Special OB announcements

Hole 10 at West - Barbed wire is the OB line on the left side. Reminder that you get 2 meter relief from Barbed Wire

Hole 1 at West - just to make sure no confusion, the tall grass right is safe, only Water and Field are OB


If you are a newer player here are a few things you might want to know more about.


1. Check out tourney rules on pdga https://www.pdga.com/rules/competition-manual-disc-golf-events
2. 3 minute rule, if the entire card is looking for a disc for 3 minutes the disc is declared lost and you must either throw from where it went OB if there is OB or you must throw from your previous lie with a 1 stroke penalty.
3. During tournament rounds there is no practice allowed, even if there is a backup you can’t practice by throwing or putting.
4. If you are late to your tee time and you miss holes, you will take a par +4 on each hole that you miss. You cannot play the holes later or try and play them to catch up to your card. 
5. There must be a minimum of 3 players on your card. If enough players don’t show up to make 3 then you need to split and go to a different card.
6. Mini or marker, you can’t pick up your disc to throw the same disc without using a mini. The other option would be to throw a different disc and leave your previously thrown disc where is landed and throw behind it.
7. Provisional - a provisional is a throw that is used when you don’t know something for sure. For example on an Island hole, if your disc is close to being in bounds but you can’t tell from the tee, you can call a provisional and throw again in order to save you time from potentially walking back to the tee if you get to the island and your disc is out of bounds. Another example would be if you and your card mates can’t agree on if your inbound on a certain shot, you can play a provisional and play it both ways then come to the tournament director after the round to discuss with your card.
8. Payouts, if you are playing amateur, after the final round of the tournament is done we will calculate the winnings which normally takes 15-20 minutes and then we will announce all of the individuals that earned a payout for each division, if you are in the top 40% of your division you will more than likely receive some sort of merchandise credit to be used that day on Discs, Sunglasses, Apparel, etc..

I was looking at playing ma4 for this event. I see a player rated 893 in ma4. Will that entry be moved to ma3?

Chris Hall    May 14 at 1:05pm

What time shotgun Saturday start? 10 am?

Micheal Perez    May 8 at 11:39am

Around what time on Saturday would tee times be?

Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer camping this year.

There are a few camping options near Fairmont.

Flying Goose - Fairmont
Checkers - Welcome
Cavens - Sherburn

David Bajari    April 16 at 12:32pm

Will camping be available on the course?

Joshua Battazzi    April 15 at 1:29pm

We are making the change now. Every division will play each course once. We are capping the event at 72 total players. Everyone will play Central First Round Saturday, West Second Round Saturday and then Sunday will be tee times at East. Hopefully this is more down the line of what people were looking for.

I played in Albert Lee yesterday. This event was brought up a few times. It sounds like quite a few aren't signing up for the event because it's not playing all 3 courses on a rotation. I'm not saying you should change it. Just offering some feedback. Feel free to ignore the comment.

Joshua Battazzi    April 9 at 7:42pm

Amateurs you have 10 more days to get registered to guarantee your shirt size for the event!

Must be registered by April 19th in order to guarantee your shirt size

Joshua Battazzi    March 17 at 8:25pm

Reminder Amateur player packs will consist of a minimum of 2 Tee shirts and a Disc. (Must be registered by April 19th in order to guarantee your shirt size)

Chris Hall    February 15 at 9:28pm

Why do you have the mpo field playing the easiest of 3 courses 2 times? Yet you have the intermediate, ladies, and juniors playing central 2 times. Central is the toughest of the 3 by far. If anyone plays central 2 times it should be the MPO field. Or you know, 1 round at each course for everyone...

JONATHAN J SCHARLEMANN    February 13 at 7:34pm

Maybe I read it wrong. But on the Facebook event it looks like pool A plays east and central on day 1. And then east again on day 2. Is pool A not playing west?
