There was a typo regarding playing to the Long Pin on hole 2 (Island pin) that is updated below. Players will have 3 TOTAL shots to make the Island before moving to the Platform Drop Zone (1 shot +2 possible rethrows).

ALSO....PLEASE NOTE COURSE CONDTIONS WILL DICTATE OBS!!! There is rain in the forecast between now and the event. As is, a good bit of the roped areas along the lake, including the Island, have standing water inside the ropes. With this in mind, OBs will be finalized Saturday night or Sunday morning and communicated to all players during the MANDATORY PLAYERS MEETING before round 1. This is to confirm OBs, layouts, and any other important information.

COURSE OBS:
HOLE 1: Surrounded by water behind basket
HOLE 2: Surround by water (Pine Lake) moving from White Tee to Short Pin Green area. By Short Pin Green area, roped areas along Pine Lake (see below for Island pin rules)
HOLE 3: Roped areas along Pine Lake
HOLE 4: Yellow Roped areas along left of fairway, right of fairway along creek and around island green. On tee shot, if disc crosses the red rope (front plane of island green) and goes OB, the next shot will be from the drop zone flagged at the end of the bridge. If a tee shot goes OB over a yellow roped area only, standard OB rules apply. After the tee shot, any shot that goes out of bounds, standard OB rules apply.
HOLE 5: Roped areas along right side of fairway next to fairway of hole 4 (generally only in play from the Blue Tee)
HOLE 6: Roped areas along Pine Lake
HOLE 7: No OB
HOLE 8: Surrounded by water (Pine Lake)
HOLE 9: Roped areas along right side of fairway and around chasm (near Long pin)
HOLE 10: No OB
HOLE 11: Roped areas on left of fairway along creek
HOLE 12, 13 & 14: No OB
HOLE 15: Roped areas along Pine Lake and along rough on left side approaching Long pin
HOLES 16,17 &18: No OB

HOLE 2 ISLAND PIN RULES:
Disc must come to rest in bounds on island (marked with wooden planks and rope). If disc does not land safely in bounds on island, either play from the edge of the lake where the Disc was last inbounds (regular OB rules) or proceed to drop zone with 1 stroke penalty. (alternate short tee by bridge). After 2 rethrows to the Island, if not safely in bounds, the player will move to the Drop Zone that is located on the Platform (Gold 3 Tee) on the Island.

HOLE 3 GOLD TEE RULES:
Disc must land safely in bounds (ropes along Pine Lake) from the drive. If a drive touches in bounds and then moves out of bounds, the player may take their next shot from the point the disc was last in bounds. If a drive does not land or touch in bounds from the Platform, the player has the option to retee or to move to the Hole 3 Blue Tee with a 1 stroke penalty (shooting 3). ONLY MPO, MA1, AND MA40 WILL BE PLAYING THE HOLE 3 GOLD TEE!

TEE ASSIGNMENTS:
Round 1: Reds to Shorts (All players)

Round 2:
MP0, MA1, MA40 – Blues to Longs with Gold #3 (Platform Tee)
MA50 – Whites to Longs (No Island Hole 2)
MA2, MA3 – Whites to Longs
FA1, FA2, MA4 – Reds to Longs (No Island on Hole 2)

HOLES WITH LONG PINS: 2 (Island), 9, 12, 15

ALL OBS INCUR A ONE STROKE PENALTY!! The Ropes play as lines, so a portion of the disc must be touching the area in bounds inside the rope to be considered safe. If there is any doubt, take a Provisional Shot and get a group consensus.
