My OP was about AM Worlds.....not Masters.
Not sure what the format requirements are for Master Worlds. We're hosting next year and think we would have enough quality courses so Am divisions could play 3 or 4 different courses while the pro divisions play 2.
I am hoping so. BUT.......last year, they had planned for an additional, course that snowpack prevented. The plan with an extra course was still not more than two courses in four days. They simply decreased the size of the event, with the loss of the course. The last two Masters Worlds have been 2 courses/ 4 days. The availability of appropriate courses, in each year's bids, certainly could play into the decisions, but I am not sure that is what is driving this.
Seems the same format this year, 2 courses over 4 days with the finals at Champions Landing. Shame, Emporia has a ton of great courses that are not even being considered for this event (Clover Cliff for example), but they are making one of the groups drive 45 minutes north to play Kanza View. While I enjoyed Flagstaff last year, I was underwhelmed by the experience from what I had expected it to be I guess. At the very least, Emporia seems to get the community involved from each time I've been there prior, so despite there being little to really do, there will be more involvement I guess.
When will the 2025 Masters Worlds dates be announced?
Last I heard they're homing in on a week in July,
It's funny how a 45 minute drive seems not too bad if it's all within a metro area, but a huge long way if it is through flat open country. (Of course, a 45 minute drive would be 72 miles - the way I drove when I lived in Kansas.)
I actually think 45 minutes in bumper to bumper traffic feels way longer than 45 minutes of smooth sailing on cruise control. ymmv
Outside of the course in my local town, I have to drive 45 minutes in any direction to find another one. Or to find a Wal-Mart for that matter. Driving through rural Kansas is about as long and boring as it gets. Only North Dakota rivals it from a sheer painful driving boredom perspective. Although I do prefer that to 6 lanes of bumper to bumper madness any day of the week.
