PLAYERS GUIDE:
General:

- Park in designated parking areas only; do not park or loiter or leave equipment on the road for any reason.
- Be kind to the neighbors and other players; no loud profanity or obnoxious behavior, please.
- The Port-o-lets are near the DGVT trailer and near the sugarhouse.
- No trash or recycling cans are provided this year – pack out all trash please!
Safety Concerns:
- Lightning – in the event of a thunderstorm the horn will sound 3 times to call players off the course. When you hear these horns, mark your lie, record your score to that point and come in. Head straight to your car and look for further instructions from the tournament directors.
- Bees – there are always bees on the course. Look for any signs that say "BEES" and be cautious when searching for lost discs and move away quickly if you hear or see a number of bees. Please mark the nest in some way if safely possible, and tell us about it ASAP. Persons allergic to bee stings should carry their epi-kit with them.

CAMPERS GUIDE:
Buddy and I are happy to be able to offer camping for the 2023 North Calais Open. Please read and follow the rules below; we want everyone to have a safe and happy stay.
General provisions:
There are several camping areas available: the large area bounded by holes #11/12/13; the area next to the sugarhouse with three or four sites and another two or three between the sugarhouse road and the fairway of #17; room for a couple of tents behind the house; two areas to the right of #10 fairway, with short “roads” in for parking one or two cars, and flats for one or more tents each; and a number of more remote sites to the north (right) of holes #2/3 .
Reasonably sized campfires are permitted in only 3 locations: at the camping area inside #11/#12/#13, at the camping area close to the sugarhouse, and at the camping area behind the house. Please share the fire areas.
Please minimize your footprint; there will be quite a few tents/cars this year. Please park cars on the hilly spots and save the “flats” for tents. Large “kitchen” tents should be few, and communal if possible.
Quiet Hours are from 11 PM to 7 AM. My elderly neighbors are great folks and support the course but they retire early. Please let them know you appreciate their support by a real effort to keep the noise down after 11. Thanks!!
Absolutely NO Firearms or Fireworks!
Vehicles will not be permitted to enter or leave the campgrounds during the day while players are on the course (~9 AM through6 PM). And please, no midnight drives on the course or beer runs in the wee hours.
Pack out all trash and recyclables; leave a clean campsite.
Keep food secure and away from tents – this is bear country and we have regular visitors.
Due to the extremely wet summer the course vegetation is very tender. “Extra” and glow rounds will not be permitted this year. We need to take care of the course now so we’ll have a beautiful course to enjoy next year.
“Amenities”:
You may lop small trees and brush and use a rake and shovel to improve your tent site (in moderation). Tools are in the sugarhouse woodshed, please return when finished.
Firewood may be found in the powerline windrows. That stuff was cut 3 seasons ago and is burnable.
Water is available at the sugarhouse in two 5-gallon jugs; let me know if it needs replenishing.
Port-o-lets located at the white cottage and on the woods road near the sugarhouse. No trash or food waste, please.
House phone is (802) 456-7465 and is available for emergency calls.
Swimming is now available at the little beaches at #10 Pond (Mirror Lake) but parking is limited to the area with the concrete barriers behind the F&W boat access (don’t park for swimming at the access itself).
Let us know if you need anything else. Your hosts, Paul and BuddyDog.
DGVT merchandise: If you would like to purchase something from DGVT you can do so at the event. Member discs can be picked up at the event and you can cash in your Am payout at the event. We will have your payout on file if you have won any amateur payouts at a Tour event we will have that for you. Must redeem am payouts by the end of the calendar year. We do not ship payouts, so make sure to use your credit onsite at one of our events.
