Executive decision: due to running out of time we didn't get hole 16's new basket location cleared out as much as we hoped for, so the basket has been moved back to the previous, original position and will stay there for both rounds. The distance will be the shorter of the two distances listed on the tee signs.

Hi Denny could you move me to MA2? I'm in ma40 currently.

Denny Ritner   September 29, 2021 at 2:04pm

done.

Denny Ritner    September 29, 2021 at 1:51pm

Reminder: online registration closes at 8pm tonight. Please remind any of your friends who have been on the fence.

Friday check-ins at Tournament Central will be between noon and 8pm.

Players may arrive on Saturday and check in at Tournament Central. I recommend checking in at TC at least one hour prior to your tee time.

Players will then need to check-in at the first tee at least 15 minutes before the tee time each round.

To clarify about check-ins:

1) Check-in at Tournament Central upon arrival at the park.

2) Check-in at the picnic table by tee 1, 15 minutes prior to your tee time.

ill be coming in late on Friday. Can I check in on Sat Morning?

Denny Ritner   September 27, 2021 at 2:22pm

Yes

Nick Meyer    September 27, 2021 at 11:58am

I may have missed this but when are we expected to "Check-in" at tournament central? Friday? 15 minutes before tee-time?

Denny Ritner   September 29, 2021 at 1:33am

Correct, what Fritz said.

Nick Meyer   September 29, 2021 at 1:42pm

My tee time is not til 2, So I'm not driving to Live Oak til noon on Saturday. Just making sure I can check-in / get my player pack before my tee-time on Saturday.

Denny Ritner   September 29, 2021 at 1:45pm

Yes indeedy

Denny Ritner    September 26, 2021 at 2:11pm

Just a reminder that online registration will close at 8pm this Wednesday.

If open spots are still remaining after Wednesday night, there will be day-of registration on a first-come, first-served basis (phone calls to "save" a spot will not be accepted).

To register day-of:
1) Pay the daily park entrance fee (non-refundable)
2) Bring CASH
3) Register at tournament central between 7 and 8 am.
4) You may play with players from another division for round one.

As was requested, in the pictures section I've posted a rough idea of what the tee times will look like for each day. This is not final, but likely won't change much.

bummer.. I guess I figured odds were pretty good that my daughter in FA3 would tee off well before MP40 and I would get to caddy for her first ever tourney round. Sunday schedule makes perfect sense and is in line with what I would have guessed. Just curious, why are the teeing orders so different on Saturday?

Nick Meyer    September 23, 2021 at 2:44am

Denny, can you please provide a rough estimate ( if you even know at this point) of the order divisions will be teeing off in? Trying to plan out the weekend if I will camp one or two nights. If my division doesn’t tee off till after lunch, makes more sense for me to stay in Tallahassee with family on Friday night.

Huuuuuge apologies to FLORIDA ROOF MASTERS! I messed up and they got omitted from the players' meeting video. They definitely came through with a tee sign sponsorship.We'll find a way to make it up!

How do we go about securing the included camp spot for players?

Permalink
Denny Ritner   September 22, 2021 at 2:15am

The included camping is in "primitive camping" areas on a first-come, first-served basis. The players meeting video, which will be uploaded tomorrow, will go into more detail on this.
