Update: If this gets deleted, I’ll just assume it wasn’t read or considered earnestly. And if that’s the route the TD wants to go, that’s fine too. No skin off my teeth. Otherwise, sharing some thoughts below.
To be clear; nothing against this guy, just calling it how I see it. It would be cool if he could look in the mirror and raise his hand on something that could have been avoided with a little effort on the front end. Instead he’s deleting civil comments that point out the inconsistency in his adjudication of the tournament (I didn’t write the caddie guide nor the comments on PDGA Live). But when these issues were raised mid-round and little to no consideration was given to the notion that there might have been a mix-up; I withdrew from the tournament.
All this to be said; I’m a man of action, and feel there were ample solutions that are in line with the official rules and regulations of disc golf:
Hold a players meeting prior to the round to outline any deviations from what’s historically been played (per 811.A.1).
Remove the hole’s score and double up on Sunday’s round of the same course. Within the TD’s power prior to the finalization of the final round (per 801.03.C & 808.G.1).
Was any of this discourse had? No. Instead the TD wanted to set the record straight on my original post that MA1 didn’t play longs at last year’s BHMO (spoiler; I looked at the tournament. 488ft Par 4… we played longs).
Now, in keeping with my self-proclaimed title of Man of Action, with the next two days wide open, I’m happy to show what this process could’ve looked like. I’ll build the kind of clear, division-specific caddie guide that outlines tee assignments, OB rules, and any deviations from past years. The type of material that should be distributed before play begins. Heck, I’ll have it wrapped before the final card drops Sunday.
This ends one of two ways: the comment gets deleted without being read, or we turn it into something useful; an actual working example of what tournament prep should look like for an A Tier.
For those who wondered, this was the deleted comment, “Update: 2 stroke penalty with zero TD accountability. Would hate to have assessed myself to be OB on hole 9 seeing as there is no notation in PDGA Live.”

As promised, a man of action returns. Please note, this is my tomfoolery and not an official tournament caddy guide, just the final page in my journey before I emerge from the cocoon and spread my wings. All official decisions remain solely at the TD’s discretion.

First time putting one of these together. Kind of fun, turns out it’s nothing someone couldn’t knock out in a weekend.
