I will be sending out the Player's Email and Caddy Guide Sunday evening. However, I wanted to get this piece of information to you ASAP.
Flooding / Rainfall Plan
The FDGC has worked hard to get Swinney in shape and ready for the 2021 Three Rivers Open Presented by BFGoodrich.
If you are unaware, the Swinney courses are extremely prone to flooding and the rivers can rise within hours. We HOPE that mother nature is on our side this week but the forecast does not look good. Scattered showers are projected for the five (days) prior to the TRO.
IF we get rain for five (5) days AND the river is not up, approximately 10 of the 36 tees / holes can become hazardous and dangerous for competition.
Throughout the week we will be keeping a keen eye on the forecast as well as conditions at the course. We will look to make a final decision by the virtual player’s meeting Thursday night; however, we may need to make a call on Friday. As soon as we know, an email will be distributed, and posts will go up on Disc Golf Scene and the Fort Disc Golf Facebook Group (
https://www.facebook.com/groups/fortdiscgolfclub). Do some anti-rain dances this week!
Backup Plan
IF it is determined Swinney is unplayable, all competitors will play 1-round on Saturday at Tillman Park and tee-times will be utilized. Therefore, the tournament will be 2 rounds at Tillman Park (1 Round on Saturday / 1 Round on Sunday)
