does am money stay in am payouts or does it get pushed around?

Is it first come first serve for carts or would we call the pro-shop to reserve one in the event carts are a go?

Thanks

If carts are available, I believe we will have enough to accommodate 72 players and the tournament field would be capped at that. Cart/course fees are included in the entree fee.

Are you asking if I take Am money and put it in the Pro purse? If so, no.  Feel free to ask around about the type of events I run. I've ran unsanctioned to A-tier and have never taken money from the Ams and put it into the Pro purse.

I have to admit that I'm slightly offended at the question, especially since its posted in the original post that money stays within divisions:

Didnt mean to offend you Dana. I quickly glanced over that before posting my questions, which is my fault. I wasnt trying to undermine or take anything away from your tournaments, as Ive heard nothing but good things.

Blame it on working 3 jobs and having a new born

Its all good, congrats on the newborn.  Hope you can squeeze some time in to hit up an event or two!  I'm working hard on getting sponsors to help make the series a memorable one and to help take some of the financial burden off the player (ie not all sponsorship money will be going to the pro purse)

Just signed up. If you call Pine Hills you can avoid the $5 fee on IRO.

I personally want to thank Dana for putting this on and making it a series that I can attend all 3 events before I leave for the Army. There aren't too many tournaments this early in the season, but Dana is a players player and knows how to run things. This will be my first time out at Pine Hills and I can't wait.

Announcement- The Pine Hills Event is officially postponed until Saturday, March 30th.  We have decided that with the current snow on the ground and more in the forecast followed by 40-50 degree weather that the course will be closed/unplayable. I apologize for the inconvenience. I should have done a better job with scheduling the event in the first place.  Full refunds will be given, or you want you can roll it over to March 30th.  Everything will be the same for the series.  Please help me spread the word to anyone who was planning on coming out.  I'll be contacting everyone that is pre-registered.

Big weekend down the road in Pontiac!  Its a quick, easy drive from the greater J-Town area. 

Lunch will be available to order in the morning before your round and delivered to the course for after your first round.

Swinging Bridge Open is this Sunday and I'm hoping for a full field.  We have tons of CTP's and another pair of Vibram FiveFingers to give away!

Series Finale @ Streator is CALLED OFF!!!!
Half the course is underwater and the pavilions are almost completely submerged.  Dana will be trying to figure out a new date ASAP.  Remember all our water is headed down there so no chance it will go down in time.  Bummer!

Thanks, Tafe.  Ottawa/Streator area is in bad shape.

Working on a new date.

Thanks,
Dana
