Ryan Preston When will the AMs receive their payout? I haven't received anything through my email yet. Nov 29, 2023

Rick Wilcox Nov 30, 2023 What email address should we be searching for?

Brenda Wiltgen Dec 1, 2023 It'll come from the Disc Store.

Rick Wilcox Dec 1, 2023 Thanks Brenda. Found it! For those who might need to search...the email was in my spam on 11/20 from [email redacted]

Eric Pritt I'll tell you what, I have never been so sore the day after a tournament before Nov 20, 2023

Brenda Wiltgen Nov 20, 2023 Sore means you had fun :)

Jay Wilkes Shoutout to Brenda. Thank you for putting this together! Nov 19, 2023

Teague Hopkins PDGA App lists a tee time of 8am, but the schedule here says player's meeting at 9am. I'm assuming the schedule here is correct, but wanted to double check. Nov 19, 2023

Brenda Wiltgen Nov 19, 2023 The app defaults to 8am and I have not figured out how to change it. Expect to tee off around 9am.

Teague Hopkins Nov 19, 2023 Perfect, thanks!

Reuben Torres If anyone finds a yellow and white Halo star wraith with a Bluemont Bruiser fundraiser stamp on hole 5 (past the basket), I’d greatly appreciate it if you’d let me know! Thank you. Nov 18, 2023

Travis Lageman Nov 14, 2023 Thx so much Brenda! Really appreciate it. I’m assuming back 5 is just what we call it but you can actually practice all 18? Just want to make sure I understand. Thx!

Brenda Wiltgen Nov 15, 2023 Yeah, the "Back Five" simply refers to Holes 10-14 of the ball golf course. It's their lingo and they will understand what you are saying.

Tyler Farr Nov 10, 2023 How did it go?

Brenda Wiltgen Nov 11, 2023 I'm sorry to report that the course will not be available for play before the tournament.

Eric Pritt Hole 13... if you land short of the OB it's safe. Second shot if you cross the island and then land OB, you go to the DZ, or do you play from where you last crossed, and the DZ is just if you never cross the island at all? Nov 4, 2023
