Oak Island

Thanks for attending the event everyone.

Schedule. Check in starts at 8am. I’ll be near the entrance next to hole 1. Everyone MUST check in. This is extremely important with only 3 players in a card. IF ONLY TWO SHOW UP ON A CARD WE’LL HAVE TO MOVE STUFF AROUND! We will do a players meeting at 8:40. 2 minutes at 8:58 and start at 9.

As far as the layout, MPO and MA1 will be playing long pads both rounds everyone else will be playing shorts. The holes that have short pads are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17 and 18.

Round one hole assignments are posted at https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/58518

We will be doing live scoring. PDGA.com/score code is oak. If you have two guys keep score on live it will not allow you to enter different scores so it’s easy to verify. If you do this please make sure BOTH guys confirm after the round and submit the score card.

Payouts:

Pro payouts will be handled digitally.

If it’s raining like it’s supposed to then amateur payouts will also be handled digitally through our website with gift cards emailed to the winners. We will have some discs on hand in case the weather clears up and can do amateur payouts on site but just wanted to make sure you’re all aware of the potential for digital.

Weather potential:

As we all know by now the weather is looking “great”. If it’s just raining, play will continue as planned. If there is lightning then we will have to do a 30 minute delay. I’ll have a air horn, if there is lightning two long horns means to immediately stop play and head for shelter. Then once clear I’ll announce to start again.

If there are multiple lightning delays we will get as many holes in as possible to complete the tournament. We of course don’t want to shorten the tournament but if we have to take all day to get in 18 holes with delays we will complete the event after that. Even if it’s only 9 holes that’s what we’ll do. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

Mud, Play casual if you can’t play from it. If you can’t go straight back to a safe spot and can’t throw from your lie then you have to throw from your previous spot

If you are a newer player here are a few things you might want to know more about.


Check out tourney rules on pdga https://www.pdga.com/rules/competition-manual-disc-golf-events
3 minute rule, if the entire card is looking for a disc for 3 minutes the disc is declared lost and you must either throw from where it went OB if there is OB or you must throw from your previous lie with a 1 stroke penalty.
During tournament rounds there is no practice allowed, even if there is a backup you can’t practice by throwing or putting.
If you are late to your tee time and you miss holes, you will take a par +4 on each hole that you miss. You cannot play the holes later or try and play them to catch up to your card.
There must be a minimum of 3 players on your card. If enough players don’t show up to make 3 then you need to split and go to a different card.
Mini or marker, you can’t pick up your disc to throw the same disc without using a mini. The other option would be to throw a different disc and leave your previously thrown disc where is landed and throw behind it.
Provisional - a provisional is a throw that is used when you don’t know something for sure. For example on an Island hole, if your disc is close to being in bounds but you can’t tell from the tee, you can call a provisional and throw again in order to save you time from potentially walking back to the tee if you get to the island and your disc is out of bounds. Another example would be if you and your card mates can’t agree on if your inbound on a certain shot, you can play a provisional and play it both ways then come to the tournament director after the round to discuss with your card.
Payouts, if you are playing amateur, after the final round of the tournament is done we will calculate the winnings which normally takes 15-20 minutes and then we will announce all of the individuals that earned a payout for each division, if you are in the top 40% of your division you will more than likely receive some sort of merchandise credit to be used that day on Discs, Sunglasses, Apparel, etc..
