Divisions
This is a Pro/Am PDGA B-Tier event. We've made changed the layout from previous years with the goal of making the course more difficult by extending the length of the holes. This would not be possible without getting exclusive access to the Horsenden Hill Activity Centre. With this in mind, the divisions available have been limited to MPO/MA1/MA4 and FPO/FA1/FA4.
Women's Divisions
FPO - Female Professional Division
FA1 - Female Amateur Division - Ratings >= 725
FA4 - Female Amateur Division - Ratings < 725
Mixed Divisions
MPO - Professional Division
MA1 - Amateur Division - Ratings >= 850
MA4 - Amateur Division - Ratings < 850
Please note that minimum 4 players are required per division, divisions with 3 or less players will be asked to change division. Prizes will vary depending on the how many players sign up in each division. Divisions with more players, will receive a relative larger percentage of the overall prize pool.
