Hey everyone,

It's shaping up to be a beautiful day for the Van Buren Flex Start tomorrow! I'm looking forward to wrapping up the Syracuse Open flex start series! There are still spots available to play in The Syracuse Open on June 8-9 (get on the waitlist if you're a Pool B player): https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/2024_Syracuse_Open_2023.

Thanks as always to our title sponsor Meier's Creek Brewing Company!

Thanks also to tournament sponsor Sal's New York Style Pizza & Restaurant, where you should go for post-round food and drink (please consider supporting those who support us!).

Thanks, of course, to our vending sponsor Rapid Rivers Disc Golf, which will be running a big sale on MVP tomorrow! A note from our guy Josh McClennon: "Hey all! Josh from Rapid Rivers It's Moving MVP in March on Memorial Day Weekend - HUGEEEEEE discount on MVP 25% off all current stock! Still have a good selection of both waves of the OTB release! Come buy me out of my MVP! Use up your credit before it expires!"

And thanks to our event sponsors: David Ibbitson, Tim Bower, Corey Phinney, Rob Sweet, Robert Virginia, Karin Falcone, Guy Falcone, John Fiutko, Ron Tyre, Angela Van Gorder, Richards Van Gorder, Eric Trippany and Andrew Smiley!

Here's everything you need to know for tomorrow:

Live scoring

pdga.com/score; password: vbflex

Everyone must keep score this year, per PDGA rules (full list of 2024 updates here: https://www.pdga.com/news/pdga-official-rules-disc-golf-and-competition-manual-updated-2024). Paper cards will be available at tournament HQ.

Parking

Please park either in the top lot or on the park road leading toward the lodge, where tournament HQ will be set up. People parking on the lodge road should drive in and then turn left to park on the grass facing up the hill (perpendicular to the road). This will allow us to maximize that space.

When the top lot starts to get full, please start a middle island row of cars.

The lower gate will be locked at 8 p.m., though there is really no need to park down there to begin with.

Check-in

Please arrive at least 20 minutes before your tee time. Ams can pick up their event-stamped disc. Cash/PayPal buy-ins for the ace pool will be taken (over $900 already!). Raffle for a BX3 grip bag will be going to benefit the CNYDGA (cash/PayPal accepted). 2024-25 club memberships will also be for sale!

Layout/OB

Hole-by-hole OB is on PDGA. The course is mapped on UDisc.

Some friendly reminders...

We are playing the original basket location on Hole 5 NOT the pin location that is going in about 150 feet left
We are playing a temp tee on Hole 8 from the park road.
We are playing a temp tee on Hole 13 from the park road.
We are playing the new Par 4 tee location on Hole 16, just across the bridge from 15.

All-am CTP

There will be an all-amateur CTP on Hole 3 with the winner taking home a $100 credit to Rapid Rivers!
