700!?!? Awesome. Rochester is boasting 7 courses during the week of play over Marion's 6, so that would definitely make room for another 100 players at least. Open registration this year started May 4 at midnight, I ended up signing up at 3am because my pdga membership was registering fast enough lol.
According to the PDGA website the date for the 2011 Am Worlds is TBD. I'm gonna imagine it will start on the final Monday of June like it did this year and finish in the first few days of July if it has to.
I can't wait until Rochester gets some more things figured out. I want to know where they plan on having the final 9, whether it's going to be on the 9 hole course. Sawyer Park or if they're going to do something different for it like they did in Marion putting a portable 9 up on the OSU campus.
I'm also super stoked for the Flymart again. Last year I wasn't nearly prepared for it and this year I plan on having both the room in my car and the funds in my wallet to walk away happy lol.
As I said, I want to go camping again this year. Hopefully the weather gods will smile down on us all this year and NOT rain Sunday night as I'm setting my tent up or while we're starting our morning rounds.
Anyone have highlights from 2010 or previous years they want to see around again this year? Something different you want to see?
Bad assumption. PDGA lists this as Tue-Sat, Jul 26-30, 2011. See the link in post #4 of this discussion.

I clicked that link and all it said was TBD in the Events and Major Events link and on the World Championships page it just says 2011. Where did you find definitive dates?

Well for one they're sure as sh!t not going to use Sawye Park seeing as its in the poorest form of any of the other courses in Rochester - I'm assuming - keyword; assuming - they will use; Widener/Baker Farm, Parma DGC, Monroe Community College DGC, Ellison DGC, Basil-Marella DGC, and perhaps Brockport/Sweden Town Park DGC - Those are the top 5 in no particular order - on the camping aspect - I might open my backyard to any friendly travellers who'd like to pitch a tent - ain't much room, but enough for 2-3 big tents, plus I only live 3 mins from Basil-Marella, and 10 mins from Parma DGC, the other 3 aren't more than 20 mins away either.

I would love to live that close to the world championship. Would you be interested in a meet up in early spring so I can get a walk through of the courses before worlds?

nice! I can't wait!
I've heard rumors that they are going to try and run this on only 6 courses... Had a tournament there and the 30 intermediates took 3.5 hrs to play Parma... Gonna be some long days out there.

This year was the first time in the past three I was not invited (got hurt early in 2009) but it was the first time I could actually attend. I registered the day after the open registration began.
Hoping to make one more trip to Am World's next year - Will be looking at a 10 Hour drive from Lexington but should be fun.

woops
guess what i was looking at back in may was either something completely different or the excitement of my first tournament being the am worlds in my backyard must've made me think something else. oh well, i was wrong.

SmoothSailor

that is... correct! (chris farley FTW).
yeah you can only play in Adv. Unless you could make yourself look old and play in the legends division and just own.

Grandmasters is the division you forgot.
Don't forget there will be the Am version of the USDGC as a big event next year planned for October.
