That's a wrap, what a weekend! We would like to thank everyone who came and took part in the event. This will definitely be a memorable event for us for many reasons. When I came down with covid the week of the event I was devastated. We worked really hard on this for months and to not be able to be a part of it was tough. But wow, did our team shine! We cannot tell you how proud of everyone who stepped up for us this weekend. Todd and all the staff at the shop. All the TD's and volunteers who braved some really long hard days for this. The Ludington's for all the work on Fisher and the Flipbook. The DDG for the amazing looking courses. The PDGA who gave me constant support during a time when honestly, I just didn't know how we were going to get it in. Team members and friends who checked on us and listened when I really needed it. The players who battled not only the course but elements as well. We know it's tough trekking on and off the course during storms. Heck even Greene County Parks took my call and gave us support this weekend. At any turn of trouble someone was there to get in front of it and cover. I will never forget the 1st HSO. It may be the hardest event I have ever run with all the hurdles but I'm not sure if we have ever been more proud of the way things went. To all of you who made this event so special, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Congratulations to all our winners! Next up, The BYOP. I will post more on that in the next few days.

Well.....I can't believe we made it. The work the Tournament staff and players put in to get this round complete was nothing short of amazing. We can plan for a lot but mother nature is not one. Tee times are now set. If for any reason you can't make it please let us know. Thanks again everyone.

Okay, lets talk about it. 1st off this is all hypothetical as its not going to happen but what if.....what if it rains today. Player safety is our #1 concern. If there is severe weather or lightning please mark your lie and leave the course for shelter immediately. DO NOT FINISH YOUR HOLE. Look for your course TDs for direction. We will postpone for 30 minutes after a lightning strike then resume play. If lightning strikes again we would need to stop again. We will try to complete as many holes as we can tonight until it becomes too dark to play. At that time we would have to stop for the night. Then tomorrow we would need to finish the holes we did not complete today before we move to the next round. This would happen by shotgun start 1st thing tomorrow morning. So say you complete 9 holes today, tomorrow you would need to be on the course on hole 10 at the announced time and all players would finish. At that point we would set the times for the second round and you would need to be ready to go for it as well. If you completed your round today we will move you to the next course tomorrow and hopefully we can start you at normal times. If for some reason we get completely rained out this could adjust things more. Please stay alert to TDs and conditions and we will be working hard to make things as smooth as we can through this. Thanks

2nd we have posted tee times so if you all promise to not drop out anymore we should be good to go. Please remember the things may change a bit if we have players move so check again tomorrow. We will do our best to post if any changes need made.

Just to clear any confusion for am players. We emailed a gift card to you today. You do not have to spend it now but we will have specials and discounts for you over the weekend exclusive for HSO players so stopping in would be a plus for you. We have worked hard to stack our players room with some great options for you all. We also have a few nice other items as well for you. You do not need to check in today, we will be available all weekend but you must be on time for your round.

It’s going to be hot today and tomorrow so please be prepared. Sunscreen, lots of water and dry shoes and socks would be advised. Also please help us keep our parks looking amazing buy packing in and packing out your trash this weekend.

Courses are set. We may be painting at Belmont still today. With the weather and the grass we are a little behind on that. Also please note that we painted to OB’s at CFP with the idea that we may see some heavy rain over night and can not control how high the water might rise. Please be aware.

PDGA.com/score
The code for your PDGA scoring is HSO 2022. Even though we have the players caddy book with course particulars the PDGA site would be the official set of course particulars for the event. I do not think there is any difference in them but if there was for any reason please review your PDGA score card. If you are running a second card and your phone has issues or a player leaves you need to complete their card. You can do this by clicking the copy button in the top corner of the card and copying the score to the official card.




We will have folks out all weekend taking pictures and videos. We will work to get those out for you asap after the event as well.

Thanks again for playing and if you have any questions please let me know.

Hi Jeremy. I’m registered for MA3 currently, which I see is the top division in pool C. Does that mean that my tee time is later in the day since it’s the highest division in the pool? If so, would switching to MA2 make my tee time early since it’s one of the lowest divisions in pool B? If so could I please do that? I have an early evening commitment and would rather play a harder division as opposed to dropping out. sorry for the late change, but hopefully it helps since I see Pool C has 131/130 registered.

PLEASE READ

First, I forgot to post this Players Pack Pick Up will begin tomorrow at 11am.
Unfortunately, I have tested Positive for Covid. I contacted this through a family member who came back from traveling. I will say that with everything we had going on, I was able to work remote and didn't exposure the staff or TDs. To say I am devastated by this would be an understatement. We have worked for months to bring you this event and now my family will have to miss it. But we are blessed that no one else has tested positive at home. What does this mean for you? Not much really. Again, we have worked for months on this and we have great TDs for you at each course. The layouts on the PDGA are good and the courses are marked well. We have beefed up our staff a little to help. We have volunteers that have come out to help. I have contacted the PDGA to make them aware of the situation and they're fine with me still acting as the TD of event remotely. Actually, lots of big events like the DDO may very rarely see the TD of record on site. If you have a little extra time this weekend, please check with our TDs on the course and see if they need anything. Or maybe volunteer to spot for a bit. A little really goes a long way and our family would truly appreciate it as well.

Few more event details. Tomorrow you will get an email with a QR code. You will need that when you come to collect your players pack. It is a build your own players pack again and we have worked hard to put together a nice spread for you. Also remember Pro players we opted to keep your payout higher and not include a Shirt. We have something a little different this time and from the feedback we see Pros want bigger pay not Shirts. We will offer to sell you a shirt after the event at a highly discounted price if you like also.

Also, tomorrow we will release our players book. If you saw the BYOP book you know what you are in for. We have worked really hard on this again and it's got it all. Directions, info, details, even hole by hole fly throughs. Please review all the info, it will do a bunch. Thank you so much to Emily Ludington for this amazing product.
I will update our giveaway post on Facebook. I screenshot the total on Tuesday night but have not been able to post an update.

Tee times will be posted at 8pm tomorrow. I'm kind of surprised by the amount of people who sign up and then drop out with 88 so far. So, if we post early and then 6 people drop everything shifts so posting the night before the event is the standard.

We did make a decision to move hole 5 at Belmont tonight. There are some ground bees by the other basket. That said it's the season so please be aware.

I've been struggling with the email from DGS. I tried emailing last week's update as well and I'm told that it didn't work. I will try to send this one as well but please spread the word for us.

Remember guys we will be using digital scoring. HSO 2022 is your access. This info will be in your players book as well.

I'm sure there is something I forgot. So please ask away or message me or the shop and we will get it taken care of. Again, I am really bummed that I won't be onsite but like they say, the show must go on!

Thanks for playing
