I've been working my ass off getting this tournament together and done. It is now done, but not done, done, done.
The weather was hideous, 50s and rainy both days, but we had 111 players total, so split day was necessary and good.
The players mostly played for prizes so we did well on merch. We paid out 100% to the ams without deducting for trophies, PDGA fees or MDGO fees. We deducted for $2 fees on the pros because there is no merch mark up there. I recovered about $1350 of principle invested in the merch, so Innova and Discraft did well. I collected $411 for the PDGA. This was good all around.
The financials on this one are making me feel better about the rest of the season. Flip won't make as much because we are kicking back to Bill a fair amount, but the IOS should do better because there is no Trophy-only there.
Jon and I did not play. I don't need to practice winter play for Iowa and I don't need to break a knee falling on a wet tee.
