Conquerors Paragolf Championships Update (3/5/2023)

by Leave a Comment

Well, we’re in the final stretch to this year’s Conquerors Championship.  While registrations have been brisk, there are still a few spots open, so don’t wait!  

Couple of announcements and updates on our schedule.  First, our reserved room block at the Westward Look Wyndham Grand Resort is set to be released this coming week.  This means that any available rooms will be released to the general public.  Any reservations after the release date are subject to availability and will be at the prevailing room rates.  If you’re late to the party, there are other properties in relatively close proximity to Forty Niner CC, such as the Extended Stays, Embassy Suites, Choice Hotels and others.  We suggest you use a hotel booking site such as Trivago, Kayak, or Goggle Travel for the broadest range of choices.  

Don’t forget that rental cars are traditionally in short supply during this time of year.  All the major brands such as Avis, Hertz, Enterprise, and Budget are already starting to rise in price.  Don’t forget the alternative brands or ride sharing as an alternative mode of transportation.

We will be announcing our menu for the Appreciation dinner as well as the awards banquet in the next few days.  

Keep in mind that the first round of the Conquerors will be a 8:30 am shotgun start to accommodate our Sponsors/Associates division (playing round one only).  Rounds two and three will be 10 minute tee times off of one and ten starting at 9:30 am each day with pairings based on total scores as of the previous day.

All scoring for the tournament will be done with Golf Status, which can be downloaded from your phone’s App Store (available for both iOS and Android).  There will be a link you can share with family, friends, and social media that will update your standings in real time.  In addition we are doing away with physical score cards and scoring sheets.  Scores will be kept on your smart devices and signed/attested on the same.  Score sheets will be live feeds to the televisions in the clubhouse, proshop, and the outdoor ramada at the club.  Finally, all tee times, updates, and messages will be provided through Golf Status via SMS to your smart device.  You will be able to access your standings and upcoming tee times on the GolfStatus app.

Seated Golfers:  It is imperative that if you are shipping your cart to Tucson, that it arrive no later than two days prior to the tournament (by March 31st). Charging space will be provided by our golf host, Forty Niner CC.  Carts will need to be return shipped no later than April 7th.  As of today’s date, we have no more SoloRiders or Paragolfers available.  We do have three Cheeta single rider carts available on a first come first served basis.

If you haven’t signed up yet, go to https://events.golfstatus.com/event/7bfb237d-f85a-48b3-9255-d289261b03ae/details/registration-details.  There are a few spots still open but the available spots are dwindling daily!!

Conquerors Paragolf Update 2/19/2023

A quick update drop for this year’s events…..

  1. Update on yardages and tees for WR4GD rankings
    • We will be making a final decision on the tees that will be used by each classification at Forty Niner CC in the next few weeks based on then current registrations. We have determined that we will be using four different tee decks for the tournament that will be marked in the GolfStatus app for your smart device and will be in compliance with the USGA requirements with regard to course ratings.
  2. New travel information on getting to Tucson (pricing information courtesy of Kayak.com)
    • Airfare: With the current situation with the airlines in the US, it appears that there is a reduction in airfares coming between now and the tourney date.
      • Following are some of the price ranges we just found for inbound on Saturday 4/1 and outbound on Thursday 4/6 (incorporates a Saturday night stay which reduces the price somewhat
        • LAX $180-$280, IAH $355-$375, MKE $463-$569, BOS $440-$500, DFW $350-$400, SEA $450-$500, MCO $450-$500, ORD $420-$460, DTW $430-$520, ATL $580-$700.
    • Car Rentals: Due to the tournament schedule, we are now seeing a reduction in rental pricing. For 4/1 – 4/6, pricing is running between $200 to $240 on economy class vehicles.
    • Hotels: Hotel prices are currently predicted to be between $100-$400 per night depending on the class of hotel. It should be noted that our host hotel, Wyndham Westward Look Resort, has a rack rate posted on Kayak for this period at $226 and we have a confirmed rate at this 5-star resort at $129!!! Please be aware that there a limited number of rooms we can hold in this block until 3/2/2023. At that time all unreserved rooms in this block will be released to the public, and regular rates will prevail starting on that date.
  3. Player’s reception and awards banquet
    • Since we will be in a “shotgun” start on Monday 4/3/2023 (Tues/Wed will be split tee times off one and ten), we obviously will all get off the course at the same time, making the scheduling of the reception at little easier. As of today, we are scheduled to start the reception promptly at 5:00 pm.
    • We will have updated information on the awards banquet in the next update
  4. Using the 49er Health Club
    • Please keep in mind that if you wish to use the 49er health club during the tournament, we need your confirmation prior to 3/25/2013 so can book the facility accordingly. This is a member facility so we need to extend every courtesy we can to the 49er members.
  5. Seated and vision-impaired player updates can be found on the tournament page here.

Volunteers

If you want to volunteer to help at the tournament, you can fill out the following form: https://tiu4all.wufoo.com/forms/tiu4all-volunteer-signups/

WAGR

First, many are asking about WR4GD rankings…you can download the confirmation schedule from the EDGA site, here. While we’re on the subject, you can also apply for your Access Pass (if you want world ranking points) here. Remember that our scoring software (Golf Status) will automatically update your GHIN index right up to the day before the tournament. If you don’t have a GHIN, you should contact your local course or utilize the USGA website to get one established. In order to compete for trophies and points, you are required to have a USGA GHIN number. If you do not, you will be entered with a “0” handicap and will compete in low gross competition only.

2/2/2023 Update on the Conquerors Paragolf Championships

by Leave a Comment

A couple of classification/tournament updates:

Our host facility
  • Seated Golfers
    • As posted previously, we will not have complimentary adaptive golf carts available due to increased liability insurance costs.  We do have some sources here in Arizona and in California that you can contact to obtain an adaptive cart.  If you have a need for adaptive cart, please email tournaments@tiu4all.org and we will do everything we can to accommodate your needs.  We will have storage/charging capabilities for the tourney.
    • We have been doing a study on the bunkers on the course.  We will be making exceptions on at least three bunkers where you will be able to pickup and drop, no nearer the hole, with no penalty, due to the severity of entry/egress.  This provisional rule is for seated golfers ONLY!!
  • Amputees
Orthopedic Sponsor
  • We are working with Hangar Prosthetics to have an emergency response team available in case you have any issues during the event.  Each of you will receive an emergency contact number in the next couple of weeks for that purpose.
  • Vision Impaired
    • While we know that most of you have your own coaches/guides, if you need an emergency guide, we have a small supply of guides who will volunteer to help you.  As our director is a qualified guide, we will make sure they understand and are trained in the functions of being a vision impaired guide.  TIU4ALL will cover all costs for the guide.
  • Cognitive
    • There are many things to cover here, but we will do our best to expand in the next few updates.  If you would like to use a single-rider cart, we have Cheeta Ninjas available (4 –  first come first served) that will enable you to move around a little more efficiently.  Email us at tournaments@tiu4all.org if you need to reserve one.
  • General Tournament Updates
    • Player Swag Bags:
      • One of the biggest complaints we’ve heard from participants is having to haul home swag due to available luggage space.  So what we decided to do this year is hand out a swag bag with certificates and balls (which all of you will probably use) that you can redeem for free (100%) merchandise that can be shipped directly to your house.  Makes it easier for you and us!!!   
    • Health club and Aquatic center
      • If you wish to take advantage of the Fitness or Aquatic facilities at Forty Niner CC, we need to hear from you prior to 3/15/2023. We will email you vouchers for usage during the tournament
  • We will be sending out an update once a week starting this weekend!!!
