Hello Everyone!
We just wanted to provide a couple updates as we are in our final preparations of course and tee times which we will have both ready to go tomorrow and I will send out our Final Player Email in the evening.
Couple updates:
Early Check-In Thursday will be cancelled. We have hit a snag and wont have all the pieces we need in time so all check in will happen on Friday.
AMATUER PLAYERS: All player pack pick up will happen at the Disc Revolution Course at Optimist Starting Friday. You can come before or after your round If you are at the Trash Panda Disc Golf Course at Pessimist, or Saturday. After Saturday all player pack pick up will be done and any left over items will be made available for sale to anyone who would like.
Thursday Doubles is cancelled. Our host unfortunately had to withdraw and I have not had anyone else available to step up in their place.
Tomorrow Tom and I will be out at both courses doing final prep work and working with Basil and his team to clean up any last minute needs.
We will have some bug spray on the check in tables this weekend. We ask that you come prepared with your own as well. The moisture, although great for us, brings out the mosquitos. It is currently not at plague level, just minor annoyance as they tend to be on wet disc golf courses.
Warm Up Areas: Once the first tees go off the course is closed, so 7:30am you can not be on either course playing or putting unless it is your tee time. When the final card gets off the course it is open again for practice.
Optimist Warm Up: There are open fields to throw and we will have a practice basket for putting near the starting hole.
Pessimist Warm Up: There is no field to throw in so we will put up our warm up throwing net near hole 1 as well as a practice basket for putting.
PESSIMIST PARKING: DO NOT PARK IN THE DIRT LOT NEAR HOLE 2, The Gate will be open at approximately 6:45am daily, you will pull through the gate and proceed to the open parking area behind the mound. Please use general logic to park, Do not just pick a random central spot in the center of the field. Also use caution as you pull in the gate, people may be coming up the fairway of hole 2.
Below you will find the details from the first 2 week email just to serve as a reminder:

Optimists should have a basket in all HPC pin placements. MANY holes will currently have multiple baskets in the line of sight, It is also a 27 Hole Course regularly so please keep that in consideration. Wednesday before the event we will work with Fort Morgan to remove the baskets that are not in play, this is specifically the case on holes 3-7-8-9-14 on the layout. The Layout for both Pro and Am are loaded to Udisc.
Pessimist is in its natural state and is playable except the OB Lines, Both Mandatories should be up currently although the one on 18 may need to be restaked if the storms have done any damage to that area.
Course Maps and Rules HERE: Shout out to our CO-TD Tom Hamilton for this year's HPC Art!
Tee Times will be posted Wednesday(June 7th) afternoon/evening. Preliminary tee times are posted in the image section on the Disc Golf Scene event page.
As always we will work to provide Water where feasible and logical on the course. BUT it's June, in Eastern Colorado, COME PREPARED WITH WAAAAY more water than you will ever need. Better to be Safe than sorry.
