We know there is a problem with the tee times that are currently posted. Tee times are being worked on as this is being posted. We appreciate you for notifying us of the error.

Best of luck to those on moving day and to the amateurs starting at the beautiful Hudson Mills park tomorrow.

We are on our way home from the park but the 12:30 tee times will be fixed when we are home and able to. Thanks again for your continued patience.

Douglas McIntosh   May 29, 2015 at 8:35pm

It still looks like there's two groups teeing off at 12:30

John Minicuci   May 29, 2015 at 9:40pm

I think it is fixed. The DGA website should propagate by 9:40. Tee Times from 9:30 were bumped to 9:20 and all the way back to 11:40. The Internet at the park wasn't working great. I just got home so all should be fixed now. Thank you for your patience ...

John Minicuci    Sticky May 28, 2015 at 7:37am

PRO TEE TIMES ARE POSTED:
Please review your tee times. Since we are running groups of 3, please be at the course early just in case someone does not make it and a player gets bumped up a group. Also, please read the Sticky comment below about which exit off of the highway to use and speeding in the park. We want everyone to make their tee times with time to spare so they can tee off nice and relaxed before entering the Toboggan arena.

4 MPG' why are we not on the same card makes no sense

John Minicuci   May 28, 2015 at 7:22pm

There are 5 of you. Eddie needed to move from Senior G'Master because 1 is not a group.

John Minicuci   May 29, 2015 at 12:49am

I have adjusted the tee times and Eddie's division. There are now 5 in the G'Masters division so being the early PDGA #, Mike gets the nod to play with the younger division. No worries, I have seen Mike throw and after Friday, he will be adjusted accordingly by score ;-) Just kidding Mike, I know you throw great. Everyone, have a great relaxing evening and we will see you in the morning!

John Minicuci    Sticky May 25, 2015 at 11:06pm

TOBOGGAN COURSE UPDATE: Mowing has started. It is very rough yet and some wider paths will be cut in in the next day or two. Slag will be added soon to the tee pad areas. Most of the basket locations have wood stakes. Please stay off the tee pad areas at all cost. Please stay well away from the mowers. In general, please wait until Wednesday.

How does the areas where the olive bushes were removed look? is the toboggan still de-fanged or are her teeth grown back?

John Minicuci   May 27, 2015 at 12:08am

There is a little weedy growth in some areas. We defined the fairways after the initial mowing pass and had specific areas widened but we didn't go crazy cutting everything down. Stay in the fairways.

John Minicuci   May 28, 2015 at 9:04am

FYI: If you sort the PDGA page by PDGA # at the top of the MPO field, all tee times will be organized from beginning to end.

Chris Leo    Sticky May 23, 2015 at 12:44am

The Amateur side is now filled. You can pay to be on the wait list and that will guarantee you a spot if one becomes available. If you are on the wait list and don't get in you will receive a refund.

I can't wait to try this course this year, I've heard so many things.

Mark Stephens    Sticky May 14, 2015 at 7:00pm

We are looking for a limited number of spotters Friday - Sunday at the Toboggan. This is preferably an all day commitment however, if you cannot do a whole day we may be able to work you in. Because of the removal of the autumn olive on the course the number of spotters is much smaller than in years past. All spotters will be provided with a dri fit shirt, lunch, and some x out discs provided by Discraft. If you are interested in spotting for the event, please post here, indicating the days that you are available to spot. Thanks!

Friday spotters, I am asking for people to be at the Toboggan at 8:30am.

Mike Utberg   May 27, 2015 at 9:27pm

I'm available to spot from 830-4 on Friday. Shoot me an email if that works for you [email redacted]

Mark Stephens   May 27, 2015 at 11:33pm

Should work out fine. See you there

Larry Dalimonte    June 8, 2015 at 4:00pm

I was on the waitlist for DGLO but wasn't able to play. Who do I talk to about getting a refund? I emailed the TD about a week ago but no response yet. I know it has been a busy past couple weeks just trying to tie up a loose end. Thank you.

Jeff Bauman    June 1, 2015 at 4:05pm

So is there anything we can do to get cement tee boxes out at the toboggan? Not only do those fly pads suck in the rain, they are dangerous.

Invent a roll-up concrete or asphalt topped flypad and you'll be a millionaire, Jeff.

Jeff Meldrum   June 1, 2015 at 11:06pm

Any idea where it might be next year?

Chris Leo   June 2, 2015 at 9:11am

Maybe, but nothing is concrete yet.

William Gilbert    June 1, 2015 at 2:47pm

Round ratings are not correct. They will be in a few hours...

I'm going to have to withdraw. My right leg/ knee is really bothering me and I don't want to further injure it playing in the rain tomorrow.
