I’ve played a few tournaments in more short time playing the sport.
The Spam event is one of the best I’ve ever played.
Everything ran smooth and all the courses were bad ass! Thank you Spotsy dgc , Bob Cannon , John Biscoe , Doug , staff & all who made this 3 day 4 round event happen! This was my first Spam event.

If anyone sees a pink Origin in the water at Hawk Hollow on the back (straight shot downhill hole with water behind) would you mind bringing to the party tonight? Thanks!

There should be tent camping available at Wilderness Presidential Resort. Please email Amy Rogers - [email redacted]

Thanks Bob.

Seph Coster    September 6, 2022 at 7:22pm

Excited to play with you all this weekend. I’m looking at logistics and wondering about food, water, etc during the multi-round days. Should we plan on bringing everything we need to Cannon Ridge and/or will there be food / water etc options available there?

Similarly, will there be anybody selling discs and/or equipment around at any of the courses or should we make sure to bring any spares?

Thanks for the help!

There is definitely water at CR and lots of food options nearby. There will be a good selection of Prodigy plastic available at HH.

Seph Coster   September 6, 2022 at 10:04pm

Thanks!

Due to a health emergency, I believe it wisest that I withdraw from this tournament.

Thanks. I was really hoping to play in this again, with it (more or less) being on the original courses, but I have to recognize (and have) that I am a diabetic and that sometimes the evilest aspects of your disease can rear their head.

Brandon “Lemony Snickets” Tinsley    September 6, 2022 at 2:55pm

Is HH open for practice Thursday?

Anyone playing want to practice Thursday afternoon if yes?

Unfortunately, I thought the close date was tomorrow. Is there any way I can get in?

You are welcome!

Will Hawk Hollow be available for practice a round?

Scott Harrell   August 29, 2022 at 4:24pm

Great question. I have never played any of them and was wondering if any will be available during the week of the 5th. I am on vacation and would like to see them at least once.

Bob Cannon   August 29, 2022 at 6:39pm

There will be a workday this Satruday at 9 am for any work that Biscoe does not get done before then.

C. Justin Stockton    August 25, 2022 at 11:29pm

Most juniors have school Friday. I have one that would love to play. Any chance of having juniors only playing two rounds next year?

Bob Cannon   August 26, 2022 at 12:51am

We run SpAm every other year. We will take it into consideration.

C. Justin Stockton   August 26, 2022 at 2:30pm

If there is any way Alex Chakalos and I can have an earlier tee time Friday and Saturday that would be very much appreciated!!

Saturday is two rounds for your guys pool. Shotgun start I’m assuming

Bob Cannon   August 15, 2022 at 2:47pm

Should be able to accomodate Friday rounds, but you will both play 2 rounds on Saturday at Cannon Ridge. (shotgun start)
