Hand sanitizer is available for your use before you touch any merchandise in the store.
Check again in the morning your starting hole to confirm nothing has changed. Changes should be very unlikely and only if absolutely needed.
Each card must have everybody keeping score. One person must keep score via the PDGA website and the others any other way you want. We have paper scorecards.
We have set up layouts on the PDGA site. PDGA.comscores code GEAC
For OB and hazard rulings, group decision is needed. If you can’t decide, give the benefit to the player; when in doubt play a provisional. Player must declare loudly they are playing a provisional.
Keep an eye on where you land. You only get 3 minutes to search for your disc before it is officially lost.
Two-meter rule is in effect.
Bring plenty of water; and this may be a good time for this year to wear sunscreen & bug spray.
Projected payouts can be found at

The exact numbers will change but this will give you an idea of what to expect; if people drop from your division, then the payout will be less.
The B.S. Bochantin Upshot store will be open all day. We accept Venmo or Cash.
For any first-place tie breaker playoffs will start on hole 1 shortest tee.
For Ace Pot, if someone hits an ace then they get the $120. If no one hits an ace we will donate that money to the course.
