Concessions and Raffle will be present; I'd say raffle is pretty hefty (A-Z options plus more). Supporting your TDs and affiliated vendors is always helpful. Frank is preparing food at his diner; he's a 1-man crew, so please choose tourney options prior to rounds and dining options afterward. Chuck Horn with the Norcal Series Trailer will be there; We will have discs and schwag; Premium Disc Golf will be around. Did I hear something about P2s? Many thanks to Mosquito Volunteer Fir ... more

Sunday T-Time? 8:30?

Cliff Brison   September 26, 2021 at 3:39am

9:30

Wade Wolff   September 26, 2021 at 4:06am

Thank you

Cliff Brison    Sticky September 24, 2021 at 5:59pm

Saturday tee times will be starting not at hole 1, but instead at hole 9; there is a map showing tourney central and parking on the 'Pictures' tab above. Parking will be first at day use Lot A, Next at Overflow Lot B, Last at Overflow Lot C. I still need to scrape Lot B. BE FIRE ALERT! In addition to not smoking, and using ONLY PROPANE (per COUNTY regulation) at camp, make sure you are not parking a hot catalytic converter over dry weeds. ...carpools encouraged. Sunday is 9:30 shotgun start; give time to be at your hole assignment.

Thanks Cliff! Your hard work is appreciated.

Erik Burkett   September 24, 2021 at 2:11pm

Good morning Clif! I have a few questions. Are parking fees included with registration? Where's check in/tournament central? Are we starting on hole one or somewhere closer to the campground? Thanks. Can't wait to see you in the morning!

Cliff Brison   September 24, 2021 at 5:38pm

Great questions Erik. Registration did include parking fees; see the flyer on the 'About' tab above. Starting hole is hole 9, right near tournament central; see the map I have posted on the 'Pictures" tab above.

Mike Berry    September 26, 2021 at 2:06pm

Lost orange star sidewinder in tree on 11. Wedged when I left. If found, would love it back! Name and number on it. Good luck today all!

Not sure where 8:30 came from. Tee time is 9:30. Thanks for checking to clarify.

Is it for sure a 9:30 shotgun start tomorrow because I heard some people saying it was 8:30? Just wanna confirm

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I lost (left behind) an orange Millennium Hyzerbomb Mortar on Hole 27 on Wednesday. To the right of the pin roughly pin high or a bit deep, maybe even down in the ditch. If anyone finds it before I get there, name and number are on the bottom or you can drop at lost and found. Would be much appreciated, have a great weekend everyone!!

Is there still camp spots available for sat. night

Cliff Brison    September 24, 2021 at 7:32pm

See the 'Pictures' tab above for course notes and rules. Your scoring clipboard will have a copy attached, but I would suggest you save a digital copy of these notes for your viewing as needed, and that you appoint a single scorekeeper for your rounds within your group so that there is minimal touching and sharing. A secondary digital scorekeeper on, say UDisc, would be beneficial. .....The 'Pictures' tab also has a course/parking map that you can save.

Surprised only one lady is playing this tourney. This course is one the best in Nor Cal.

Cliff Brison   September 24, 2021 at 8:14pm

If we could get a couple of Open women to challenge the current leader, I would make it work on my end...

Jim Gaughran    September 24, 2021 at 5:53am

Will there be water out on the course?

Permalink
Cliff Brison   September 24, 2021 at 5:32pm

Yes. We have 5 water coolers, and I believe we may have some water donation(s) as well. For the coolers,

This tournament is way out of my league. Still looking to compete and have some fun!!!

We're glad to have you Jason. The way you play your own game is what matters.

donni tacos   September 24, 2021 at 7:35pm

Just have fun. Course is one of the best around

Mark Reynolds-Delaney    September 24, 2021 at 1:17am

Still curious about the camping situation. I've sent an email but no response. I'm assuming show up Friday evening and sort it out then?

Cliff Brison   September 24, 2021 at 2:32am

Strange, I received the email sometime between 10:45 and 2:00 today, but it says three days old. I'll respond to that tonight Mark.

Nate Jackson    September 24, 2021 at 1:14am

When are we getting our tee times

Looking forward to a solid battle!

Edward Elam   September 24, 2021 at 4:19pm

Mark, I feel you about that getting whooped in MA1.

Cliff Brison   September 24, 2021 at 5:46pm

PDGA would flag ratings; I don't see any issues... Should I bring some burlap bags just in case? Finnon has some nice little beach areas that would work for filling.

Samuel Madison    September 23, 2021 at 5:12pm

Anyone know why the air quality is so bad in Placerville today?

Fire and wind direction

Schuyler Raine-Mustain   September 23, 2021 at 3:58pm

Makes Sense. Thanks D

Cliff Brison   September 24, 2021 at 5:51pm

Mornings have been a lot more clear for the past couple of weeks. We did have a couple of mornings tasting of smoke, maybe two mornings this week. The last two mornings have been good.

Jason Toutolmin    September 23, 2021 at 1:50am

Hoping for a camp spot for our truck/cab over camper if possible. Please let me know if you have any open.

Cliff Brison   September 23, 2021 at 2:39am

Jason, I have you down for a spot. I've emailed in response to your earlier message, but I don't think the email I shoot back through DGScene are getting through. Can you send me an email directly? We'll work out the details then. [email redacted]

Jason Toutolmin   September 23, 2021 at 5:44pm

Sweet thanks! I’ll email you directly.

Andrew brackoneski    September 22, 2021 at 11:45pm

I as well would prefer to get earliest T time available
