WEATHER:
Saturday looks like it will be a beautiful pre-fall day with temps in the upper 70s and mostly sunny. We are bringing a bunch of bottles of water but you should still bring water and stay hydrated. We are not expecting any adverse weather this weekend.

SCORING:
ALL players (or their caddies) are required to keep score. This is a helpful page: https://www.pdga.com/news/how-score-2024-player-td-guidance
Most will embrace the changes and use their phones as the PDGA app is awesome and very useful for more than just keeping score. Those who are stuck in the past and insist on writing down their scores will be provided with a stone tablet and a chisel so that they can record scores. No... not really. Players who request a paper scorecard will be ridiculed mercilessly but they will receive them.
LIVE SCORING:
You can access the PDGA Live App or website: http://www.pdga.com/score
The code is: OldAirport
Then you log in with your name or PDGA#, choose Player/Caddie and you are all set. Follow the instructions on the screen.
LAYOUTS and COURSE NOTES:
Calvert Road DGC is currently set up in tournament layout.
The parking lot and roads surrounding the park are always OB. The creek that runs along 14 and 18 is casual water and not out of bounds.
Drop Zones have been marked by the Mandos on the course. Mandos are RED ARROWS only with the exception of hole 1 which is a white wooden arrow. Please ignore any other arrows painted on trees.
These notes apply to both layouts:
Hole 1 – Mando to the Right of the Owl Statue. Must go right of ALL of the bamboo.
Hole 2
Hole 3
Hole 4
Hole 5 - Mando Left of Marked Tree(s) (applies to White and Blue pads)
Hole 6 - Double Mando
Hole 7
Hole 8
Hole 9
Hole 10 – PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE HORNET’S NEST IN THE TREE WITH THE HOLE IN IT. 5 METERS RELIEF IS ALLOWED FROM THIS TREE IN A LINE STRAIGHT BACK ON THE LINE OF PLAY.
Hole 11 - Mando Right of Marked Tree
Hole 12
Hole 13 – Long Basket
Hole 14
Hole 15
Hole 16
Hole 17 – Mando Left of Marked Tree to Straight Basket
Hole 18
PLEASE NOTE: As you will see on Saturday (if you haven’t noticed already), a giant tree came down on hole 14 Tuesday night after doubles. Calvert has several trees in the park that are aging and they do drop branches and more from time to time. While we are not expecting any wind or weather on Saturday that could produce more falling debris, it is always a good idea to remain aware of your surroundings.
RAFFLE TICKETS:
Raffle tickets will be available at Calvert at check-in and through awards. We have a couple of portable Innova baskets, three bags, tournament discs, extra discs, three stools and more in our raffle for this year. The raffle will be pulled prior to awards. You do NOT need to be present to win. Raffle prizes will be available at Calvert for pick-up for those who are not in attendance during the raffle. If you cannot get to Calvert, we will make arrangements for you to collect your prize. If you are not sure that you will stick around for the raffle, you are encouraged to put your full name and phone number or your PDGA # on your raffle tickets so that you can be notified if you win. Prices are $1 each or 6 for $5.
It is entirely possible that we have forgotten something. If we didn't cover something that you are needing to know – and especially if you think others should know it - please do not hesitate to contact me by replying to this email or picking up the phone and giving Sam a call at 971-645-6371. Or text... because that is easier. If anything comes up that bears repeating, I will send a follow-up email.
Thank you all again and I can’t wait for some great competition!
