FINALIZED EVENT OBS AND RULES

The 2021 Oderus Open OB / Rules Sheet

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 (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 in bounds (regular OB rules) or proceed to the drop zone (alternate short tee near bridge) with a 1 stroke penalty. After 2 rethrows to the Island (3 SHOTS TOTAL), if not safely in bounds, the player will move to the Drop Zone that is located near the stairs to the Platform on the Island. There are 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 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. There will be spotters on the Island for Round 2.

Also, there are still some areas with ropes where the water is past the in bounds areas. There are 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. If the lie is unclear, get a group consensus and take a provisional shot (if necessary).

TEE ASSIGNMENTS:
Round 1: Reds to Shorts (All players)
Round 2:
MP0, MA1, MA40 – Blues to Longs
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.


Sheets with this information will be provided to all players at check-in.

See you tomorrow!
