PLAYERS' MEETING DETAILS
The Friends of Punderson would like to thank all the players for supporting our course and events. We take a lot of passion and pride in everything Punderson, and we hope it shows. Our group is comprised solely of volunteers that do everything from coursework like mowing and trimming to running events and leagues. Your support of our events like this helps us improve the course and allows us to continue make this one of the top courses in Northeast Ohio. Proceeds from our events can be seen by the players in things like the newer bridges and draining improvements to the course, including the culverts and addition of the crushed concrete in some of the muddier spots. We have more things planned, so we really do appreciate all your support and hope you can also reap the benefits of that support and our hard work for years to come.
This is event is PDGA sanctioned B-Tier using Tee Times with 1 round a day. Tee times will be posted around noon on Friday. But please be aware adjustments will be made so please be sure to check Friday evening and again Saturday morning to unsure you have your correct tee time. By 8:30 AM all things should be finalized for any last minute drops or division changes. There is a "Tee Time Schedule" posted below that gives a general idea of the window to which you will be teeing off. Please note that this could be slightly adjusted if division counts change. But that should be very close to the time windows used for each division. Tee times begin at 9:00 AM and go through about 2 PM. Sunday should use the same start times, but may have some adjustments based on pace of play. Groups will be reshuffled for the Sunday rounds in order of the scoring. Tee times for Sunday should be posted around 8 PM on Saturday. But as with Saturday's rounds, it will be important to check again in the morning, as some players may drop for the other round.
PDGA Live scoring will be utilized, and paper scorecards will also be given to each group to use for either official copy or backup. The code for PDGA Live scoring is: PUN21
The scoring app should also have the OBs for each hole, in addition to the distance and indication of short or long pins where applicable.
OBs will be reposted after this post and made a sticky at the top of the Comments string for reference. There will also be paper copies that include all applicable OBs and Special Rules, including for the Hole 2 Island Pin, Hole 3 Platform Tee, and Hole 4. If any doubts, please take a Provisional Shot and a photo and we will clarify and update scoring if needed. Please note that OBs may be modified the day of the event based on current conditions. If player safety may be at risk, we will adjust accordingly. This may include changing OBs of roped areas along Pine Lake to surrounded by water. This will be communicated to groups upon check-in if necessary.
Check-in will be located near the Hole 1 Tee. We will have canopies set up and players will check-in and receive the OB sheets and any specific updates on layouts / OBs. PLEASE CHECK IN AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE YOUR TEE TIME!!!! Amateur player's will have the option of getting their player's pack either before or after the round on Saturday. This is so players who do not want to walk back to their car do not have to. If a player would like to buy in on the $5 Ace Fund (details posted as a "sticky" below), they will need to do it during check-in before they tee off for round 1. We will have spotters on the Island and on Hole 15 throughout the rounds, in addition to some help on hole 1 as well. This should help keep the pace of play going and keep tee times on schedule.
The Format is as follows:
Saturday:
All Professional Men and Women, MA1, MA40, MA50 -- Blues to Long with Island and Platform (Par 70)
MA2, MA3, FA1, FA2, MA4 -- Whites to Longs, no Island (Par 61)
Sunday:
All Professional Men and Women, MA1, MA40, MA50 -- Whites to Long with Island (Par 62)
MA2, MA3, FA1, FA2, MA4 -- Reds to Longs, no Island (Par 58)
These are subject to change based on conditions, as I posted yesterday. If the Island is unplayable, the Platform should still be in play.
We will have some CTPs each day.
Saturday (by tee pad played):
Blue Tees (MPO, MP40, FPO, MA1, MA40, MA50) -- Hole 14
White Tees (MA2, MA3, MA4, FA1, FA2) -- Hole 13
These will be a custom stamp disc (donated by Mike Hosier) and a tee shirt (donated by Rick G.) for each CTP
Sunday (by division):
MPO -- Hole 10
MP40 -- Hole 10
FPO -- Hole 13
MA1 -- Hole 13
MA40 -- Hole 4
MA50 -- Hole 4
MA2 -- Hole 8
MA3 -- Hole 2
MA4 -- Hole 11
FA1 -- Hole 2
FA2 -- Hole 11
These will be a disc and towel donated by The Friends of Punderson
Amateur payouts will be available once each division is completed on Sunday and will take place at the course near hole 1. Payouts from the Labyrinth Lite can also be redeemed at this time as well. We have a decent selection, including Innova, Discraft, MVP/Axiom, DD, Latitude 64,and Gateway. Professional payouts will be sent Sunday night via Paypal. Payouts will be posted at the course on Sunday for each division.
If I'm missing anything, please let me know. Otherwise I think that covers it and thanks again for supporting our event!!!

Maybe a dumb question, but is there a good spot to park or just try to find somewhere along the road leading in? It was kinda crazy even last Saturday.
