I have spent time reviewing the Ohio public health orders and the recent stay home order amendment issued by the ODH. Unfortunately, it is pretty clear to me that we are not allow to run an organized league in-person until told otherwise.

I am not willing to accept the possible legal consequences of organizing and running a conventional league (in person) at this time. However, I would be open to running weekly tournaments over Facebook similar to what they are doing in Columbus right now (organized by Ben Creger).

I would run the tournaments as follows:

- Weekly tournaments on Thursdays at Veteran's DGC or Lakeview DGC (same times and locations as normal league)
- Course layouts posted Thursday mornings on the PDGC Facebook page.
- Players must pay via Paypal by 5pm the day of the round. CASH WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AT ANY TIME
- Players make their own cards of 3-4 players.
- Players play tournament round on Thursday between 5pm-9pm.
- Players send scores to me for result tabulation via picture of scorecard or screenshot of Udisc scores.
- All players listed on scorecard (First and Last Names) must have posted payment by 5pm on Thursday in order for scores to be counted (unless discussed with me in advance).
- Payouts via payal by 12 noon the following day.
- Scores and payout information to be posted on DGC and recorded in a Google Sheet like always.
- No ACE fund or Skins to keep things simple this season. Side bets and the $5/$1 club will be encouraged.

There will be two divisions:

PROFESSIONAL:
- $10 buy in: $1 to PDGC and $9 to payouts.
- Scratch scores only (no handicap)
- 20% field payout (rounding up) according to a predetermined payout chart.

AMATEUR:
- $6 buy in: $1 to PDGC and $5 payouts.
- Scratch scores only (no handicap)
- 30% field payout (rounding up) according to a predetermined payout chart

Let me know if there is interest in this and we can start next week, May 7th at Lakeview and follow the current league schedule. Questions, comments, rule changes, etc. are encouraged.

Thank you,
