Players,

Laurelain Classic 7 is 2 rounds of 20 holes PDGA C-Tier event at Laurelain Park DGC in Reading, PA Saturday 5/31/2025.

Players must sign in between 8:30am and 9:29am. Sign in is at the pavilion by hole 1&3. Starting Holes are at https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/88103

Check again in the morning your starting hole to confirm nothing has changed.

When you sign in, we will have tables set up with amateur player’s pack items. If you signed up for a players pack you will get two items. An $8 item and an $10 item. We will have lots of discs and other items to select from. First come best choices.

Each card must have everybody keeping score. One person must keep score via the PDGA website and the others any other way you want. We have paper scorecards.

We have set up layouts on the PDGA site. PDGA.comscores. Code will be provided at players meeting.

It will rain inches tonight so the ground will be extremely wet. It would be a good idea to bring extra socks and boots to switch into for round 2.

Hand sanitizer is available for your use before you touch any merchandise in the store.

Keep an eye on where you land. You only get 3 minutes to search for your disc before it is officially lost.

Two-meter rule is not in effect

Bring plenty of water; and this may be a good time for this year to wear sunscreen & bug spray.

Projected payouts can be found at https://www.pdga.com/apps/tournament/manager/payouts_projected?TournID=88103

The exact numbers will change but this will give you an idea of what to expect; if people drop from your division, then the payout will be less. Top ~40% of each amateur division will receive a store voucher; professional divisions will be paid via CASH.

The B.S. Bochantin Upshot store will be open all day. We accept Venmo or Cash.

For those swapping their unwanted plastic, give us your discs before your round starts. We will value them as you play, and you will receive a scrip card for the value to use when you finish the round. We are not accepting any swaps after you start round 1. All HoD discs will be valued at $1.

For any first-place tie breaker playoffs will start on Hole 1 shortest tees to shortest basket available.

For Ace Pot, if someone hits an ace then they get the $160 sent to them via paypal. If multiple people hit an ace, then they split the pot.

We may have cards of three players. If a player is not present then they get par plus four. Additionally, you can’t start with only two players so you must wait for the group behind you to catch up with you and play as a much larger group.

The standard course rules (OB/mando/etc) are all in play; see the scoring PDGA site for all those notes. Additionally, we may be flagging the OB lines for the stream differently because of flooding. Lastly for any lie near the actual waters edge you get a relief of five feet instead of the standard one meter (~3.3 feet).

Friday 4pm to Saturday 7am we will be getting lots of rain and the stream will be high. In preparation no layout will be using Hole 4 A (short) basket, Hole 10 B (long) basket or Hole 15 long tee.

Early Saturday morning starting at 7:30am we will be walking the course and determining how many holes are unplayable. We have created multiple plans.

Plan A is a 20 hole round utilizing both a LONG & SHORT layout. The two extra holes (Holes A & B) are between course holes 17 & 18 just like last year.

Plan B will happen if one hole is unplayable (Hole 13 basket highest candidate). In this plan we will have only one 20 hole layout played by all players. We will add a temp hole between course holes 18 & 1 (Hole C).

Plan C will happen if two holes are unplayable (Hole 13 basket & Hole 14 tee highest candidates). In this plan we will have only one 19 hole layout played by all players.

Plan D will happen if three holes are unplayable (Hole 13 basket, Hole 14 tee & Hole 12 highest candidates). In this plan we will have only one 19 hole layout played by all players. We split Hole 5 into two holes.

Plan E will happen if most or all of holes 10-14 are unplayable. In this plan we will have only one 19 hole layout played by all players. We will utilize 16 of the baskets in the ground at the course plus three temp baskets. (PV, A, B, 15, 16, 17, C, D, 4, 7, 9, E, F, 8, 7, G, 2, 1, H)

The published starting holes are all based on Plan A and based on the current total player count of 76.

Plan A: We will be using a LONG layout and a SHORT layout. Pool A plays LONG LONG, Pool B LONG SHORT, Pool C SHORT SHORT. The long layout is mostly from longest tee pads to longest available basket (w ... show more ›

Plan A: We will be using a LONG layout and a SHORT layout. Pool A plays LONG LONG, Pool B LONG SHORT, Pool C SHORT SHORT. The long layout is mostly from longest tee pads to longest available basket (with a few exceptions); the short layout is throwing from the shortest tee pad to the closest basket (with a few exceptions).

Also we are over 72 players so just like last year we will be doing a 19 hole layout.

We will also be creating Plan B, Plan C & Plan D if the water level in the creek make certain tees or baskets unplayable.

For some reason I can't get this tournament to show up when searching a number of miles from a location. Only shows up if I select Pennsylvania, if I select Mount Joy, PA and up to 100 miles away it still won't show up even though many others do. Thought you'd want to know some people may not be seeing it as an option on their lists...
