One thing I left off the player meeting document is a long-standing issue out there, something the city asked us to do years ago when we first moved the tournament to Hancock:

Please, no cleats of any kind. Not pointy, not blunt, just no cleats. We have potential to tear things up too much as it is, especially when things are wet. So let’s not make it worse with cleats.

Thanks!!

Sorry to be so late in getting this finished up!! Here is the link to the 44th Waterloo Player Meeting Document, please download it to your phone, along with the course map and course rules (links are in the document), so you have it with you all weekend.

Even if you are only playing doubles, there is important info there like parking, how to find your tee time, when to arrive, how to find results, etc.

SCORING:

All OFFICIAL scoring for Singles will be online, using the PDGA online scoring, that way scores go directly up onto the site at the end of your round. However, if the system has problems or you cannot get any signal, we will have paper scorecards for you too. Your group will need to use both and will need to turn in the physical scorecard to HQ at the end of your round. However, we won’t use it unless you ran into problems with the online scoring.

To access the PDGA scorecard, go to: www.pdga.com/score, enter the access code: 44waterloo

If you don’t know the process well, there are a few very short videos on how to do the online scoring at: https://www.pdga.com/apps/tournament/score/help

One important thing to remember: once you confirm your scores online, they are OFFICIAL! So don’t do this until ALL players on the card have looked at their own scores and verified them. Also don’t confirm them if you have questions about a Provisional shot situation or something that needs to be cleared up. Instead, have ALL the players on the card come to HQ and ask the TD (Gordon Kelley) about it when you finish the round (use the notes field in the PDGA online scoring to put your other score). Come get his ruling first and then finalize things.

Parking is very limited at Hancock Golf Course.

The small parking lot downhill by the Pro Shop and tourney HQ is for STAFF ONLY.

All along the right-hand side of the driveway is NO PARKING, at all, for the entire weekend (this is the part next to the golf course and their putting green).

Along the left-hand side of the driveway is some parking but not a lot. We have 2 holes down in that area, including in the soccer field, so don’t park past where we have marked.

On FRIDAY, the upper parking lot is partially available. However, the southern part of it near the Rec. Center is RESERVED for Rec. Center parking only. DO NOT park there on Friday; don’t go beyond the orange traffic cones.

On SAT. & SUN., the upper lot is completely OPEN. But it still doesn’t hold that many cars.

Otherwise you can park on E. 41st Street, Peck Avenue, or other nearby streets.

If you park along the golf course side of E. 41st, please pull straight in (if room) or at an angle so more cars will fit. If everyone parallel parks, there won’t be that many cars that will fit.

No matter what, give yourself extra time to get there, find a space, and get to HQ. If you have to park next to the course along Peck or further down E. 41st St., it can take a while to walk up to HQ.

When parking inside Hancock property, keep in mind that there is a City of Austin Recreation Center that shares the property. On Friday especially, there WILL be kids around and there WILL be parents coming to pick them up. BEST BEHAVIOR REQUIRED. Not much can get us kicked out of Hancock permanently faster than parents screaming about what they, or what their kids saw. Please don’t be “that person”.

Also, when parking on any of the streets around the course, be courteous and kind, don't drink, curse, or litter - pretend your grandmother lives in that house! (and if it helps, pretend she is a sweet little old lady, and the kind that will tan your hide for misbehaving :) )

I know everyone isn't on Facebook. That is why I'll be sending emails and putting stuff here in comments or in the "About" section of DG Scene.

Rather than send everyone 1 or 2 really really long emails (eye-glazing amounts of info), I'll probably be sending a bunch of shorter ones covering just a subject or two. So please check your email regularly from now until the tournament.

If you are on Facebook but haven't yet joined the event FB page, please do so. Some info already posted there and lots more coming over the next 7-10 days. https://www.facebook.com/events/190409256 ... show more ›

I will also try to post some of the most important info here in the "About" section of this page, as well as send out emails to the address you gave when registering.

The McC-Note pre-registration is FULL, only took about 30+ minutes.

If you didn’t get one of the available spots, you’ll have to wait for Regular Registration to open late next week (Fri. Aug. 13th at 8pm for Women’s divisions only; Sun. Aug. 15th at 8pm for all divisions).

If you didn’t get a spot tonight but still want to be a Father Dave McC-Note Challenger, you will have that option during regular registration. It no longer has the benefit of saving your spot, but you will be helping out the charity plus you’ll get a cool McC-Note goodie in your player’s pack. Every year a number of people do this, you can be one of them this year.

Please don’t contact the club with requests to get on the waitlist this year. The waitlist will be handled entirely through DG Scene, but it won’t start until the spots available during Regular Registration are gone. We’ll post more info about how that will work next week, as regular registration gets closer.

Thanks!
Gordon
