I just wanted to give everyone one last update before the event. The courses are all set up and ready to go. Tee pads are marked with marking flags that are labeled with the hole number. We did our best to move tee locations to dryer locations and those that had snow, we shoveled the snow off. I attached a picture I took this evening out on the course. There is snow, but it is absolutely playable and is still beautiful! With the snow I would recommend sunglasses. It was extremely bright with the sun shining and reflecting off the snow. The layouts can be found on udisc, but you have to actually do a search by typing in "Schneiter's Bluff Front" course. There you will find the 2023 east and west layouts which is what we are using. Keep in mind that we have moved some baskets/tee pads to accommodate for the snow, so distances and exact udisc locations will be off. Look for the marking flags when going to the next tee. 

With the snow, the Golf Greens will NOT play as OB and the Bunkers/Sand Traps will not play as hazard. There also are large puddles of standing water in places on the course (not to be confused with the actual ponds). These puddles will play as casual relief. This means there will be some serious scoring opportunities out there. The caddy book is linked below and the same hole descriptions will be listed on PDGA live. The gates to the course will open around 7:20 and we will plan to start check-in at 7:30. make sure to be in front of the clubhouse at 8:30 for the MANDATORY PLAYERS MEETING. This is where we will share any info needed if the conditions change at all. I have attached the first email of info below for anyone who didn't see it. See you all tomorrow!

By the way guys and gals there’s a video on YouTube I believe from Kade and Andrew Filimoehala that shows the layout from 2022. It’ll be a bit different on some of the things obviously, but if you’ve never played the course it’s nice to get a general overview of what the property is like and the type of lines you’ll need to throw.

We're Getting Close!

I just wanted to update everyone on the event.
The courses are NOT set up in tournament layout as of right now and wont be until Friday. I know this isn't Ideal, but the weather has prevented us from driving machines out on the course to haul baskets out there, so this will happen Friday Afternoon.
The Weather is looking Decent. Still plan for cold weather as the high is forecasted for 42 that day. Currently there is minimal snow on the ground and I anticipate that there will be none by tournament day.
Please keep in mind that the Majority of all of the tee pads are being thrown from grass. We will try and move the tees to the areas with the best footing, while not taking away from the lines of the hole. The ground is and most likely still will be wet and possibly muddy. Plann accordingly with your footwear.
Player pack discs will be on a first come first serve basis. The gates to the course may not be open until 7:30am so if you get there before the gates open, you can park and wait in the church parking lot across the street.
The Bluff will have lunch options for purchase in between rounds. There are also restaurants close by to choose from.
Please read the caddy book thoroughly. The hole distances could be different from what is posted, but they should be close. With temp baskets and tee pads they are always slightly different from what was posted. The Caddy book can be found HERE
If you would like to drop out of the event, there is currently a waitlist of 5 people and you would still get a full refund as long as someone from the waitlist takes your spot. Please don't wait until the last minute.
We will not be taking card requests for this event. The PDGA advises against card requests, and where this is a shotgun start, everyone carpooling together from farther away will start all at the same time anyways. Card assignments will be posted the morning of the event and you can find those on the PDGA EVENT PAGE

I'm sure there is more info that you need to know, some of which can be found in the Caddy book. If you have other questions feel free to email me back with them. I will also have more info at the MANDATORY PLAYER MEETING at 8:30am on Saturday. Thanks and see you Saturday!
