EVENT LAYOUT UPDATE!!!!
It was noticed last week that there was a bee's nest on the platform. After treating it 3 times, we were hoping that it would be enough to take care of the nest. But as of today, they are still active and will swarm when on the platform. So we have decided that the Gold #3 Tee will not be in play for the 2nd round for the MPO, MA1, and MA40 divisions. They layout for those groups will be a standard Blues to Longs
As for the Island, there is still some areas of standing water near the OB ropes and planks. In most areas, it is a few feet off of the OB lines. I really really really want the Island to be in play, so I am going to flag a drop zone near the path to the Platform stairs that players may use with no penalty if their lie forces them to stand in water that will get their shoes entirely wet during their putt. This is about a 25 foot put and in most instances where there is standing water, it may be farther than where you lie is at. So it will be player's choice to either putt from the lie or to move to the drop zone with no penalty. This will also be the same drop zone used after 3 shots are taken to the Island pin that do not land safely in bounds (per the posted and provided up rules), as the Platform has been deemed unplayable due to the bee's nest.
Also, there are still some areas with ropes where the water is past the in bounds areas. There's some areas on 2, 3, 6, and 15 that could have this, especially with the possibility of more rain. The ropes will still play as the OB lines. But if a disc is in bounds but surrounded by water, the player is allowed casual relief to the edge of the water directly in line with their shot.
Updated OB sheets will be provided with all rules and these special cases will be discussed during the MANDATORY PLAYERS MEETING.
