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:

Quote$1 per entree fee goes towards prizes/trophies for the series (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)

Vibram is on board as presenting sponsor for the Series!

Also have Monster House Dyes, Paragon and Big Hyzer Bag Co on board!

This is going to be a great series.  We are gonna have Vibram 5 fingers to give away at each event!!!

I got a chance to check out the new Big Hyzer bag and wow, its sweet! Big Hyzer is sponsoring the series with some gear.  Be sure to check em out www.bighyzerbags.com or on Facebook at Big Hyzer Bag Co

Lets get signed up for the Pine Hills event!

That's just awesome! Going to be a great year and great events! Thanks for putting in so much effort, Dana!

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.

Yep, carts are in, good food and good host get signed up now. Great weather too.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the event! I'd call it a pretty good day overall.
