There going to be more signups?? The field is really lacking. Especially the pro divisions

The enrollment shown on the site only updates once a week. I'm told there are more than what is showing. Also, this event registration is always thin until the last week and the few days before... then we get a massive flood of registrations. The field always fills however.

I'm gonna post pics of the assembled players pack later tonight!

I've just been told that there have been a ton more registrations today... the field is filling fast, don't miss it.

I don't remember, when I signed up was there a spot for shirt size?

No, there was not. We have a very well balanced mix of sizes, based on cumulative knowledge from the last 3 years. The person who checks you in will ask, "What size shirt?" I am normally a "Large" and the large fit me perfectly for a dri-fit (just a little snug, no pinching, nice and flexible, lightweight).

Pre-Registration is filling at a record pace this year - I would highly recommend getting registered ASAP if you really want to play this year... I'm told there aren't many openings left.

I'm in town and played Sioux passage and 13 of Briscoe yesterday after my 10hr drive

 

[PerpetualNewbie]

fyi, the players guide link just goes to a pdf of the tournament flyer... was hoping for a bit more info as I'm non-local and won't be driving over until Thursday or Friday.

Also, there is a guy in Intermediate who signed up with pdga #11111 but the owner of the number has a different name and the membership is expired. I'm guessing that this is just someone who didn't have a current PDGA # but wanted to sign up and had to put something in, but hopefully someone will be double-checking these.

Looking forward to this!

I am aware of the problem with the link on the saintlouisopen.com site. I've told the webmaster...

Yes, we will be checking a persons PDGA membership at check in. We have had a few people that signed up for the PDGA just to play the STL Open, but couldn't get their number and verification right away - this is probably why they would put in a number that isn't real (for them). Everything will be square at the event.

In the meantime, there is a working link to the Player's Guide here: HERE

That's what I figured as well...

Excellent, got the PDF, thanks so much!

 

[stubborn puppet]

The link to the guide at http://www.saintlouisopen.com/#!players-guide/c1z2o is now working!

From what I can tell, I think we only have 24 openings left... and we usually get a rush on Wednesday and Thursday. DON'T WAIT!

 

[stubborn puppet]

Last day to register without a late fee and we have fewer than 15 openings... which are always gone by the end of the day Thursday.

I'll be checking here for questions until around 7pm today, but then I'm away from the internet for the rest of the weekend...

See you there.

You can count on it.
Thanks for helping to keep disc golf free to play in St. Louis!

I won't have any at the Friday Briscoe Woods Break-In tournament in the morning, but you should have plenty of opportunities throughout the day to pick one up. Let me know and i will point you in the right direction. You will certainly be able to join the largest(?) club in the world at Check-In or Tournament Central throughout the weekend...

The results are up! : http://www.pdga.com/tour/event/16678

Big Congrats to Zackeriath Johnson on the first place in Open. 21 under par !!! Congratulations to all of the players actually, it was a great event and a good time - for all of the grueling work that went into getting ready and on the days of the event, it turned out to be a real pleasure to see it come together.

Thank you EVERYONE!

I only have one video on my phone of Zach bombing a drive on the final 9. It hit a tree 500'+ out 15' in the air. Going from tee 14 to 15 basket at Endicott

 

[stubborn puppet]

We reached out to several disc golf videographers, but never heard anything back. Oh well... maybe next year.

I hope there is some more amateur video out there that folks are willing to share - I'd love to see how Zack worked it on the new Briscoe Woods course.
