I’m getting ready to put in the T-shirt order in. There are ladies cut shirts so if you’re a lady (or a man wearing women’s clothing) and want a ladies cut shirt please sign up soon. Otherwise you will be left to the mercy of the best guess scenario!

In an effort to ward off some of the emails, calls, and face to face questions…..
No Cash….No Spot
This seems to be a popular request. It dosn't matter who you know or your situation. For various reasons each spot costs money. This tournament has a limited field and will fill. Thank you.

Thanks Scott for all the clarification about the PFDO.

I had one question from the flyer - it states that $9 will be coming out of the players entry fee for PDGA fee's, Can-Am fee's, MADC fee's and PFDS fee's - my question is how does taking money out of everyone's entry for MADC and CanAm fee's benefit non-CanAm and non-MADC folks?

Good Question. By paying and playing in the event you become a CanAm and MADC participant.

Thanks!

The PFDO is a tournament within the Can-Am point series. The Can/Am point series has been running for a long time and Pittsburgh has been one of the regular stops in that series. Here's the web site for 2010:

http://www.canamdiscgolf.org/


I'm unsure if MADC offers a point-tracking series like the Can-Am gig. What I do know is there are sponsorship monies available to clubs who participate in the MADC series. The PFDS have used these monies to enhance our sanctioned tournaments over the years (I believe the PFDS has participated in MADC events for the past couple of decades). I've read a bit of info in the forum section of their web site.

http://www.madisc.org/

The time is getting closer. There is just one week left until the $20 late registration fee goes into effect. Sign up now or forever hold your peace.

On another note the MADC money should not be in the reg. fee. We will be giving it back to the players in either a CTP or part of the players picnic. CanAm fees will be in there and I do not see that changing anytime soon. It is a great series and it is solely up to the player if they want to participate in more events to qualify. If they do awesome, if not thanks for the $2. The Can Am series has 3 events in the pittsburgh area. Ironwood, PFDO, The Hunt, and Knobulus. That means someone around here would only need to play in one more being it outside of PA to qualify.

You forgot about Indiana...So that's 5 events in Western PA that's involved in the Can Am Point Series.

Your correct. I was running out of my 5 minute increment of quota time at work and did not get a chance to edit my post. I said three then wrote four events! Your right there is 5. More than enough reasons to participate in the series.

Whats the player pack going to have?

Amateurs will get at least a tshirt, disc, and mini.
Pros will get a Tshirt and the chance to win cold hard cash.

cant wait

Everything is in its place so go practice, you know you need it. I want to see the locals do well this year.

Hurry up and sign up. The $20 late fee will be in effect before you know it. August 1st so you can't say you didn't know it. No whiners.

Lori
Ricky
Tyler

Got Ricky and Schick...Tyler's not allowed unless he brings me a NUKE.

Hiya to all campers out there! Kira D. and I will be pre-regged within the next 48 hours and us Michigan folk will be staying at the BREAKNECK campground and would love to see more golfers camping with us. here's why you should choose the Breakneck:

- Great showers
- $8 a night. (compare with other campgrounds at $35/night)
- 5 minutes from Moraine
- No reservation required
- Tons of space
- Free firewood last year
- Swimming in the class 3 rapids river mere minutes from the campsites (see facebook photos), very safe
- Waterfalls
- And the number one reason to camp at the Breakneck: THERE ARE NO MOSQUITOS IN PITTSBURGH!!!

see y'all next weekend!

22 amateur spots left!!!!

39 pro spots left!!!

As of 1:00pm Friday July 30th

Wake up sleepyhead. If you would like to play AM at the PFDO and have not signed up you better do so. Only 22 spots left. If you’re a Pro there are 37 spots left. Who cares about the extra $20 if you wait past Saturday?

Now 21 and 36...respectively.

Now 20 and 36 PRO...Respectively!

Grace.... Anyone showing up to play the knob hill course championship on Sunday can register with Kurt Poole free of the $20 late fee.

Also just a heads up on the mystery fun forFriday the 6th at Knob Hill. I will be running a 50/50 round. You can get in the Pro or Am competition. The cost will be $10 and 50% of the total per division will go towards the winner of that day round and the other 50% will go toward that division in the PFDO for both entered pro and AM? Make sence? If not just give me your money...lol

Now 20 AM - 33 Pro left

ATTN: 13 Am - 31 PRO spots left.

As of 11am Saturday July 31st

12 amateur spots - 30 PRO spots remaining.

From what I was told Scott Hartle will be there around 11am today with some others putting the player packs together. I'm sure he'd appreciate the help...

Thanks to the PFDS for another great tournament!! The entire weekend was a great success. Look forward to seeing you all soon at 7 springs and perhaps sooner as the Pitt disc golf season *rolls* on!

p.s. - if u find a Camptime stool at Moraine w/ my name on it lemme know ;-)

A set of 3-keys on a worn silver caribiner was left at Knob Hill Overlook Pavilion at the end of the Scholls Pittsburgh Flying Disc Open. The keys are posted on the bulletin board at Knob Hill Park. PM me if they are yours.

Thank you all for such a great event, the courses have never looked better! I wish I could play those courses more than a couple times a year.....hope to be back soon.
