Hello!

Thank you for signing up for the 2025 Cody Hartman Spring Celenbration at Buxton Woods Powered by Innova and Drops!

Let's get right to it, eh?

SPONSORS:
Huge shout out to Dustin Smith, Cory Dawkins, Dave Moore and Robert Griswold at Drops for stepping up and sponsoring the event for the third year! We'd also like to thank Mark McKay Painting Services, Matt Bailey the Disc Golf Realtor and Disc Junction for their additional sponsorship. And of course our hole sponsors whose names you will see on tee signs at Buxton over the weekend. If you see any of these people, please thank them. We wouldn't be having this event without them.

We also want to thank Jesse Tomaino and All Day Disc Golf for handling Scrip for our Ams. The plan is for Jesse to be on site both Saturday and Sunday at Buxton for winning Ams to redeem their Scrip.

And where would we be without Kevin Strand and the good people at Buxton Woods (like STARNZY!) who invite us to celebrate Spring with them each year? Elsewhere.

WEATHER:
Saturday folks are looking like the lucky ones this year. Sunday should be prepared for rain. But this is Oregon so it should just be a slight mist…. Right?

LUNCH:
Lunch will not be provided either day. Please plan accordingly.

SCORING:
ALL players (or their caddies) are required to keep score. This isa helpful page: https://www.pdga.com/news/how-score-2024-player-td-guidance
Most will embrace the changes and use their phones as the PDGA app is awesome and very useful for more than just keeping score. Those who are stuck in the past and insist on writing down their scores will be provided with a stone tablet and a chisel so that they can record scores. No... not really. Players who requested a paper scorecard will be handed 2 scorecards when they check in with tournament staff in the morning. It is their responsibility to hold on to those as those are the scorecards we are required to provide. If you have any questions, please make sure you speak with a tournament official prior to the start of competition.

LIVE SCORING:
We will be using live scoring. You can access the PDGA Live App or website: pdga.com/score
The code for Saturday is: codysaturday
The code for Sunday is: codysunday

CELL SERVICE and LIVE SCORING:
Cell service isn't awesome at Buxton. This does NOT prevent anyone from keeping score using the PDGA Live App or site. The web app has been designed so that scores are stored locally on your device for the entire round. When there is a loss of service, there is nothing to worry about because once you have reached a place where you get service again, your device synchs up with the server and scores “catch up”.

PARKING:
Just like last year, there will be NO PARKING on John Lee Rd. You MUST park on Buxton Woods property. Kevin will be on site making sure that you park close to each other. It is possible that some will be parked in. If you see a friend, park them in. As there are only 72 players on site at once, this should be much less of a problem from years past. To help even further....

CARPOOLING:
People who carpool are cool. They are so cool, we will be giving a free raffle ticket to anyone who shows up as part of a carpool. Same goes for people who are dropped off. Come let us know at the 19th hole and we will take care of you.

RAFFLE TICKETS:
Raffle tickets will be available at Buxton throughout the weekend. We have a full size Innova basket, several bags, tournament discs, apparel and more in our raffle for this year. Mojoh kicked in a Ryzer. Grannie’s DG Trophies kicked in a sweet cutting board. The raffle will be pulled Sunday between rounds for the Pros. Raffle prizes will be available at Buxton for pick-up for those who are not in attendance during the raffle. If you cannot get to Buxton, we will make arrangements for you to collect your prize. You are encouraged to put your full name and phone number or your PDGA # on your raffle tickets so that you can be notified if you win. Prices are $1 each or 6 for $5.

PRE-ORDERED FUNDRAISER DISCS:
First, thank you all for ordering discs through DGS. Your discs are available to be picked up at any time at the 19th Hole at Buxton Woods. IF YOU MISSED OUT.... We went for it with the TFR discs and we are really pleased with the feedback we have gotten from those who have seen them. Justin Lago did an amazing job on this year's and last year’s stamp and Innova Champion Discs absolutely nailed it. We still have SOME of each mold but they are going fast so shop early!

It is entirely possible that we have forgotten something. If we didn't cover something that you are needing to know – and especially if you think others should know it - please do not hesitate to contact me by replying to this email or picking up the phone and giving Sam a call at 971-645-6371. Or text... because that is easier. If anything comes up that bears repeating, I will send a follow-up email prior to Friday night.

Thank you all again and we look forward to some great competition!
-Sam Gibson & Ian Blake

Drops are subject to PDGA rules - and will be enforced strictly moving forward.

D. Players who officially request to withdraw from an event 15 to 29 days before the start of the event will receive a 100% monetary refund of their entry fee minus up to a $10 handling fee only if their spot in the tournament is filled by a player who is on the waitlist at the time of the withdrawal request. If the player’s spot is not filled, the TD has the choice to provide either a 50% monetary refund of their entry fee or just the player’s pack the player would have received if they had attended (minus the cost of shipping). In the case of a player in a Pro division for an event without a Pro player pack worth at least 25% of the Entry Fee, the TD will provide the 50% monetary refund.

E. Players who officially request to withdraw from an event within 14 days of the start of the event and prior to the event’s published closure of registration and waitlist replacements (within one week is recommended) will receive a 100% monetary refund minus up to a $10 handling fee only if their spot in the tournament is filled by a player who is on the waitlist at the time of the withdrawal request. If the player’s spot is not filled, the TD has the choice to provide either a 25% monetary refund or just the player’s pack they would have received if they had attended (minus the cost of shipping). In the case of a player in a Pro division for an event without a Pro player pack worth at least 25% of the Entry Fee, the TD will provide the 25% monetary refund.

F. Players who request withdrawal within 48 hours of the start of play, or who request withdrawal after the published close of registration and the published end of waitlist replacements, are not entitled to a refund. If a TD fills a player’s spot with a player on the waitlist at the time of withdrawal after the published close of registration and the published end of waitlist replacements, but more than 48 hours prior to the start of play, that player must receive a 100% monetary refund of their entry fee.

This event is at risk of being canceled and combined with the Sunday pro day.

If you know someone who is interested in playing this event and getting the sweet players pack that comes with registration, get them to sign up soon. Otherwise, there will be no AM side of the Spring Celebration this year.
