I have gotten a mountain of questions already and I will try to respond as best as I can. I just got off the phone with PDGA Event Support to discuss and here is what we discussed:
Refunds: Refunds are handled by NADGT and NADGT has stated that if you request a refund, you will receive a 100% refund. If you still want to play, come out.
Safety: Safety is the TOP PRIORITY for these events. For each strike of lightning, we have to delay the event by 30 minutes from an all clear. I am tracking the storm via weather channel and weatherbug, and there is a 70% chance of lightning until between 10:30 and 11:00am. Tee pads are going to be wet and portions of the course may be flooded. We need at least 30 minutes after the last lightning strike to begin check-in. With each of you playing with groups of 5, each round will take 3.5-4 hours. There is not enough time to check in, play 2 rounds, and have a lunch break before dark.
Start Time Delay: The reason we are delaying the start time is to give the course time to dry out. Weather is often unpredictable and it is hard to make a judgment call of exactly when we can start after a delay.
I understand that many of you traveled here to play this event and got up early, etc. It's a huge bummer that this event couldn't proceed as planned. Please understand that we are doing the best we can to mitigate the situation.
