Welcome to the 14th Annual LoCo Open!
First and foremost, we'd like to thank you for registering for the 2025 LoCo Open. Thank you for all the support! This is the club's premier event and we are excited to have you come out and compete at beautiful Clark's Run DGC and the (new) Lefty's Farm Course at Flying Ace.
This year we are introducing Flying Ace. If you see Pete Thomas - thank him! This place is pretty special and he's graciously opened it up to us for the event. This really is a fun track and complements Clark's Run in every aspect. We hope you love it as much as the club does. This is a new course and shows a ton of promise for good things to come.
We'll keep this nice and simple for you:
Official Tee Times and Hole assignments can be found on the PDGA Event Site. However, please note that Tee Times could change depending on add/drops etc. Please double-check the morning of the event.
Please review the Attached Player Notes for detailed information. This gives you an opportunity to review it and ask questions in advance of your scheduled tee time.
Depending on the course, OB will either be marked by white paint lines or flagged and roped. Pages 8 - 11 spell out the hole by hole detail for each course. Additionally, there will be a quick Q&A before you tee off.
We will be using the PDGA Live app as the official scorecard. You can download the app on the App Store or Google Play or just use the web app at pdga.com/score. Instructions are provided inside the attached notes (page 3) and questions will be answered before you tee off. Everyone must keep a scorecard. Paper scorecards are available upon request by responding to this email. Please have paper scorecard requests in by Friday, September 26, at noon.
The access code for live scoring is: GoneLoCo2025
All of the OB rules for the event are defined on the digital Scorecard. The Digital Scorecard serves as the official hole instruction.
Should an OB line not be visible, the default event fall back for OB is always surrounded by water. We're confident there's no ambiguity.
Clark's Run Player check-in is located near the pond by Hole 2 (under the really big tent). Flying Ace Player check-in is located in the white event building near Hole 1.
Please check-in 15 minutes prior to your assigned Tee Time.
Please report to the starting hole 5 minutes prior to your starting Tee Time.
Parking is tight at Freedom Center. Lets please fill up the main lot first. After that we will fill the North parking lot.
Do not park on the main road or across the street in the neighborhood.
We are always looking for volunteers to help with parking. If you have an hour to spare, please let Chris, Robert, Sully or I know.
Flying Ace has plenty of parking capacity - there should be no issues there.
Smoking and Drinking at Freedom Center is strictly prohibited per property owners' explicit direction. It is private property...please respect that. It's only a single round...we know you can wait. Thanks in advance! In addition, Please do not cross the street to smoke in the neighborhood; it causes friction with the community.
I'll post an update the night before the event. So more to come.
Players Packs: We have everything ready to go. We will provide the players packs at Flying Ace when you check in or at the Players Party.
Also, we had to place the shirt order in early August (4). At that point we only had 124 folks signed up. So I placed the order with some buffer based on last year's numbers. I ordered 200 shirts. However, the numbers have shifted greatly especially with all the add/drops. So now I don't know how close some of the totals will be on sizes. We'll do the best we can..
Players Party: After your round on Saturday, come on over to Flying Ace! Grab a beer, get some awesome Monks BBQ. It'll be a ton of fun.
Play-offs (play-offs?!): Should a tie occur the following (hole) format will be followed for playoffs:
Clark's Run: competitors will compete in sudden death play on Holes 2, 9,10, 17, 18 & then 1 in that order and repeat until there is a winner.
Flying Ace: competitors will compete in sudden death play on Holes 1 through 7 and repeat until there is a winner.
Additional Stuff happening:
First Dream Disc Golf is in town. Lauren and Alex are hosting a Flex C-Tier on Friday (9/25) at Clark's Run. Come on out if available for some added competition!

I'm pretty sure they'll be vending as well!
Grit Discs will be on site vending this weekend at Flying Ace
We will have an additional guest coming in to show off a prototype new basket (center pole-less basket) they are working on. I'm curious to find out more. Will post when I have more details.
Still have a question? Reply to this email or ask a TD before you tee off. We will have last minute fun stuff coming in the next day or so to announce. Pete's evil genius is at work with some ideas. More to follow.
We look forward to seeing you all on Saturday, (We're super excited that it's almost show time!!)
In all seriousness; We sincerely want to thank our sponsors and all the volunteers that supported putting on this event. A ton of work went into both courses and our sponsors help us elevate this event. Our goal is to make this our big event of the year and truly feel like an A-tier in every way. We do this for you as a club. We hope you have a blast, and please know we absolutely love hosting you.
