Good evening.
I wanted to get this tournament email out this evening. Cheryl and I are super excited about the Frosty Fling #5 that will be at Heritage Park. This event will be on Sunday, 2/11. This will be a 1 round PDGA C-tier that will shotgun start at 10a.
The following will be the most important details for the event. Please reach out to us if you have any additional questions or comments before the event. If you have any questions or issues in regards to the tournament, please text/call Cheryl at 513-348-6140. She'll be the TD for this event.
We are playing 18 holes at Heritage, although there are just a handful that are the original holes. I have provided a map to help with guidance. I will be out there Sunday morning to mark even better the course. It should be a fun and challenging day for everyone. If you go to Udisc, and click on the "Crossover So Long Layout", that is what we will be playing.
All course particulars are in PDGA live. The main OB is on/over the paved walking trails that weave around the course. Any standing water outside of the river will be deemed as casual relief with no penalty. This means, behind the water away from the basket. Your card should be in the discussion on casual water. This course drains better than most all local courses, so I don't think this should be an issue, plus we haven't had much rain in the last week.
The only holes that have something in them besides on/over paths are the following holes:
Hole 2 - You tee off from a temp tee. Hole 2 tee sign is a MANDO Left. You will see this straight ahead by the beginning of the bamboo forest on the hole. It is just to the left of Hole 1 basket. If you do not go left, you go to the original #2 tee pad as the drop zone with a stroke penalty.
Hole 7 - You tee off from a temp tee (#5's regular tee pad). Hole 7 tee sign is a MANDO right. You will see this straight ahead as well. If you go to the left of the sign, you will go to #7 regular tee pad and throw from it as the drop zone with stroke penalty.
Hole 11 - It is regular hole 11 and 12 combined. We will have a bag over the basket for regular hole 11.
Hole 18 - You will tee off from a temp tee. There is a grassy area in front of the tee before the next walking path. This is in direct line of the basket. If you land short of the walking trail, play it as a HAZARD by adding a stroke and playing it where it lies. The 2 sets of white/yellow poles are also going to be a double mando. If a player throws directly above, and it is not clearly decided by the group that it was outside the mando veriticality, then the PDGA motto applies: "benefit goes to the player".
PLEASE NOTE: TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF TEMP TEES ON GRASS, WE HAVE ELECTED TO USE THE WALKING PATH ON SEVERAL HOLES. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE ARE NOW USING WALKERS AREAS TO BENEFIT US. PLEASE BE CURTEOUS AND FRIENDLY TO PASSERBYS, AS WELL AS ALLOW THEM THE RIGHT AWAY. IF THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO WAIT A MINUTE, PLEASE DO IT. Luckily the temps will be lower to keep some of them at home, but regardless, please let them have access of the walking trail. Thank you in advance for that.
Please remember that in 2024 everyone needs to keep a form of scoring. At least needs to be PDGA live. We will have scorecards for those who might want to keep it this way.
All course particulars are in PDGA live. It is printed/shown in the picture section of the event. Go here: https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Crossovers_Frosty_Fling_5_2024
PDGA live code: heritage211
The schedule will look like this for the day:
9-950a player check in shelter
10a - Shotgun Start
Awards
Please check in with us at the shelter. You have to walk past it to go to the course, so there is no reason to not check in. If you tee off on holes 8-13, after you check in, feel free to go back to the first parking lot and go to your holes. It is a lot shorter walk. You only need to come back to the shelter if you think you are going to "cash".
We are not using the "foul lines" on the concrete pads. So please disregard them.
Cards will be made up with pace of play in mind. Some cards will be mixed based on numbers in divisions.
Also, just a reminder, that any junior younger than 13 must have a parent/guardian on their card. There are many juniors now signing up in non-junior divisions, so we don't always catch this beforehand. Please advise and follow the PDGA guidelines on junior players.
We are not going to have a players meeting. It is your responsibility to know what's expected for the day and be at your hole for the start of each round. Hole assignments will be posted Saturday morning. We have too often posted them the night before, then they change. It's easier with shotgun starts to just wait until the morning. Thanks for your understanding.
The link with hole assignments will be here: https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/77304
If you decide that this event is not for you, to receive a refund, you must withdraw by noon Saturday (2/10).
Following the round, please give us a few minutes to get everything organized so we can hand out awards and payouts. If you are curious if you are going to get a payout, it is the top 40% per division by the PDGA. That will help you determine if you need/want to stick around. The Open players will receive cash/PayPal, and the AM's Crossover Cash. This can be exchanged for disc golf merchandise that we will have on hand.
As posted in DGS, if no one hits an the ACE fund, we will donate it to the North Dearborn Pantry. In years past we have donated to them, and we want to keep that tradition alive. Winter Series are typically about donating to worthy causes, and it's important to us to do that as well.
In the event there is a tie for first place in a division, the playoff will start on hole #1 until there is a winner, playing the layout from round 1.
This is a PDGA event, so everyone should be up to date on the PDGA's stance on what is legal and what is not legal. Please don't put Cheryl or myself in position to make a call that we don't want to address, or should have to address.
It's going to be a great day. Please contact us with any questions you may have!
Thanks,
Josh and Cheryl
