Will Hudson May 18, 2024 Larry, the caddy book said MPO and MA1 are playing all yellow baskets except hole 10. Is that correct?

Larry Burge May 18, 2024 Yes, The MPO and MA1 layout for Sunshine Oaks is all yellow baskets except hole 10. You are playing the red basket on 10.

Bruce MacDonald May 24, 2024 Found it....confirmed 9:00 am. Good night.

Matthew Gardner I had an orange zone go in the water beside the basket at hole 14 at UAH yesterday. I went back after the round and it was gone. No one turned it in. If you got it I would really like it back. Thanks ill PayPal you to mail it. May 27, 2024

Larry Burge May 28, 2024 Collin Shorey took all of the disc that were turned in during the tournament. He will be contacting the owners that he can identify.

Z Gates So…y’all played JHP 3 rounds? You probably could have gotten me to donate to that cause. Also: who won? PDGA has a tie b/w Schultz and Barsby standing. May 27, 2024

Larry Burge May 27, 2024 Barsby won on the second hole of the playoff

Clint Riner Where can we pick players pack if we did not get it yet? May 25, 2024

Rooster Cooper May 25, 2024 John Hunt, I believe.

Larry Burge As of now we are still on for 9:00 May 25, 2024

Larry Burge I am monitoring the current weather situation and will make a decision on a delay by 7:30 AM.
May 25, 2024

Larry Burge I have been advised that many of you missed the emails I sent regarding the weather delay. Apparently, they got stuck in spam folders. Please check your spam setting so that you can get emails from [email redacted]

Ron Wilkins Course picture on the tournament page shows pool B playing to the Yellow baskets on Sharron Johnson, Caddie Book says to the short baskets. I assume the caddie book is correct but bringing it to y’all’s attention. May 24, 2024

Larry Burge May 25, 2024 MA1 is playing to the longs, MA40 and MA50 are playing shorts

Larry Burge May 25, 2024 I never updated the pictures after I made the change

Larry Burge Restart at 2:00. We will blow a two minute warning at 1:58 May 24, 2024

Michael Robie May 24, 2024 Will PDGA Live update the tee times according to the delay?

Larry Burge The earliest possible restart time is 2:00 PM. I will post a message to Live scoring at 1:30 if that time holds. May 24, 2024

Dalton Killingsworth If we come across a scenario where the caddy book rules and PDGA app rules don’t match, which one should we abide by? May 24, 2024

Larry Burge May 24, 2024 PDGA. Have you found something?

Bruce MacDonald Would like to go to bed early...tee times for MA70, Friday at New Hope, please? May 24, 2024

Larry Burge May 24, 2024 Hole assignments were posted yesterday

Sean Kiley May 24, 2024 Ma70 is a shotgun start, starting at 9am I believe

Dominic powell Found a phone on the green of 18 at John hunt. Bring in to tournament head quarters at Tom Monroe May 23, 2024

Alex Fiorenza Are the tee times for ma1 and mpo going to be similar? Would love to go watch mpo before or after the round. May 22, 2024

Alex Fiorenza May 22, 2024 Thanks

Ryan "The Cheese" Nichols Is it too late to switch to MA3? May 21, 2024

Steven LaRue The Schedule says MA1 is playing UAH.

Can I get clarification on exactly what courses MA1 are playing May 20, 2024

Jon Noles May 20, 2024 Steven, to try to be helpful, there was an email sent last night saying that Sunshine Oaks has been replaced by UAH due to rain.

Steven LaRue May 20, 2024 I just signed up today so I didn't get an email. John Bolster answered my questions. thanks john

Michael Rogers May 20, 2024 It's in the the emails. If you got one. Is what I meant.

Clint calvin Just arrived into town, wondering if there’s any place you’d recommend for van lifers to park for the week? If anything I’ll just stay at the Cracker Barrel down the street from John hunt if there’s no other options. May 18, 2024

Larry Burge May 18, 2024 You may post this on the North Alabama Disc Golf Facebook group page and see if you get an recommendations.

Kevin Callahan What tees and holes will the MP50's be playing? The caddy book only shows MPO and FPO. May 17, 2024

Larry Burge May 17, 2024 Only MPO is playing the long pads at JHP. All other professional divisions are playing the FPO layout.

Kevin Callahan May 17, 2024 Thank you

Mark Goffi Do you know an approximate tee time range for MA50? I am trying to coordinate transportation for those with which I am traveling that are playing a shotgun start pool. May 16, 2024

Larry Burge May 17, 2024 First tee time will be 9:00

Mark Goffi May 17, 2024 Thank you

Larry Burge I've decided to have MA40, MA50, and MA2 play the short layout at Sharon Johnston. MA1 will still play longs. I should have the tournament guide ready tomorrow. May 16, 2024

Jordan Rumfelt May 23, 2024 Larry, is the tournament guide for the courses besides JHP posted somewhere yet? Or will you be emailing that out at some point tomorrow? Thanks!

Larry Burge May 23, 2024 I emailed it out several days ago. I added it a link to it in the sticky comment above.

Bo McLaughlin For those of you playing professional or wanting to see the John Hunt layout, i also made a walkthrough video for it as well. Hope it helps :) https://youtu.be/YEZPCJUW3Lo?si=pwGX-wdAdbLMKr2h May 14, 2024

Larry Burge Mar 23, 2024 Yes, caddy book is for JHP. There will not be a hole by hole caddy book for Sunshine Oaks since it has permanent tee sings. I am sure the course will be visible on UDisc once it is open.

Tim Huffman Hey Larry, just curiou, id be interested in editing my registration to add one of my sponsors for a hole sponsorship. He was curious if we would be able to keep the sign after the tournament conclusion. Feb 17, 2024

Larry Burge Feb 17, 2024 Yes, that would not be a problem

Tim Huffman Feb 20, 2024 Thank you sir

Dalton Killingsworth Hey Larry - Is it possible to put me on an early card for MA1 the first day? It will greatly help with scheduling on my side for work. Feb 15, 2024
