So, whether you're a pro or an amateur, you'll have something big to play for. Pros who wish to play for a 2014 Maple Hill Open spot simply need to pay a $10 opt-in fee when registering for the 2014 NDGO. The top 3 Pros that opted-in will earn spots to the MHO. Players may be from any Pro division, so long as all rounds are played from the long tees. Ties will be broken by sudden-death playoff. Previously qualified players cannot compete for spots. At the awards ceremony, players who qualify will receive a qualifying letter. Keep in mind, that the 2014 NDG Open is (other than the Five Spots Tourney held at MH the day before the MHO) your FINAL chance out of 24 MHO qualifying tournaments held worldwide to earn a spot at the prestigious 2014 Maple Hill Open, held just one week after the NDG Open. All Advanced (MA1) players in the 2014 NDG Open will be automatically entered into qualifying for the 2015 USADGC, held in Milford, Michigan on June 5-7, 2015. Players finishing in the top 15% (rounded up) of the MA1 division will receive invitations to play in the 2015 USADGC, a PDGA Major event. If there is a tie for the final spot, all tied players will receive an invite to the USADGC. If a player has already qualified, he is used as a "spoiler" and his final position counts as one of the qualifiers in your event. **Transportation to/from Nantucket** All ferries to Nantucket from the mainland leave from Hyannis. For those traveling over on either morning of the tournament, the 6:20am Hy-Line Fast Ferry from Hyannis is the only ferry that will get you to Nantucket in time for the players meeting. We will be picking up players from the docks when that boat arrives at 7:30am each morning and taking them to the course. Transportation back to the docks after the tournament will also be provided. There are fast ferries returning to Hyannis each night at 6:15pm (SA), 7:20pm (H), 8:45pm (SA) & 10pm (H) and slow ferries returning at 8pm (SA) & 8:20pm (H).
