a quick round at BRP this Saturday at 8 am. Will we run into any AM worlds related activity besides other early birds playing practice rounds? Just want to make sure we don't drive up there and end up not being able to play.

I am not competing in AM worlds, but best of luck to those who are! I recently played the new layout at CP Adams and had a blast.

There is going to be a Sun King Dubs round at 11am. I think thats the time anyway. I am still looking for a partner to play with if anyone is interested.

Does anyone know of any MJ1 players staying at or near the Clarion? I would very much appreciate a ride to the courses next week. I would be able to pay my share of the gasoline costs.

 

[TalbotTrojan]

Alright, I have a question for Chuck, AKA the man, AKA mr. helpful, AKA he might be able to beat Chuck Norris. I said might.

I played Oakwood today and I noticed a couple of big white arrows on the tree that sits right in the middle of the fairway on holes 4 and 18. Are we playing that as mandos for worlds?

 

[Cgkdisc]

Yes. Mando left for both holes. Trying to reduce slow traffic in that area due to bigger than normal pond this year. I think that's the only special rule for Worlds on this course.

 

[Carter45145]

I heard a possibility of some spots being open in MA1. Anybody (Chuck) know if that is true? I have sent an email but haven't heard anything back. Figured it was a long shot but I'd try!

 

[Cgkdisc]

If spots open up, they will first go to those still on the waitlist, then to those who happen to be at the Worlds check-in area if some players don't show up to check in.

I figured that was the case but wanted to check.

I don't know if this already exists, but I haven't seen a complete map on the Am Worlds website. I made a map for myself to keep track of the location of the courses for organizing rides in our group. The link is below, hopefully folks find this helpful.

Google Map: Am World Courses & PDGA HQ

How about this map? http://www.pdga.com/files/2014 Am Worlds Overview Site Map.pdf

Thanks Chuck. I looked forever and didn't find that map. Might be worth throwing it on the sidebar or the 'Courses' webpage. I didn't even think to go to the confirmation package page to find that.

Met some guys form Australia playing Bryant Lake yesterday. That's a first.

This Am Worlds thing seems pretty fun. I wish had signed up my 11 year old this year. Oh well. Maybe Kalamazoo.
