Welcome to the Free State Fling presented by Innova. We're glad to be back at Bloomington East at Clinton Lake as last year was cancelled due to the historic flooding.

Attached are the Pin Placements, Distances, Pars and OB Rules. I will not be providing a hard copy. They are also listed in the PDGA online scoring app.
Also attached is a map (labeled as bathroom markers). The restroom with a Red X will be closed. The two restrooms with a circle will be open.
Scoring will be done digitally. Go to pdga.com/score (
https://www.pdga.com/apps/tournament/score/login ). Access code is railroad.
Your starting hole will be at the pdga event page,
https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/44557, no later than 6pm Friday.
After round one, there will be a 1 hour lunch break. YOU WILL NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DRIVE TO LAWRENCE FOR LUNCH. The Clinton Store (you drive past it just before the park) will be selling pulled pork sack lunches or Cobb salads.
Round 2 Start time and Hole Assignments will be found at the same pdga event page where you found Round 1 assignments.
There will be payouts and awards after the second round. All divisions have a First Place trophy, Intermediate has First and Second and Recreational has First, Second and Third.
Amateur payouts (except Recreational which is Player Pack and Trophy only) will be done onsite. Pro payouts will either be done by check (in person or mailed) or Paypal Goods and Services.
The weather looks to be good, but come prepared. Bring EXTRA water, more than you think you need. I would recommend bringing extra clothes. The grass will likely be wet from morning dew and you'll want dry shoes and socks for later. There is natural prairie which includes those annoying stick-tight seed thingies. Try to wear clothing that does attract them. Bring bug spray. We are at the tail end of tick season, but without a hard freeze, there are still ticks. Not a lot, but this isn't an urban park. Besides the prairie grass, several holes are in the woods.
If you have any questions before Saturday, please email me. If I'm awake, I'm usually fairly quick (i.e. less than one hour) with a reply. Come Saturday, it's better to text me if you can wait 5-15 minutes for a reply, or call if you need an answer right away.
