Hello Great Disc State!

This is NOT your player meeting. This is just an email with some tournament information for you all...

Course Information
I did walk the course today to make sure there was no damage from the high winds the last few days and I am happy to report that there was none. Also, the winds has helped to dry it up some out there. It is soggy in a few locations but it is not near as muddy as a few weeks ago.

Hello Great Disc State!

This is NOT your player meeting. This is just an email with some tournament information for you all...

Course Information
I did walk the course today to make sure there was no damage from the high winds the last few days and I am happy to report that there was none. Also, the winds has helped to dry it up some out there. It is soggy in a few locations but it is not near as muddy as a few weeks ago.

Due to the extended cold weather this spring, the concrete teepads did not get installed as hoped. The rubber tee pads have been built up with a compacted base of limestone so they are in the best shape in over a decade. We are allowing 1M relief to the sides for those that would prefer to not throw from them however.

There is no alcohol allowed the Goldenrod Disc Golf Course. While you all are aware that it is not allowed during play of course, expect the parking lot to be patrolled a few times through the day by the park rangers.

I would recommend having a few towels as it is still wet/muddy on a few holes. As well, as there are lots of places that a disc could end up in the water so you may want to bring a few extra discs.

Does anyone know about the course conditions. Muddy or dry?

James Reynolds    April 15, 2022 at 2:07am

I know you opened it up for us to edit our own registrations, but I registered both of my daughters because they don’t have disc golf scene accounts. They would like to move up to FA3 (Tori Reynolds and Jadyn Reynolds), but it doesn’t show their registrations on my account. How would you like us to switch them?

Ashley Ray    April 12, 2022 at 2:24pm

My rating went up soo can I be switched to FA2 pretty please :)

Mark Stephens    April 11, 2022 at 12:00am

Please note I pushed check in time (check in will be mandatory) to 8:30-9:00am. Thanks and see you all soon!

Also, apparently there is a world shortage of cake? I am not making that up, that I what I was told when trying to order a 1/2 sheet cake. The post round 2 cake may also be cookies or cup cakes.

Please note there are some minor changes to the OB for this event than you may have played in the past.
All water not noted as OB is a casual hazard: “To obtain relief from a casual area, the player's lie may be relocated to the nearest lie which is farther from the target and is on the line of play, at the nearest point that provides relief (unless greater casual relief is announced by the Director).”

I will be posting the OB tomorrow for anyone that may be going to the course this weekend for practice.

Stephanie Scherer    April 2, 2022 at 8:30pm

Sadly I didn’t pay close enough attention to realize this was Easter weekend - have to withdraw due to travel to see family, hope you all have a wonderful time!

Mark Stephens    March 29, 2022 at 1:29am

In regards to lunch. I am getting pizza for sure. I THOUGHT there was 2 of you that had a gluten issue and this place also does have a gluten free crust. Could the people with this issue please send me an email at [email redacted] if you would like me to get one of those for you.

Mark Stephens    March 28, 2022 at 5:34pm

I will be getting out to the course this weekend to take a look at the conditions and the changes that have been made. I will get a list of OB together shortly after that along with anything that is needed to practice the course.

Just as a long range reminder, there is no alcohol allowed in Genesee County Parks at anytime of the year.

Mark Stephens    March 10, 2022 at 9:32pm

I uploaded a proof of the MWS Bag Tag.

As of now, it looks like the permanent concrete tee pads should be ready before this event! Thanks Brent Guest & Above Par!
