Hey Dan,

After reading the rules, I have a couple questions/comments/concerns about the individual hole rules and was hoping you would help me out with some of them :D (These are all from the blue layout)

Hole 7: It is possible (It has happened to me multiple times) Where you get a nasty left kick, and end up in/over the road on the left, possibly under a car. However, because there is an open field there, it is (probably) better to play it out as opposed to re-teeing. I think the solution might be to make it OB over the road, encouraging the player to re-tee if that happens.

Hole 10: OB left in the creek and OB right over the road go to the drop zone, but if you are in the woods on the left, the best you can do on your shot is get to the red tee, worst is that you're still in the woods or you throw OB in the road. Therefore, a shot that is OB is LESS punished than a shot that lands in bounds in the trees. Would be nice if there was just a ~200 ft OB clear (put a line like 50 ft behind the red tee) instead of that woods bit being in bounds (Or allow people to go to the drop zone from any first lie).

Hole 11: It says to "Re-Tee if OB on your drive" I assume this is supposed to also say "If you never cross in bounds" because you could establish a lie if you cross in bounds.

Hole 18: There is nothing in here about the river on the left being OB, just checking that it hasn't changed.

SH4: What does the phrase "touching any part of the wall" mean? If there is a rock that is touching the wall, and your disc is touching that rock is it in-bounds? i.e. leaning on a rock on the left side of the wall?

Beach 2: When it says "You may NOT throw your tee shot way right
towards the building to avoid the woods", the players can do that without missing the Mando. They can do exactly that without breaking any PDGA rules. If someone does it, I am unsure if you can stroke them, because there was no rule broken. The way to fix it is just push the Mando up further.

General taking casual relief: For the lifeguard chairs and grills, casual relief means straight back, but how much space back do we get? My follow-thru could be up to my wingspan in front of the disc, so do I get to take it 5ish feet back?

Thanks so much dan! Very excited for this event! Gonna be a blast :D
