Thanks to DisCap and all the members that helped get the course tournament ready.
2 rounds of 18
All Pros, MA1, MA2, MA40 play from the blues. MA50, FA2 & MA3 play from the whites.
All Amateurs will play with the same people BOTH rounds, starting from the same tee. Communicating the shuffle of all players in the current guidelines is just not feasible. The PDGA requires me to shuffle the Pros so I will make a trip down to the Hole 1 parking area at lunch with the hole assignments.
Rules
- All PGDA rules apply.

Please carry in, carry out all trash including cigarette butts. Drinking alcohol and other mind altering activities are not allowed on park property.
Please be careful where you step, there are holes hidden by the tall grass.
Tee off from the side or behind tees if conditions are unsafe.
Please be careful on hole 6 in the valley, there are many hidden holes you may step in.
This is a landfill. There are vents scattered around the hill which have a distinct methane odor if you stand downwind of them. PLEASE do not smoke around them. No one has blown up but I don’t want you to be the first.
Be aware of other park users. Hikers, mountain bikers, dog walkers, etc.
Two horn blasts signal the two minute warning, no more practice throws.
One horn blast signals the start of play

If a player isn’t on the tee at the start of either round, they are scored with par +4 for every hole they miss. EVEN if they show up midway thru a hole, they are required to start on the NEXT hole.
