Is there a possibility of being able to play if a player does not show up if I am there?

Management would prefer you practice at the practice basket but are aware that there are 90 players and that will be difficult. Check in will include you signing the liability wavier.

After inspecting the area around basket #3 in the "B" position, Glenn and I decided this afternoon that it would be best to use a different basket position for this hole. The ground is still disturbed and there are too many logs inside the 10-meter circle. We moved (with Garrett G's help) the basket to the "A" position.

This has been updated in the PDGA Scorecard. UDisc still shows position B for Hole 3 - UDisc doesn't like mixed basket layouts when you use the "Smart Layouts" (which we do for Welk).

Is the course open early for practice tomorrow?

Umm. Possible dumb question here. I saw somewhere, "Dress appropriately" and tried searching if Welk had a dress code. Typically, ball golf courses prefer a collared shirt and slacks (or nice looking shorts). Is this the case for Welk? I don't want to show up to find out, my "appropriate" isn't appropriate enough.

I think the Hyatt Welk Resort folks are happiest when guests wear traditional golf attire. That being said, I have paid my greens fee and played there wearing a clean, un-torn t-shirt and shorts. As long as you're not wearing something with offensive language and your clothing covers what needs to be covered in order to avoid distracting other players...you should be fine.

Is there a caddie book?

Thanks Allen. I think the only thing that wasn't fairly obvious were the areas where trees had fallen and are surrounded by cones. Some of them have white lines and some don't. I think this applies to left of 3, and if you go skip deep right on 7/deep left on 17. We've been playing casually where it lies.

Allen Risley   September 22, 2023 at 6:16pm

I'm going to look at both of those areas this afternoon. If it looks unsafe we'll move the baskets. If it looks generally safe we MAY use paint to mark casual relief. I will post a comment here this evening with an update.

Allen Risley   September 23, 2023 at 4:45am

We moved basket #3 to the A position, which should limit the number of discs that come close to the downed tree. We determined that the area past basket 7 is uneven, but not unsafe.

Hi TDs! Excited to see everyone this weekend! Can I move to FA 40? Thanks!

I did change you but want you to know that DGS allows you to make these changes if the TD has not restricted that process.

Chandelle Butterfield   September 19, 2023 at 2:01am

Thanks Maxine. I couldn't find my original sign up email. I appreciate you!!

Maxine, I am so sorry that I will not be able to attend Allan’s big birthday bash as I am competing for an Oak Grove in a team match against La Mirada. Please let me know what you would like me to do to receive a refund. Hopefully this will open it a spot for someone else who wants to be there as much as I do! Happy Birthday, Mr. Rizbee!

Thanks for the link. I manage the UDisc layouts for Welk, so I wrote that description. I was purposefully vague on UDisc, because the final decision on layouts hadn't been made when I created the layout. ;-)

Brian Sciacca   September 19, 2023 at 4:37pm

Is this finalized? I don’t se on the about page

Allen Risley   September 19, 2023 at 8:35pm

Division layout assignments are now posted on the "About" tab.

It says if the division doesn’t get 4 or more players we will be notified. Any idea where us MA40 dudes will get put? Thanks

The division combining is a result of so many divisions and the number of awards. So by reserving the right a TD has options. In this case Glenn has plans to make awards for ALL divisions. What a Guy!!

J.J. Johnson    August 8, 2023 at 8:04pm

Hey Allen. Okay if I come back home for your birthday tournament . Haven’t seen you in donkeys years. Lol I’m gonna plan my va-ca.

Of course!!! Join us at the Welk! It's a beautiful place to play.

Maxine Duncan    August 6, 2023 at 5:37pm

Colin Hughes asked what disc? Your players pack will include one of a variety of Golden Sombrero disc from Innova. Next week I need to order the Inncolor disc with Allen's logo on it so the option will no longer be available at entry.

I will prepare a list of the discs that will be available and post it on the "About" tab. We now have the ability to post PDF files here!

I was hoping I can get an invite so I can get early registration. I'm Shaun's friend that volunteered for the Challenge.

This sounds like a great event. Great for someone like myself to get an idea how they rank up against others, ratings wise. I hope to join.
