'Twas the night before provincials, and all through Wolf Tracks,
not a chain was heard ringing, not a tree being whacked,
The OB's been painted by Spencer with care,
in hopes that our discs will not cross in the air.

This is it; our last update before game day tomorrow! We've consolidated everything into a single email and made a few minor tweaks to our course maps that I'll detail below. Please take a thorough read through your guide and relevant course map.

Tweaks/Changes
• We've added a second drop zone to hole #20 at Wolf Tracks to prevent an infinite loop of misery from island #1 to the green. All drives OB off the tee proceed to drop zone #1 with a penalty. Any subsequent throw that comes to rest OB will proceed to drop zone #2 (see map).
• We've adjusted our OB lines on the Limberlost map. You'll notice 2 separate OB lines on hole 10 & 11... the line closest to the hole 10's fairway is hole 10's OB line and the line closest to hole 11's fairway is hole 11's OB line; this line, and anywhere past this line to the right on either hole is considered OB. You'll also notice the green paint stops on hole 12 as it travels up the hill; this line continues up the hill through the PVC stakes in the ground.
• We've added the hole 12 OB detail to the Limberlost map.

Players Packs
We had nearly half the field show up for earlybird player pack pick up. If you haven't grabbed your player's pack yet (amateurs) please show up a bit early tomorrow, or grab it after your first round at your courses' HQ. Both Cori (Limberlost) and Mac (Wolf Tracks) will help you.

Four Father's Elevated Ace Holes
Your Four Father's elevated ace holes for this event are #7 at Wolf Tracks & #12 at Limberlost Links. Ace the hole, and you're going home with a brand new Squatch Legend 2.0 disc golf bag!

Player's Social
We've rented out the Boiler Room Tap & Grill (just up the street from Wolf Tracks) from 7-9pm Saturday night for the player's social. They will be offering drinks and a very limited app menu (as our numbers may easily over encumber their capacity). We'll be drawing our raffle prizes live at 8:30pm. There is a fire code cap (125 people) so please arrive early if you'd like to guarantee your spot. The address is 25748 ON-35, Dwight, ON P0A 1H0
Interesting development here; please look for an update from our team tomorrow.

Raffle
We're over halfway to our goal! The deadline to purchase raffle tickets is 8pm Saturday evening. You may have seen a couple of prizes at check-in tonight. If you'd like to purchase tickets online, please visit the raffle page at http://www.ontariodiscstore.ca

Parking
Wolf Tracks parking is available at Bondi resort. If you're having trouble finding a spot, please just ask a volunteer from our team.

Player's Meetings
Please note that there will be a player's meeting 20 minutes BEFORE EVERY TEE TIME at each course's HQ. This means at 7:40 am for the A1 pool at Wolf Tracks and 8:40 am for the B pool at Limberlost, then 12:40 pm again for the A2 pool at Wolf Tracks.

Starting Holes
Your starting holes are listed beside your name on the event's official PDGA page.

Digital Scoring
Digital scoring is available through http://www.pdga.com/score or by downloading and using the brand new PDGA Live App on ios and android! Every card required TWO players scoring on the app or through the provided link. Please also ensure that all scorecards are submitted upon completion of the round.

Your tournament access code is: ontario


That's it, that's all. If you have any questions, we'll be up until midnight to answer questions here or on the discgolfscene comments page.

Sleep tight, dress warm, and in the event of questionable weather, prepare yourself accordingly to stay as dry as possible.

Good Evening Golfers,

We're sent out our second communication tonight and included our two venue maps, complete with OB, course notes and distances/pars. I wanted to make sure we got this up on the message board as well in the event that there are some players missing our emails. If you think this applies to you, please read to the bottom of this message then reach out.

Without further adieu, a few announcements in email #2:

Lunch
There will be a pizza food truck present at Wolf Tracks on Saturday afternoon. There will not be lunch, or lunch food available for purchase at Limberlost; in response, we've made sure to provide an extended lunch period for the B Pool who might choose to visit Dwight or "Muskoka on the Rocks" for takeout lunch should you decide not to pack your own.

Practice Rounds
The course is open for practice rounds Thursday and Friday. Bondi are offering our competitors a discounted "play all day" rate of $10 during the event. Please visit the Bondi Village office to check-in when you arrive. Please note, visitor parking extends to the beginning of the cabins, please do not park your vehicle on Bondi past this point.

Vendors
We will have disc vendors present at both courses during the event. In addition, we will also have Sarah from She Dyzer Discs on-site at Bondi Village for the event. We'll also have a small players lounge set up overlooking the Lake of Bays courtesy of Morton Muskoka Chairs, a major event sponsor this year who have also donated a VERY NICE handcrafted muskoka chair to our fundraiser raffle. Remember to bring cash for the raffle as well if you haven't purchased tickets yet; they'll be available through our on-site vendors.

Practice Areas
We will have multiple-basket practice areas set up at both venues for the weekend for players to warm-up or practice during their lunch break.

Players Packs
Amateur competitors may choose to pick-up their player's packs at "early bird" check-in between 5-7pm Friday at Bondi Village (Wolf Tracks). If you don't pick up your player's pack here, they will be available for you at check-in, or between rounds Saturday at your pool's corresponding course.

Starting Holes & Player's Meeting
We will have starting holes posted Friday morning for both pools.
A1 Pool starts at 8am @ Wolf Tracks
B Pool starts at 9am @ Limberlost Links
A2 Pool starts at 1pm @ Wolf Tracks

We ask that all players are present at the check-in tent 20 minutes prior to their tee time for a quick players meeting with your corresponding course director.

We also wanted to take a moment to introduce your two course directors for this weekend's Championships:

Wolf Tracks: Mackenzie Young
mac.jpg
A Huntsville native and the muscle behind Gripped & Ripped Disc Sports, "Mac" has helped with a lot of heavy lifting for the event. He'll be your liaison for the duration of the event at Bondi village during check-ins and should you have any event-related questions during the event.

Limberlost Links: Cori Murdock
cori.jpg
Hailing from Ontario's north on St. Joseph Island, Cori runs the St. Joseph DGC and volunteers on the ODSA board as treasurer and tour manager for the Ontario Club Championship. Cori will be your liaison at Limberlost; running check-in, hosting the player's meeting and answering your on-site questions as they arrive.

From Earlier Emails
We're going to do a quick re-cap in case you missed anything from our prior emails...

MA4/FA4 Divisions Added
We added MA4 & FA4 divisions a few weeks back in an effort to add parity to our stacked B Pool divisions and level the playing field. If you're currently competing in MA3 or FA3 and would prefer to switch to MA4/FA4 it's not too late! Shoot us a reply to this email with your intent and we'll make the change.

Player's Guide
We'd sent out a player's guide summary with pools, layouts, schedule and course information. We've attached the PDF to this email again in case you missed it the first time.

Raflle & Fundraiser Discs
We're running a fundraiser raffle in an effort to break even for the event and fund some fun amateur prizing for our day 2 card winners if we can meet our goal. As we've invested heavily in player pack value, event infrastructure and support materials, we could use your help to take us over the top. We've got some FANTASTIC prizes this year; winners will be drawn at the player's social on Saturday evening. To purchase tickets, or view event fundraiser discs, click here.

If you have any questions, please feel welcome to respond to this email and we'll get back to you as soon as possible, or post on the DGS event page HERE:
https://ontariodiscstore.ca/collections/fundraisers

We'll be in touch again soon with some fun background on this year's two event courses, the optional Saturday night player's social event, your organizers and some of our key partners in presenting the 2022 ODGC!

HOLE SPONSOR SPOTS

In lieu of the continued Rogers network outage, the tournament team have committed to reserve ~30% of our registration spots to be released at 7pm EST July 9th. This will afford those affected by the outage an opportunity to register while still making available a majority of our spots for those who may have budgeted their evenings for registration and may not be able to make the second registration "drop" tomorrow evening. We understand this is not a perfect solution, as there may not be one in this situation.... however, this was the most equitable solution agreed upon by our entire tournament team. Good Luck everyone, if there was no limit to daylight, we'd love to host everyone.
