Hello everyone! Sorry for all the announcements but I have 3 more things I wanted to bring up. Please read all the way through:
1. Out of Bounds:
I have gotten questions to clarify this since in past Phillips Park leagues, the OB has been different. The official OB is as follows:
• On/over the path at the bottom of the hill
• On/over the road and parking lot at the top of the hill
• On any playground equipment (near hole 6)
• On the tennis and basketball courts (near hole 6)
I’m sure there are some areas that I am overlooking, but I will walk the course later this afternoon and make a more extensive list. With this being said, the following places are in bounds unless superseded by one of the areas listed prior:
• The lot down by hole 2’s basket
• The stairs going through the middle of the course
• The path that goes through hole 7.
This league is brand new so it may take some time to work out all the kinks. As a result, it’s possible that the OB areas will change, but I will do my best to keep everybody informed.
2. Hole 3 Tee Pad:
Since the new asphalt path was built at the bottom of the hill, this teepad often gets flooded. As a result, I am allowing players to tee off from the asphalt path. If a player chooses to do so, they must be between imaginary lines extended from the front and back of the existing teepad (see pictures). Unfortunately, I am not allowed to mark the area so it is up to each card to enforce this rule. Players may elect to tee off from this area whether or not the existing teepad is flooded. Since the tee area is technically OB, it should be noted that if a player’s disc never goes in bounds on their throw, the player must rethrow from the tee with a penalty stroke. I am hoping some time in the relatively near future, we will be able to put a new teepad in higher up the hill that doesn’t constantly flood.
3. Park Etiquette:
Please be mindful of other park users; they have just as much right to the park as disc golfers. NEVER throw if there is ANY chance your disc could hit someone. Also be careful throwing the disc on holes 3-5 as there are people’s homes directly adjacent to the course. The league directors are not liable for any property damage or bodily harm caused by a disc golfer. Please leave the course better than you find it. If you can, pick up trash and toss fallen tree limbs off the fairway. If the city sees us use the park appropriately, they will be more willing to work with us to improve the course.
