Waitlist please MPO

[Bob Kulchuk]

Bradley Arnall for waitlist please. He's too busy chiselling the request into stone to post here. Ya know, on account of his old age.

[Bob Kulchuk]

Adam Dodge would like to be added to the waitlist too. I'm gonna have to start charging for this service!

[Matt Kobel]

Waitlist MPO please!

[Pete Charron]

I will be updating all info - getting pdga data and waitlist info up today. Sorry for the delay ya'll. Just know if you get in touch with me for waitlisting I will make sure your name gets down in order of when I received your message!

Ideally you'd post here to be waitlisted.

[Pete Charron]

HUGE HUGE HUGE thank you to the New England Disc Golf Center in Southwick, MA for supporting this event with day passes to their course for each amateur in the event as well as 3 memberships for a whole year to pros!

We will award the year memberships (complete with a bag tag) to the FPO winner and to the top 2 scores from the MPO/MPM division.

Also a BIG thank you to Bob Kulchuk, Greg Babineau and Jon Dunlap for their sponsorship of the event. Much appreciated guys!

[Pete Charron]

Conditions at the course are pretty damn solid all tings considered.

Expect for some serious sog on hole 9 but other than that the course is playing really nice. Tee pads are not mint as weather and Team Challenge Finals kept us from a workday but there is also no ankle breakers or anything. It's the Noho that we've always known

[Eric Kershaw]

Just to echo Pete's words. The course is in great shape. Played a few rounds over the weekend and the only problem areas I came across was some mud on 8, soggy fairway on 9 and a pile of dog poo on 13. Some of the steep hills are pretty soft so expect some give when climbing them. Don't want anyone tumbling down to the dog path. Other than that, theres really not a ton of work that would have been needed while our friends in the Team Crane A pool were slaying for a victory. Looking forward to Saturday! I'll on the course for a quick practice round Friday a little after 5 if anyone wants to jump in.

[Rick Williams]

I thought I signed up, but don't see my name. My bad. Waitlist, please. I'll be there in the morning for NEFA sign-ups.

Rick

[Pete Charron]

Waitlist is updated. See ya in the am Rick, maybe you'll get in brother. I will renew my NEFA with you in the am

[Isaac Bromberg]

Thanks to Pete and Jeff (and Carlie) on another great PVC Tourney!
A fun time for everyone!
Congrats to the winners.
