Belle River Battle 23’ Layout
Par 65 from the longs
Par 59 from the shorts.
TEE ASSIGNMENTS:
MPO, MP40 and MA1 play from the Gold tees
All other divisions play from the Blue tees.
COURSE CONDITIONS:
Obviously were dealing with snow and wet conditions so dress accordingly. Bringing a broom wouldn't be a bad idea. There is about 2" of snow on the ground as of Saturday morning.
CHECK IN:
All players need to check in online with the scoring app. PDGA.com/score - access code "will"
If your picking up a player pack please know your shirt size if you got one and let us know if you bought any extra items.
Ams who signed up AFTER Feb 13 and did not get a club shirt you will get a player pack of our swag worth $50+.
Grab your stuff, move along and be at your hole by 9:30.
STARTING HOLES:
Your starting holes are online at... https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/65753
Please double check them before going out to start. They may change before we tee off.
OUT OF BOUNDS:
Due to the snow and ice, most of the artificial OB and Hazard lines are not going to be used for this event. HOLE 5 is the only hole with flags you need to worry about...and the CTP flags.
In or over the RIVER, over a FENCE, on or over any PAVEMENT is OB.
Again HOLE 5 will have to only OB flags on the course.
HOLE 5 will be playing as an island hole. Here is the PDGA description of how to play this hole...
"Island Green: Any throw from the Tee must come to rest on the Island Green to be able to mark on the Island Green. Throws from the Tee that don’t come to rest on the Island Green must proceed to the Drop Zone with a penalty throw. All other throws use normal OB rules."
HOLE 7 Any throw from the tee that comes to rest in or over the river is OB. You must proceed to the DROP ZONE with a penalty throw. All other throws use normal OB rules.
Holes 13,15,16,17 & 18. on or over pavement or over the fence is OB.
LUNCH:
Round 2 is scheduled to start at 1pm but I feel we may be pushing that back. Typically we wait 1 hour after the last group finishes the first round. FYI its is a good 10 min drive to get into Richmond if you need to leave to get lunch.
SIDE BETS:
The 50/50 CTP hole will be on hole 5 for both rounds. Its worth over $90 right now.
The Disc Golf For A Cause CTP will be on hole 13 both rounds.
The Ace pool will be donated to DGFC if no aces are hit during regulation play. Its at $180.
You can buy into the side bets the day of the event.
