The Cedar Farm Golf Club is proud to present, the 12th Annual Mid-Atlantic AM Championship!

Most of the details will seem familiar. Once again, entry fees have NOT been raised. $40 for Advanced divisions, $25 for AM2 divisions. Non-PDGA members must pay an extra $5 to play.

This year, the CFGC plans to sponsor lunch both days! Was it mentioned that entry fees have not been raised for this event in years?

Some details...

Seneca Creek State Park DGC - Gaithersburg, MD
September 23 & 24, 2006
Saturday Tee Time: 10:00 am (Short to A; Long to A)
Sun Tee Time: 9:30 am (Long to B; Short to C)
AM2 divisions play ALL rounds from the short tees. No long tee rounds for AM2!

Innova Discatcher to the winner of the Men's Advanced Division. In response to people's request for less plastic and different types of prizes, we are working on coming up with a very attractive prize package.

As always, thank you for your interest in this event.

Y'all ain't so co-ordinated down there, is ya? :DThere's already threads for your tourny here:

9/23-9/24 - Mid-Atlantic Am Championships (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=569614&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1)

he's a weatherman, his mind is on ernesto. ;)

We're co-ordinated and we're going to host another great event. But I didn't realize Rich had already started a post. I was out of town from the 15-27 with no internet access.

Prior to starting this post, I went back 3 pages. Looks like I should have gone back 4! :D

Those going to Paw Paw are watching Ernesto more closely than I am!

Here's some updated information for you to ponder. The Innova Discatcher Pro has been ordered and will be awarded to the winner of the Advanced AM division (AM1 or MA1 depending on the severity of your dyslexia). Innova Champion continues to be the major sponsor of this event.

With a tournament at Calvert and another at Druid the weekend before/after, we are going to do what it takes to attract players. To that effect....

Lunch is being offered both days for players. We will be doing a cookout ala Druid Hill Open style (Hamburgers and hot dogs). Many thanks to the Cedar Farm Golf Club for helping to sponsor lunch and to the CFGC members for volunteering to help cook lunch.

In response to requests for less plastic and different types of prizes, we are planning on giving away either Best Buy gift cards or American Express gift cards. Neither can be redeemed for cash, so they fit the amateur classification of prize. The more people that show up or pre-register, the more gift cards we'll purchase. That said, I still ordered 100 discs and all discs ordered were either Pro Line or Champion (the club still has some DX plastic to give out as well). I ordered a bunch of sweet Innova golf bags too.

We had a very productive work day this past Sunday. Chainsaw Rory Duncan came out and removed every dead tree on the course (all 3 of them), including the stump on 9 and the downed tree on 10C. The Park gave us a gas powered weed whacker and a pole chainsaw. Chainsaw John McKee took the pole chainsaw and went to town. Lots and lots of pruning was done. Hector the whacker took the weed whacker and whacked just about every tree that had tall stuff at the base.

The Park is waiting until next week to mow the course. They want the Course to look as awesome as it can get for this tournament. We are so blessed to have our Park Rangers share our vision and work so closely with us. They loaned us TONS of quality equipment on Sunday and really enabled us. Once they mow, the course is gonna look AWESOME (it already does, sans a few spots of tall grass).

So I hope you'll consider travelling to the 12th M.A.A.C. We're doing what it takes to make this event worth travelling to and we are excited at the possibility of you coming to Seneca. It would be great if you could pre-register and you help us immensely by doing so. However, we do understand that some decisions are inevitably made "last minute" so there is NEVER a financial penalty for not pre-registering. But do it anyway. :) All the details can be found on the flier (http://home.comcast.net/~rhmiracle/2006_MAACflier-email.pdf )

Thank you for your interest in this event!

We're getting closer and closer! Things are really starting to come together. The Park mowed the course and it looks great. We've got the grills lined up for the cookout. I'm as excited as I can get!

Lots of locals on board but I'm hoping to hear of some travellers. I know people don't travel like they used to but I believe this tournament is worth travelling to. We've got one guy coming in from Orlando! Some southern Virginia people are rumored too.

I've got your Discatcher Pro basket sitting in my basement. I'm really looking forward to giving it to you on Sunday. :)

I think the top 3 players will be in no particular order

JB(local Cedar farm homie) ;)
Eric S.(big time VA bagger) :D
Naved(VA bagger but will take cash when he gets opportunity i hear) :eek:

But none will beat the 4 round tourney record! :p

I played in the MAAC in 2001 and 2002 and I will vouch that the Seneca course never looked better as it did during this tournament. The Mid-Atlantic AM Championships at Seneca Creek DGC is the premier amateur tournament on the East Coast and one of the best run tournaments out there. I ended my amateur career with a second place finish there in 2002, for which the local club paid my PDGA pro membership in 2003. :cool:

This tournament should not be missed by any amateur!

I meant to tell you congrats for Yetter (bagger) but I forgot. Good luck this weekend :D

I must once again dote on how great our Rangers are and how lucky we are to have them. The Park cut the grass on Monday but they used the big "bat wing" mower. With the bat wing, they can cut 95% of the course, 100% of the fairways.

But to really make the course look awesome, you gotta get the side areas and the "between the trees" area. The park has agreed to give John McKee and myself the Toro for the rest of this afternoon. We will get all the side areas to ensure that any errant rollers roll completely into the woods instead of getting stopped at the edge of the fairway. :D The course is going to look awesome for this weekend!

thanks beth.... you know the ending of your last name is pretty smooth sounding.

I appreciate the hype, but I was trying to fly under the radar. NOVA is always represents and will undoubtedly represent this weekend. My top 6 not including myself are Naved, Erik Smith, Hunter Todd, Keith Palmer, Max Kuller and Tom Coffin.
4 of those guys are NOVA

hunter is out. has to work.
