Hey all!

A couple things:

The caddy books are posted for the event, so if you want to take a look, they are uploaded to the Disc Golf Scene event page.

Important notes for the event - everyone will start at the Lion's Pride Disc Golf Course (La Moille Jr/Sr High School) for round one. Bathrooms are not available for either course, so make sure you stop by a gas station before showing up. Additionally, be sure to refer to the schedule - check-in starts at 7am, so I'd hate to ... more

Watched the preview of the Lions Pride course. Is there any OB in play, specifically around that track? Looks like a few holes are close to it? Also is there a preview of the other course available if we are not local?

Hi, Chris, thanks for reaching out! The OB in play at Lion's Pride is on/over any pavement and property lines on the right of Hole 3 and hole 5 (also behind hole 7), and then the track/football field is also out of bounds on holes 2, 3, 4, 6, and 9. As for Amboy, I'll be going there on Fri ... more

So are we playing any of the Mando signs for the event at lions pride?

Elliot Butler   November 7 at 12:38pm

Yes, all mandatories are in play for the event.

Cool. Thanks, Chris.

With it looking like we will all be playing in one division. I would like to inform the field that due to the projected weather forecast I will be making my decision whether to play, that morning. I do not want my entry fee return to me.

I will be in attendance to receive my players back.

Elliot Butler   November 3 at 12:27pm

Hi Adam - quick distinction to make. A "pool" is a grouping of players across divisions. It's not the same thing, so don't worry, just because we're all in one pool, that doesn't mean that we're all competing against each other. Everyone will still be in a division competing against people of similar skills!

Adam James Hardin   November 6 at 9:12am

Thank you Elliot for the explanation and the email. See you Saturday

Just to put this on everyone's radar - meteorologists are predicting an extremely wet period of a couple days mid-week next week. A portion of the disc golf course at Amboy City Park occasionally floods, so I may have to adjust the tournament format if part of the course becomes submerged. As always, stay tuned for more updates.

Thanks for letting us know

Elliot Butler    October 24 at 2:35pm

Just wanted to put this out on everyone's radar - if we have less than 45 players registered for the event when registration closes, we won't split into pools, meaning that everyone will play the same course at the same time. Stay tuned for future correspondences, because I'd hate to have people misinformed when it comes to tournament day.

More to come!

Is there a players pack for this? Jw, no worries if not.

Totally! You'll get a commemorative premium disc and a voucher for Gravity Disc Golf. It'll be worth more than the cost of entry. I'll post pictures once I get the discs in.

Gravity is such a great company
