1/27/2024 Conquerors Update

by Leave a Comment

Hope this finds you well and working on your game!!  Here’s the latest update on the 2024 Conquerors tournament in Scottsdale:

Currently, 62 participants have pre-registered for the event. Keep in mind that registrations will officially close on 4/07/2024. Invoices for the balance payments due will be sent out this weekend. Splitting the registration into two transactions has proven to be successful in encouraging early registrations.

The accommodations agreement for the tournament has been finalized with the Orange Tree Resort, which will be the host hotel facility for the event. 50 units have been committed for Monday check-in and Friday checkout. All units are 1-bedroom condos that can accommodate up to three people. More information, rates, and general information can be found on their website. Please note that accessible rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and the discount code will expire on 4/30/2024, so book your room early. The organizers are also working with VRBO and AirBnB to offer a discount program for local homes for the week.

In reviewing last year’s event and analyzing where money was spent unnecessarily, it has been decided that instead of providing breakfast or lunch for each round, each participant will receive a $10 credit coupon for each day of the tournament (3 rounds/certificates) that can be redeemed at any F&B establishment on the Orange Tree property. This includes the restaurants, sports bar, or even the on-course beverage carts. The organizers will print the coupons and include 3 in each participant’s swag bag. The coupons can be used one a day or all in one day, depending on the player’s preference. The certificates are used in $10 increments and will not be replaced if lost. Also, if two certificates are used for a $16 purchase, there will be no change or credit issued.

The organizers are also considering adding a coupon for a shirt that will allow players to order their shirt online, eliminating the need to guess on sizes and inventory products.

A committee meeting will be scheduled in the next few weeks to determine the yardages/tees that will be used based on classification. The organizers will strive to be fair and foster a more competitive environment. Also, they need to decide whether or not the overall champions will need to compete from the same tees or just base it on classifications. It’s important that whatever decision is made, consistency is maintained.

We will be making an announcement on the location of our awards banquet this coming week.

The organizers welcome your comments on any or all of the items mentioned above.

Stay tuned to our blog at https://www.tiu4all.org for constantly updated information.  We will be sending another update two weeks from this weekend.  Thank you and we’re looking forward to seeing you at the tournament, and remember that as entries will be limited for this event, get on board as soon as you can.

Here’s hoping every one of you had a blessed Christmas and are all looking forward to a prosperous New Year!

  1. First on the agenda is a friendly reminder that the $100 deposit program for registration ended at midnight this past Sunday 12/31/2023.  After that time, full registrations are required to secure a spot in the 2014 Conquerors Paragolf Championships on May 14th.  As of today, we only have 29 spots open for this year’s event.  If you’ve already booked your deposit, the balance due can be paid here:  https://mqw.eds.temporary.site/.website_3a963ad1/product/fourth-annual-conquerors-paragolf-championships-2024-bal-registration/.  Remember that all registrations need to be paid in full by 02/01/2024.
  2. Next, we are hoping that we can sign the final agreement with our host hotel facility in the next couple of weeks.  All rooms at the pre-negotiated final rate will be on a first-come first-served basis.  We have strived to lock up as many accessible rooms as we can but you need to reserve early if you need one.  Once agreements are signed, we will send you a link to the dedicated webpage on which you can book your accommodations.  Don’t forget that Airbnb and VRBO are cost-effective options if you don’t mind sharing with your friends.  There are a ton of homes close to the golf course.
  3. For those of you who haven’t booked flights yet, we have been monitoring the airline websites and have found out that Southwest will be conducting a nationwide sale for airfares traveling the week of our event.  As soon as we can determine that booking window we will immediately send out an email to everyone.
  4. The Player’s Appreciation event will be held at Orange Tree Golf Resort immediately after the first round on Tuesday 5/14.  The awards dinner location will be announced in the next two weeks.  

Another update will be forthcoming this next week.  We’re looking forward to seeing you in May!!  It’s going to be an awesome event!!

Our 2024 event is presented by the Dormie Network!!

The selection process for adaptive G4D golf tournaments just got better! Starting this season, we are using both the Gross and Net World Rankings for Golfers with a Disability (WR4GD) to select players. But that’s not all – we’ve also expanded the selection to include the top eight male and top two female players from each ranking. We believe that every talented golfer deserves a chance to showcase their skills. That’s why we’ve made sure that female golfers with disabilities are also represented in every event. Our upcoming schedule spans eight tournaments across five different countries, including the Magical Kenya Open, which will be our first-ever visit to Africa. Get ready to witness some of the best golfing talent in the world!

Registration and Eligibility ...‌‌
We hope this finds you well. We wanted to share some valuable information with you regarding the registration process, eligibility requirements, and important deadlines for participation in the upcoming 2024 Conquerors Paragolf Championships.
To ensure a smooth and successful registration, it is crucial to understand the guidelines and prerequisites. First item is the registration process.  This year we’re starting a new registration procedure with an initial $100 registration deposit which holds your entry in the CPC.  Registrations will be held to only 96 participants for this year’s event.  Registrations are currently open and we have already reached the halfway mark for reserved spots.  Your balance due on the registration is due on or before 02/01/2024.  Total registration fees for this year’s CPC have been set at $300 for three rounds of championships golf, two dinners, and either lunch or breakfast each day of the event.  
In subsequent emails you will be receiving every 10 days, we will address scoring procedures, local rule exceptions, and event schedules.  I hope you find these summaries helpful in navigating the registration and eligibility guidelines for the forthcoming 2024 Conquerors Paragolf Championships. Should you have any further questions or require additional information, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
ATTENTION:  We had to move the tournament dates due to the fact that the NCAA Final Four was scheduled for Phoenix the weekend after our original dates.  As a result, hotels and airfares took a huge increase for the two weeks previous and week after.  In order to stay with our initiative eo keep costs down as low as possible, we made the decision to move the event to Tuesday 5/14/24 thru Thursday 5/16/24.  https://mqw.eds.temporary.site/.website_3a963ad1/4th-annual-conquerors-paragolf-championships/

October 28 Conquerors Update

by Leave a Comment

Hope this finds you well and working on your game!!  This is the next update for the 2024 Conquerors Paragolf Championships that will be held on May 14-16, 2024 at the Orange Tree Golf Resort in warm and sunny Scottsdale, AZ.  A couple of announcements and developments to bring you current:

  1. Since opening registrations 10 days ago, we have had an overwhelming amount of registration reservations so far.  As of today, we have half the field committed.  We will be seriously thinking about raising the registration limit in order to accommodate everyone who wishes to participate.  
  2. It appears that our host hotel facilities will be two properties this year, both located in close proximity to the golf course.  We are working on the room block details so we can open room reservations in the next two weeks.  We will post updates to social media and on our blog as details become available.  We are trying to tie up as many ADA-compliant rooms as possible, reservations for which will be on a first come first served basis.  If you require an accessible room, remember to reserve early!!  Also, if you are so inclined, VRBO and Airbnb have some excellent deals in the area around the course.  If you don’t mind sharing a house, there are some excellent deals on 2-4 bedroom homes.
  3. Questions have been asked about the prospects for “senior” divisions for the tournament.  This will be entirely predicated on the registrations and whether we get at least three seniors in a particular division.  As we move forward we will try to keep everyone posted on the situation.
  4. For our tournament this year, WR4GD Impairment categories will be used. NO SELF CLASSIFYING.  You must have a WR4GD access pass and an official handicap from your country’s governing body (i.e. USGA, Golf Canada, etc) in order to compete.
  5. There will be a “grab and go” breakfast or lunch each day of the tournament.  A player’s appreciation event will be held after the first round at Orange Tree Resort.  More details and menus are forthcoming.
  6. We are planning a very special and unique awards banquet for this year’s event.  This will be a “semi-formal” event, so we ask that everyone dress appropriately.
  7. In order to reduce the amount of stuff you need to pack home, this year we are moving to a redeemable certificate with which you can go online after you get home and acquire all “wearables” that will be provided each competitor and have them sent directly to your home.  
  8. We have already started the planning for an adaptive golf clinic on March 31 at Orange Tree.  Ping will be providing fitting services for those who are interested and will be assisting with the clinic.  In addition, two of the golf staff at Orange Tree are certified adaptive instructors and will be assisting us as well.  We should have a military/VGA update on this subject in the next newsletter.
  9. Registration procedure:  Just want to make it clear so everyone understands, that the $100 deposit on registration secures your place in the tournament.  The balance of the registration fee is not due until after the first of the year.  We will make sure that full balance-due invoices are sent out to everyone with a due date of 1/15/24.  Going into the holiday season, we’re trying to make this event as affordable as we can for everyone.

Stay tuned to our blog at https://www.tiu4all.org for constantly updated information.  We will be sending another update two weeks from this weekend.  Thank you and we’re looking forward to seeing you at the tournament, and remember that as entries will be limited for this event, get on board as soon as you can.
