Layouts at Picnic Island:
There are 2 sets of baskets on every hole at Picnic Island, a blue colored basket that is most certainly in the long pin of the hole, and an orange colored baske ...

Projected trophy earning positions based on 11/20/2023 registration. These are determined based on registration levels by division and are subject to change, though in my experience they tend not to:
1st - 5th | MA1, MA2, MA3, & MA50
1st - 4th | MPO & MA40
1st - 3rd | FA2, MP50, FA3, MP40, FA50, FPO
1st - 2nd | FA60, MA4, FA1, MA60
1st | All remaining divisions

Good evening Robin, there is not. Once our pools are set we leave them as to not disrupts the plans made by current players.
Adam Eaken February 10 at 1:10am
Is F pool only throwing 27 holes for their 3 rounds?
Jonathan Hokes February 9 at 10:33pm
Only about half of the hole assignments are posted on pdga. Sorry if I missed something
Cindy Taylor February 9 at 1:24am
Hey Cam I think there is a mistake on Joanne Taylor hole assignment. She is on 15 but didn't see any other ladies on hole 15. Is that correct or a mistake.
Shelley Carden February 8 at 4:38am
Vinny Montanari I FB msged you, please check.
David Galvin February 7 at 3:08am
Does Cliff or Cypress have a flyover video like Picnic? If so, could a link be shared. Assuming longs and golds aren't the same at Cliff? Thank you!

Is hole 3 at Maximo being played as Island ? Looking at OB rules doesn't look as it is Please clarify
![](https://m.discgolfscene.com/avatars/105744/34d2dd69bffb.jpg)
Good Evening Robin. It is technically. All OB teeshots must proceed to the marked drop zone with a one stroke penalty.
Adam Eaken February 6 at 6:47pm
Is there anyway to move to ma3 from ma4? If not I'd understand.

Good Afternoon Adam. Unfortunately we do no allow any movement between divisions leading up the event. Apologize for any inconvenience.
Bart Butler February 4 at 11:17pm
Will Maximo be available for practice rounds Friday?
![](https://m.discgolfscene.com/avatars/105744/34d2dd69bffb.jpg)
Good Evening Bart. Yes it will. Per the PDGAs new rules, we have to make all courses available for practice for at least 6 hours of sunlight. As such, the C Tier event will only run until 1230pm leaving the rest of the day available for open practice.
CJ Webb January 29 at 11:02pm
I'm wait-list #8 and will most likely miss this tournament. Can I go ahead and setup and pay for my players pack to be shipped?
DJ Edward January 29 at 1:41am
If any players Don't want there disc storage bin that we are receiving in our player pack, I'm interested in a few of them..( I have discs or $$ for trade) feel free to contact me directly (423)297-2194 , Thanks
![](https://m.discgolfscene.com/avatars/105744/34d2dd69bffb.jpg)
Meaning, if you are looking to move yours, price them under $30. Just a little pro tip :D
![](https://m.discgolfscene.com/avatars/158453/7700d537d6c8.jpg)
Me and my two buddies are coming from Michigan and would have to pay to get them shipped to us because of the storage bin. We could sell you ours (3 in total) for $25 each.
Jeff Ruberg January 26 at 10:14pm
Any update on Maximo or cliff basket relocations?
![](https://m.discgolfscene.com/avatars/105744/34d2dd69bffb.jpg)
Hey Jeff! I should be able to get them moved this weekend at some point. In the meantime, the pin locations are located in the pictures section of the registration page for your reference. I know throwing to a PVC pipe isnt ideal, but it should help for practice if the baskets are not where they need to be.
Juan Sebastian Perez January 12 at 1:16pm
Cameron, can you please move me to MA1? 90251
![](https://m.discgolfscene.com/avatars/105744/34d2dd69bffb.jpg)
Good Afternoon Juan. This will move you from the active registration list, to the bottom of the waitlist for that division. Please confirm this is what you would like done.
Cameron Messerschmidt November 16 at 5:57pm
How is only 20% of the fields spots predicated to Open divisions? If 80% of the field are amateurs just run an amateur event, why waste the time raising money for A-tier status to have 19 open players? On top of that you’re using a myriad of courses so there actually is no reason to have such a small percentage of the field allocated to the pros, I think just running an Amateur A-tier would suit this event better and free up the weekend for an A-tier to be ran in Florida elsewhere so peopl ... more

Good Evening Cameron and thank you very much for the contact and feedback. For a bit of history and in all transparency, the Gulf Coast Charity Open has traditionally been an A - Tier for amateurs and a B - Tier for pros up until our 2022 event when Dynamic Discs stepped up with some additional supp ... more
