Hurricane Maria to threaten Puerto Rico Tournament ?

[I.I.]

PR survived Irma but this one looks troublesome. There may be a US back-up location if worst case scenario occurs.

Yes, the clean up, if they are hit directly, may well be lingering way past tourney
time....They are already in dire straits financially.....

PR may not be a fun place to go this year....

It usually isn't. 3.5 million people in an area the size of Northeastern Oklahoma, if that. They have serious issues. Unless you are getting on a boat there, I don't know why you'd go.

 

[t-townpod]

Pretty sure there is a backup location

I think Spanish Harlem (El Barrio) would be a apt replacement.

^^^No.

^^^No.

Kidding! Chill.

At one point I think Atlanta was a back up.. Not sure but we are going to need one it seems.

But according to Twitter there was massive devastation and PR will be without power for 6 months

Golf courses and rum... why else does (did) anyone go to the Caribbean?

Free vd.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

I'm betting it wasn't usually free.

 

[mcane]

Any news on where and whether the tournament will be played? It's not that far away.

 

[aTUfan]

Is there an alternate site.

 

[mcane]

last year the tournament was moved to Orlando due to the Zika virus scare

 

[I.I.]

Myrtle Beach or Orlando are possibilities but it will be held somewhere.

 

[nevadanatural]

My son was just asking me about this. They need to decide on a location soon as it's Alessandro than two months away and people will need to make travel plans.

Kelly Hines just reported it will be played in Myrtle Beach. Anyone want to go? We’ll throw in some rounds of golf for some TU fan foursomes

Who the heck is Alessandro lmfao

 

[astonmartin708]

They move it to SC with SC playing in the tournament. That seems fair. PFFFFT!

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Yeah, Idaho, Iowa, Oklahoma, the Carolinas, Texas and Michigan should have been off the plate as far as relocation went.

 

[astonmartin708]

I mean, they could have just moved it to Florida. It's not like half of these tournaments are played in nice gyms anyway.

That should have been "less than", I blame auto-correct.

 

[mcane]

I think TU could only face SC in the finals. My beef is that Orlando is a cheap easy flight. Myrtle Beach I assume is not.

 

[nevadanatural]

You can get a good price if you (a) don't mind flying American and (b) if you bundle flight and hotel on a site like Expedia. My son and I are going through permutations now trying to make decisions. He lives in VA so he's going but my wife isn't sure if she wants to go yet. If my wife and I both go we found flight (from Reno which is uber expensive to go anywhere from) and 5 nights hotel for under $1200. It's probably cheaper from Tulsa. If I end up going by myself I'll probably fly Southwest to D.C. and ride down with my son.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Yeah, I looked at it yesterday, and it was $950-$975 for the same out of tulsa staying at some fairly decent hotels.

You can fly to Charlotte for a decent price and then drive over.

I just got off a flight from American, and they had a new plane that was the most impressive plane I have ever flown in. I'm talking coach gets their own TV and movies for free

Flying into Raleigh is cheapest way to go
