Good morning St. Louis Open Competitors!
First of all thank you so very much for signing up to compete in the 20th Annual St. Louis Open! We're excited to host you for our largest event of the year. This is a lengthy email but be sure to read through all of it as it contains a ton for relevant information.
Sanctioned Practice Round
Thursday All Day Flex PDGA League at Willmore
Check-In (Player Pack Pickup)
Check-in will be tonight, Thursday, hosted at 4 Hands Brewery (1220 S 8th St, St. Louis, MO 63104) from 4:00 PM - 9:00 PM (this is at the 4 Hands in St. Louis downtown). For player pack pickup, we will be set up outside in the parking lot and it will be a drive through process.The drive through starts at the link provided for 4 Hands. Drive through our check-in to get your player pack, and then you can grab yourself a parking spot to enjoy a cold beverage with friends. Check-in is not necessary for professional players, but you are more than welcome to join in on the fun! Amateurs, if you cannot make it to check in, you can pick up your player packs Saturday night at the player party or Sunday at voucher redemption (more below for both). You may also reply to this email with an authorized party that can pick up your player pack for you (please do this sooner rather than later).
Tee Times
Tee times all weekend will start at 8:30 AM and the larger pools will run until about 1:30 PM. The first pass at Friday tee times are posted on the PDGA page. Between now and Friday morning, it's possible there will be some shifting but we'll send out an email later this evening to confirm the tee times are finalized (of course, it never hurts to check in the morning as well). Remember that per the PDGA rules
, you must check in with your TD no less than 5 minutes prior to your tee time and if you are not there in time, you can be penalized with two penalty throws.
Course Rules
- Logan: Please do not park on the grass or go into the lakes to retrieve discs. These are rules that Logan's security team will enforce (cars will be towed if parked on grass). We will be scheduling a diver to gather the discs in the water after the STLO - all discs found will be posted (Facebook) and inked discs will be contacted (make sure to put your phone number on them).
- Carrollton: We will be blocking off the road that runs between holes 1, 9, and 10. This is to prevent cars being in the way or being hit by discs. Please do not park on this road. The Natural Bridge exit off of Highway 70 was closed today (Thursday) so please give yourself extra time to commute to Carrollton.
- For all courses, once the first card tees off at 8:30 AM, the whole course is closed. During this time, you will need to warm up off of the course. This can be at the practice basket, throwing net, or open space near, but not on, the course.
- Course Guides - This is a Google Drive link where we will keep the most up-to-date and accurate course guides (also attached a PDF of the current version), these are also included here along with some other helpful documents.
Player Party and Raffle
We'll be hosting a player party on Saturday night from 5:30 PM - 9:00 PM at Logan where we'll have music, food, beverages, a flymart with a ton of vendors, and we'll hold the STLO raffle drawing. The 4 Hands Putting League will also be hosting a putting competition during the party - it is free to play with cash payouts to win ($300 provided by the STLDGC, split across three divisions: Professional, Amateur, and Women's)!
Awards and Payouts
Professional players will be paid via PayPal (to your registration email or email provided in notes so please ensure this is accurate) following the tournament while amateur players will be paid in St. Louis Disc Golf Club vouchers. These vouchers and the St. Louis Disc Golf Club inventory (where they can be redeemed) will be available on Sunday at the Logan pavilion. All trophies will be at your finishing courses and projected payouts are published to the PDGA page.
Volunteers, Sponsors, and Coverage
- All volunteers will be wearing bright blue STAFF shirts so they can be easily identified (TDs, helpers, spotters, etc). Be sure to thank them and treat them with respect as they are volunteering their time to make your tournament experience smooth and easy.
- Lead card of MPO will have post-produced Crew 42 coverage so be on the lookout for it!
- This tournament wouldn't be possible without our sponsors so please make sure to thank and support them as well: MVP Disc Sports, Logan University, 4 Hands Brewery, Gateway Discs, Stonemaier Games, City of Bridgeton, St. Louis City Parks, and St. Louis County Parks! Also a huge thank you to anyone who purchased a hole sponsor - players, keep an eye out while you're on the course!
While this email has a ton of information, we will be sending more emails throughout the week as events become closer and more relevant (such as further details on the player party, raffle, voucher redemption, etc). Thank you for reading all of this and we will see you soon!
