Got the PM.  There is a pre-WA get together on Sunday night at Crocodile Rocks so my group will probably be down that way.  Generally we go to the Convention Center on Monday night.  Unless one of us in high up the leaderboad, we skip either Tuesday or Wednesday and then go on Thursday nite.  We should get together.  I will respond to your PM and give you my cell number.  Give me a shout and we can meet either at Broadway at the Beach Sunday or at the Convention Center.  Will buy you a drink.

Just an update for anybody else who may be reading this, they told me that once I register for the tourney within a week I will get a log in to a handicap site and then I just need 5 rounds by August 14th. However, if I have less than 20 rounds they will adjust my index down. Not sure of the amount or percentage they adjust down by.

I am trying to scramble to see if I can get everything cleared to go. If I had another month I would be locked in 100% but this may be hard to squeeze in but I am trying lol, looks like awesome event.

Dang, too far away and costs too much. Maybe in a few years I'll try it.
