It has to be increased interest leading to wait-lists leading them to narrow the eligible entrants, right?
I think we’re still pretty lucky in Nebraska that we can directly enter because in many states I believe they have qualifiers for their state am and mid-am.
The lowering of cap for the Am/Matchplay I 100% get and agree with, fourball I think I agree with, but MidAm, especially after increasing field size last year, confuses me. It seems to me like MidAm should be the one they want people in that range to play.
Totally agree. That’s the one that makes me a little mad. I wonder if they’re going to change it to a non-flighted tournament.
Maybe they should have a 5-10 index tournament for people like me. Call it the “Meh”-Am.
Yeah, with both the fourball and midam being flighted, it makes sense (at least in my very dumb head) to extend the cap limit higher, but I also agree with @QMany that at least in the fourball’s case, it should help with the overwhelming of the event
I would play in the Meh’d-Am so hard.
The Meh’d-Am sounds like it should be a name of an NLU event.
Or better yet, the video series of @Tron practicing in preparation of not participating in his US Mid-Am Quaifier
I think the Mid Am is a great entry-level event. That is really how I got started in the Kansas amateur golf scene. It is low-key and fun but also gets that needle in your arm.
Anyone snag a pre-sale spot for Quarry Oaks? Got a tee time in June and another in July. Very excited to see how the renovations look.
Same! July with some work buddies and June with the GPGC herd.
Yes I got one in May then another in August. I consider it a solid replacement for missing out on the debacle that was the Landmand release this year.
Hey folks, looking for TWO more people to join our Great Plains GC outing at River Wilds in Blair on May 30th. We have times right around 2-2:30 scheduled. I’d love to see Omaha and Lincoln take this opportunity to get involved with something happening less than an hour away, as a lot of the GPGC outings require us Nebraskans to travel at least a couple hours.
First two to reply or DM get the spots!
Unfortunately will be playing a practice round for the Fremont Invite that weekend or I’d love to come join!
