This sounds great. This may be a dumb question, but what kind of accomodations are there close by?

 

[scottreek]

There are several hotels in the area as this is towards the downtown area of Kansas City. The zip for this area is 66103, if you need to search within that area.

If my wife comes to this with me just to walk with me and hang out, will there be a problem with her coming to the players party?

 

[deadbody]

Trophy only means players pack but no prizes after the event right? Thinking of playing rec.

 

[mtak127]

typically in a DD tourney the top 3 finishers in the rec division will get a trophy of some sort (dyemax trophy disc or canvas print) whereas other am divisions get merchandise credit to their stores

 

[deadbody]

Yeah I don't expect to win, I am just going down to have a fun weekend with the wife, and get to play some disc golf with a nice players pack.

 

[mtak127]

you will definitely have a good time, the courses are really fun and yea....that players pack is pretty sweet!

Hey guys/gals,

Does anyone know what days the Advanced division will be playing Water Works and/or Rosedale.

Lastly, is it the top or down under layout for Rosedale?

 

[Allurex]

It will definitely be up top for Rosedale, although I don't know that Scott has planned out the specific schedule yet. He's been out of town recently (he got married!), but he should be back to work hammering out the final details soon, I'd imagine.

 

[Timko]

All the divisions are playing Rosedale and Waterworks. I know the CC of a Waterworks has been talking to be about my sadistic love of rope, so there may be some added challenge at Works.

 

[scottreek]

We are officially 1 month away from the Midwest Amateur Championships and registration is picking up. I have had 10 registrations in the last 24 hours. There will not be any day of registration, online registration will end on July 31st.

Which division

Hi I've been thinking about playing this tournament as these are my two courses I play almost every day. This would be my first tournament and I'm not sure which division to enter. At water works I can shoot a 0 for the round easily and if making all my putts I can shot -2 or 3. At rosedale close to the same. Which division would be appropriate? Thanks for the help

 

[Timko]

If you consistently shoot under par you probably belong in advanced.

 

[scottreek]

Nearly 150 registered players. Below is how many are left for each division. The amount per division could change based on registrations come in. This is just as of today (7/3/14)

Over half of the Midwest Amateur Championship spots have been pre registered for, courses are getting set and players packs are being put together. Are you registered yet?

So the wife and I are traveling down from MN to play in this. Anyone want and good MN beers in trade for some stuff I can't get in MN?

Did this last year at BG Ams and it was great.
