Hey Todd, I was just curious to how the camping situation is looking. Is space filling up quickly? I only ask because my fiancee and two of her friends are dying to come check out the greatness of Nantucket, unfortunately I didn't know what to tell them because of the whole saving spots for players thing. Obviously we can compensate you accordingly, it would just be nice to be able to camp all together. Hopefully we can work something out. Thanks.

Looks like we have just three spots still available at the campsite each night, so we can just barely work you all in there. If you could, just PayPal $10/night/person to todd@nantucketdiscgolf.org and let me know the names of your guests and your group will be all set.

For other players looking for accommodations on Nantucket for their non-disc golfing traveling guests, please know that we still have PLENTY of beds at the hostel available that we are offering for $30/bed/night. If you are interested, just PayPal that to todd@nantucketdiscgolf.org, and let me know the names of your guests, and you'll be good to go.

Awesome news about the camping situation. Thank you. I'm sorry to keep changing things up, but one of our friends just cancelled so now I will only have two guests camping with me for Saturday night only. We will all share 1 tent so I hope that will help with space.

Todd, I tried using the link you sent me and I can't figure out how to send you money. I don't know if I'm just PayPal unfriendly or the link is not working or I could just be dumb, but I owe you $20 for two people for one night. Can't wait for this weekend, it's gonna be awesome!

Check your PMs, Steve. We'll get this worked out, no problem.

Thanks Todd, the best tourney ive ever entered. Hope to make it back every year. The course wow, amazing. Its so different from any other course in MA. All the details you put into everything is on another level, from the great breakfast burrito's delivered to the hostel to all the transportation when anyone needed it (and the porta potties? omg). I feel lucky just to have been there. thanks.

[Todd Rainwater]

Was great having you out Doug and it was all our pleasure. We are already planning for 2016 and are hoping to make next year's event bigger and better than ever.

Oh, and I am in the process of collecting all the images from the tournament this past weekend and will post all of them shortly on the Nantucket Disc Golf Facebook page. Will let you know when I do. So far, we've got some great shots of both the Pros and Amateurs as well as some really good pictures from the Thursday clinic and the Friday Skins Match.

Hey Todd, I was just looking over the results for the tournament, and my PDGA number isn't included for the pro side. I played both sides (added pro day of) and just want to make sure I get ratings for both days. PDGA# 64082...And once again, thanks for putting on such an awesome tournament-Already looking forward to next year...And since I'm already pestering you, can you confirm whether or not my 3rd place finish on Sunday qualifies me for AM nationals?
Thanks, Josh

Sorry for the trouble, Josh...with you being a walkup on the Pro day I just forgot to enter your number, totally my bad...just fixed it online and sent an email to the PDGA asking them to add your PDGA number to the official Pro TD report we already sent them.

Regarding the 2016 PDGA United States Amateur Disc Golf Championships, the answer is YES, Josh, you did qualify! Looks like they just recently posted the dates of the tournament too...it will be on June 3-5, 2016, in, as always, Milford, Michigan. Below is a list of those who qualified. A big congratulations to those who qualified!

2016 USADGC Qualified Players from the 2015 Nantucket Disc Golf Open Amateurs
1. Paul Browne -4
2. Daniel Maloney -2
3. Nicholas Ailes +1
3. Robert Kulchuk +1
3. Josh Pendleton +1

For those interested in the math, we had 26 MA1 and 15% of 26 = 3.9 and 3.9 rounded up is 4. There was a tie for the 4th and final spot (the tie was actually for 3rd in the tournament) and all ties qualify, so we had 5 players qualify for the 2016 USADGC.

The five who qualified will receive an official e-mail invite from the USADGC tournament director at some point in the next few months. For more on the tournament, check out http://www.usadgc.com.

Awesome! thanks for the update Todd. No big deal really, I should have given you my PDGA number when I signed up to simplify things.

Todd,
Thanks for running so many qualifiers simultaneously...you can remove me from this list though. I am not eligible to attend the USADGC event. On another note, for the second year, the MA State USDGC rep was decided by the qualifier held at the Nantucket Open. I hope you'll agree to be one of the sites for qualifying next year too!

Bagger.

[Todd Rainwater]

Ah yes, Bob, I should have known you are too good for the likes of us Amateurs these days. Will remove you, no problem. No additional players will qualify for the USADGC as you were involved in a multi-player tie that originally resulted in an additional player qualifying from our tournament above and beyond the top 15% of MA1s. The total list is now as follows.

1. Paul Browne -4
2. Daniel Maloney -2
3. Nicholas Ailes +1
3. Josh Pendleton +1

And, of course, we'd love to be a MA USDGC Qualifier again next year and are looking forward to it. Thanks for helping coordinating that...and the whole state of Massachusetts!
