Week 4 --- PUNDERSON!!!

Week 4 is also our League Finale and will take us to the gem of a course at Punderson. All competitors will be Red tees, with A and B Pools playing Reds to Longs (including the Island Pin on Hole 2), and C Pool playing Reds to Shorts. Long pins are on holes 2, 9, 12, and 15. The Red to Long par is 59, with Red to Short at a par of 54. Below you will find the OBs for each hole and rules for the Island Pin on Hole 2 for the A and B players:

Course OBs in Play:

Hole 1 - Pine Lake (behind basket)

Hole 2- Pine Lake (along right of fairway and near short pin -- see bottom of OB list for special rules for Island pin)

Hole 3 - Pine Lake (along right of fairway)

Hole 4 - Red and Yellow roped areas around creek on right, left of fairway (divides hole 4 and 9 )and around the "green" of the basket (generally the creek on the left but also rope on the right that separates hole 4 and 5) -- to keep it easy, all shots will be played from where the disc went OB rather than using the drop zone rule (which gets complicated)

Hole 5- No OB

Hole 6 - Pine Lake (along right of fairway)

Hole 7 - No OB

Hole 8 - Pine Lake (along left of fairway and green)

Hole 9 - Yellow ropes dividing hole 9 and 4 on the right side and the "chasm" area for those playing the Long Pin

Hole 10 - No OB

Hole 11 - Yellow roped areas on the left of fairway (creek area)

Hole 12 - No OB

Hole 13 - No OB

Hole 14 - No OB

Hole 15 - Pine Lake

Hole 16 - No OB

Hole 17 - No OB

Hole 18 - No OB

For any OB listed as Pine Lake, ignore the ropes that are along the lake and use "surrounded by water" as the OB rule. If you disc is not surrounded by water, it is considered in bounds. This comes into play on holes 2,3, 6, and 15.

As with any OB rule, a one shot penalty is incurred for each shot that goes OB. You are allowed a meter off the OB area for shots that go OB and those that are close to OB.

Hole 2 Island Rules: The in bounds area on the island is inside the wooden planks and the roped areas on the left (near the bridge). A disc must be inside the planks. If it lands on the planks or touching the outside of the planks, it is not considered in bounds. The disc has to come to rest on the island. If it skips off after touching in bounds but goes OB, the shot is considered OB. Two shots can be taken to reach the island. If the two shots do not land safely, the player will move to the Gold Tee for Hole 3 (on the platform) for their next shot, and incur a one stroke penalty for each shot that goes OB. This is the same condition for those who attempt to reach the island off the tee. If a player does this, and misses twice, they would be moving to the drop zone shooting their 5th shot (and most likely be taking a double bogey and a score of 6 on the hole). This will hopefully cut back on lost discs and prevent people from continually throwing at the island.

I know this is a lot, but it is standard for the course, which makes it one of the most fun and challenging courses in Ohio. My suggestion is to use this post for reference during your round to check any possible questions you may have.

Rounds start this coming Friday!! Let's close this league out with some great scores!!!
