We were very disappointed in the low quality of the tournament for an A tier event.

-Cards were late for every round. Tee times were never on schedule. Cards of 5 often finished in the dark
-Intermediate, whose tourney was a B tier, got a weak player's pack with no disc.
-All of the payout for Ams was pre-picked Old School and passed out in Wal-Mart bags
-There were no games, raffles, etc.
-The USDGC qualifier spots available were based upon handicapped player ratings...
-Lunch was expensive and had very small portions, unlike the BBQ at Shawshank that was tasty, filling, and plentiful enough for seconds

The point of this rant is to say thanks as well as provide an idea of what players are looking for in an A tier event. The B tier hosted recently at Shawshank was on a completely different level than this event as far as the level of fun and player satisfaction goes. With States around the corner, we have the potential to make this a great event and change this preconceived notion of "bad golf" in Houston.

Last weekend San Antonio hosted an A tier and Crowley hosted a B tier on coinciding dates. The combined Open field for both events was 56 players in one weekend :eek:. The players are out there and the numbers are large, thus proving that we need some kind of draw to bring them a little further south.
