Meier Lake Classic participants,



We are very excited about seeing everyone at Meier Lake in less than two weeks! It is hard to believe that the event is so close.



You will be part of history. The largest PDGA event in Alaska history was the 7th Annual King of the Hill event in 2017 which had 85 competitors. The Meier Lake Classic currently has 117 players signed up to play making it the largest sanctioned disc golf event in Alaska history!



I have attached a copy of the course map. The course has two tees on every hole (except for #17 which has one tee on a dock). The course has a white basket and a blue basket on each hole. The white basket is shorter than the blue basket on each hole. The only OB on the course is the lake and roads and beyond. Roads and beyond will only come into play on holes 17 & 18.



Layouts used during the week:

Wednesday Random Draw Doubles: Everyone will play the short tees to the white baskets

Thursday Random Draw Doubles: Everyone will play the long tees to the blue baskets

Battle Under the Midnight Sun (Friday): Everyone will play the short tees to the blue baskets

Meier Lake Classic First Round (Saturday): All Open and Advanced divisions will play the long tees to the blue baskets. All Intermediate, Recreational, and Junior divisions will play the short tees to the blue baskets.

Meier Lake Classic Second Round (Sunday): All Open and Advanced divisions will play the long tees to the white baskets. All Intermediate, Recreational, and Junior divisions will play the short tees to the white baskets.

2. Take a COVID-19 test when you arrive in Alaska, and self-quarantine until results arrive.
