Hello and thank you for playing the Battle at the Camp. This event is a 2 round PDGA sanctioned B-Tier at Jack Culverhouse Memorial DGC in Princeton, Tx. We will be playing a 21 hole layout which includes 3 temporary holes.
This post/email will serve as your caddie book, as well as our virtual player’s meeting. Everything that you need to know about this event will be listed below. We will have a very brief meeting before the first round that is not mandatory.
Schedule:
Saturday 3/6/21
Player check-in will happen from 7:00AM to 8:20AM. If you check-in for this event on Friday there is no need to check-in again.
THIS IS YOUR PLAYER MEETING!! We will have a brief meeting at 8:30 to discuss course rules and conditions. IT IS NOT MANDATORY!!
1st Round start time is at 9:00AM. Hole Assignments will be posted on the PDGA page for this event by 7:30pm on Friday. There will be no board on site with hole assignments.
There will be an hour lunch break from the time the last card is submitted.
Second round start time will not be posted until everyone has completed the first round. We anticipate round 2 starting around 1:30.
Live Scoring
We will be using PDGA live scoring for this event. 1 player per card will need to keep score at pdga.com/score using code BATTLE21. Additionally, another player will need to keep score either on udisc or with a provided paper scorecard (uDisc is preferred) to verify score. At the end of each round, all players on the card will need to verify and sign that scores are correct. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR GROUP UNTIL YOU HAVE VERIFIED YOUR SCORE AND YOUR CARD HAS FINALIZED SCORES.

Parking is readily available at the course. Please be mindful of tournament central when parking.

Monitor yourself for symptoms for 14 days after the last day you were exposed to protect your health and those around you. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Other symptoms may include, muscle aches, fatigue, sore throat, chills, headache, runny nose, abdominal pain/discomfort, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.

PDGA Best Practices:
1. PDGA-Sanctioned Event Requirements
o Event directors and all staff, players, spectators, etc. (event participants) must follow all government guidelines for the event’s location concerning conducting organized sporting events, including following any requirements for physical distancing (example: minimum two-meter [6 feet] physical distancing) upon arrival at the event and at all times prior to, during, and after their rounds at the event and in all event locations.
o Event directors and participants must still follow all normal PDGA rules concerning competition, such as properly holing out, etc.
o Anyone who has COVID-19, is exhibiting common symptoms of COVID-19, is ill, or is in direct contact with someone with COVID-19, must not participate and may be asked to leave the event.
o Event directors and participants who willfully and repeatedly violate government guidelines may be subject to PDGA disciplinary action up to and including penalties for a Class A offense. (Automatic suspension)
Tournament Players As tournament/competitive/recreational players it is our responsibility to adhere to park rules, COVID-19 standards and precautions, and to the welfare of others. Please keep sidewalks and paths clear of bags/carts. Try not to loiter on sidewalks. Pedestrians always have the right-of-way. Even though this event is official, and we have exclusive use of the courses, these are public parks. We DO NOT kick people out or tell them they cannot play the course. We DO tell them what is going on and give them all of the information needed to make sure there is little or no issue. In all cases these situations tend to work themselves out. As tournament players I feel it is our duty to be positive and informative towards others regardless of being a part of a paid tournament. All in all, we should be respectful and kind to everyone we come in contact with. Thank you all for your consideration.
