Rich Diienno Sticky Tee Times are live for round 2 tomorrow
 Sep 21, 2024
Rich Diienno Sticky I'm not sure why some of the tee times on PDGA just say Red Tees and others say Alum Creek... But just a reminder that EVERYONE is playing Alum Creek Saturday, and EVERYONE is playing Hoover on Sunday. Sep 20, 2024
James White Sep 20, 2024 Thanks!
Rich Diienno Sticky Tee times will go live tomorrow morning before noon Sep 20, 2024
James White Sep 20, 2024 If it just says red tees, that means Alum, correct? Thanks
James White Sep 20, 2024 A lot of divisions read Alum, some read "Buckeye Classic" only
Rich Diienno Sep 20, 2024 Everyone is playing Alum tomorrow, everyone plays Hoover Sunday

I would love to invite everybody to West Virginia to our local Jewel courses! Sep 23, 2024
Rich Diienno PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN THE GRASS AT HOOVER! THANK YOU! Sep 22, 2024
Austin Ford Great first day. When / where are starting times for round 2 posted?

Thanks in advance! Sep 21, 2024
Rich Diienno Sep 21, 2024 Tee times are now posted
Lawrence Dues Did anyone in one of the early groups lose a pair of sunglasses in a sleeve? They were near the basket on 11. Sep 21, 2024
Andrew Hood Sep 21, 2024 Might be Joe Stierhoff?
Aaron Richter Players pack pickup tomorrow at BH? Opted to wait until after round 1 and tent was vacated Sep 21, 2024
Rich Diienno Sep 21, 2024 Yes, those that did not pick up their player pack today can grab it tomorrow at tournament central, which will be at the shelter house by (normal) hole I.
Rich Diienno Sep 22, 2024 Sorry we weren't at the tent. We were walking around checking on the remaining cards finishing up
Frank Garcia Hit me up if you would like to get my players pack disc from me???? Sep 21, 2024
Scott Jenkins Are all yellow baskets being played at alum? Last I was there I thought there were still like 3 reds still there... 1, 17, and 18. Just checking cause I didn't see a mention of if any reds were being used Sep 21, 2024
Scott Jenkins Just double checking, but hole F is being played at hoover? Sep 21, 2024
Rich Diienno Sep 21, 2024 Yes we're using hole F. It will be hole 13 tomorrow in pdga live but it will say (normal hole F) in the description
Jake Marzulli Is check in just before your tee time or do you have to be there before the first tee time of the day? Sep 21, 2024
tony reiss Hey rich just curious are we playing any red baskets or just all yellow baskets at alum ? Sep 20, 2024
Rich Diienno Sep 20, 2024 What's up Tony. We're only using the Yellow baskets for this one.
Mark Knight Are tee times available to none players? Sep 20, 2024
Rich Diienno Sep 20, 2024 Tee times are available to everyone whether they're playing or not. I put a comment at the top of this page with a link to the event page where all of the tee times are lisited.
Mark Knight Sep 20, 2024
Rich Diienno Tee Times are posted and can be found on the PDGA website.

Tristan Beachy Can we use the dirt to the right of the pad on 6 at alum to tee? Sep 18, 2024
show 3 earlier comments
Rich Diienno Sep 18, 2024 short* red tee
Scott Jenkins Sep 19, 2024 Yea that shortest tee is the worst one in all of central ohio.
James White Sep 19, 2024 20 at Delaware is no prize. Lol
Aaron McPeak What layout will MA2 play? The description says longs, but a comment says shorts. Sep 16, 2024
Rich Diienno Sep 16, 2024 As it states in the about section, MA2 will play a combination of short/middle tees at Alum Creek, and long tees at Hoover
Joe STIERHOFF When will tee times be put up and where to find them Sep 16, 2024
Rich Diienno Sep 16, 2024 Tee times will be posted once registration closes. You'll be able to find them on the pdga event page
Joe STIERHOFF Sep 16, 2024 Ok thanks
James White Safe to assume the old guys will be going off early (before Ams 2,3,4)? Sep 16, 2024
show 3 earlier comments
Rich Diienno Sep 17, 2024 I should also mention tee times will be every 10 minutes
James White Sep 17, 2024 My man! Thank you so much. Even without specific tee times, this is such a huge benefit. Get early in the week
Rich Diienno Sep 17, 2024 Glad it helps! I won't publish tee times until registration closes, this way no one assumes they're going at a certain time, and then someone ends up dropping out, which could shift the start times
Christopher Block Will we be receiving a caddie book detailing the holes on both courses for this event? Sep 15, 2024
show 4 earlier comments
Christopher Block Sep 17, 2024 One last question, for holes 1 and 17 at Alum, are we playing to the yellow baskets? That’s what it appears based off the distances in the caddie book but just wanted to confirm.
Rich Diienno Sep 17, 2024
Yes, everyone is playing to the yellow baskets. I considered using the reds but I've black aced 17s ... show more ›
Christopher Block Sep 18, 2024 Got it, thanks for the clarifications!! And lol that’s awesome
Brock Beeney I’m gnna have to request a refund .. can’t make it due to a car accident last night Sep 13, 2024
Rich Diienno Sep 13, 2024 I'm sorry to hear that and I hope everyone is alright man. I'll get it processed for you.
Joe STIERHOFF So no hole 4? So you go straight to 6 Sep 11, 2024
Rich Diienno Sep 11, 2024 yes. straight from 3 to 6's tee as it states in the about section for this event.
Joshua Sgambellone Hello, I accidentally registered myself twice, anyway you could remove my waitlist registration? Sep 10, 2024
Rich Diienno Sep 11, 2024 Done
Don Farrow can you move me to m50
thanks Sep 8, 2024
Rich Diienno Sep 9, 2024 Done
Luke McKinnes Will the either of the combined holes have any special rules or mandos? Or any holes for that matter? I know they sometimes have done a mando on hole i. Sep 8, 2024
show 1 earlier comment
Joe STIERHOFF Sep 9, 2024 Will there be a Mando sign on tree and pole
Rich Diienno Sep 9, 2024 If not directly on the tree/pole I'll at least have a sign in the ground where the mandos are for easy visibility from the Tee
Luke McKinnes Sep 10, 2024 Thanks. Awesome.
Joe STIERHOFF What’s the player pack going to be Sep 8, 2024
Rich Diienno Sep 17, 2024 I just updated the player pack in the about section but I'll put it here too. Player pack is a Stokely Discs Cardinal from their "Artist" line and a carbon fiber event engraved mini.
Kristjan Arason Played Alum Creek yesterday. There is a picnic table 5-10 feet from the basket for 10. Pretty sure it wasn't there 10 days ago. Will that be removed? Sep 3, 2024
Rich Diienno Sep 3, 2024
I played there sunday and didn't see it or notice it. It must have just been put there. I'll be at t ... show more ›
Kristjan Arason Sep 4, 2024 Thanks Rich. I don't think you could have missed it! I don't know where it belongs, but it must have been some work hauling that thing through the woods!
Joseph Bishop Can I be moved up to MA1? Afraid if I do it on my own, it’ll put me at the back of the waitlist. Sep 3, 2024
Rich Diienno Sep 3, 2024 Done
Charlie Inkrott For MA2 at Alum: will it be if there are 3 tees on a hole, tee off from the middle tee, if not play from the whites? Just trying to get an idea for practice. Sep 1, 2024

Rich Diienno Sep 2, 2024 ma2 will play short tees on holes where there are only 2 tees
Nick Gramly Sep 3, 2024 Rich - sorry, I think I misinterpreted this - so are we only playing blue tees on holes that have gold tees (1, 5, 6, 14, 15 if I'm reading the course map correctly)?
Rich Diienno Sep 3, 2024 If a hole has only 2 tees ma2 will play the shortest, holes that have 3 tees ma2 will play the middle (blue) tees
Henry Schlabach I can’t make it. I need to drop. Thanks Sep 1, 2024
Rich Diienno Sep 2, 2024 If you click on the "players" tab there is an option to withdraw next to your name at the top
Joe STIERHOFF Are the baskets staying where they are for tournament Aug 30, 2024
Rich Diienno Aug 30, 2024
Alum is where they will be for the event. For Brent Hambrick we will be using all of the longest po ... show more ›
Rich Diienno Aug 30, 2024 Talked to someone and we should have baskets in place by the end of Sunday. I'll post another comment at the top once baskets are moved.
Rich Diienno Sep 2, 2024 Baskets have been moved Joe!
Tristan Beachy With 4-5 not being played at Hoover will there be a painted OB line on the right side of the fairway for the par 5? Aug 29, 2024
show 3 earlier comments
Stephen Berus Aug 30, 2024 That is from the BHMO Pro. Look at hole 6 (page 18) of the guide. This should give you an idea.
Rich Diienno Aug 30, 2024 Thanks for posting that Stephen. Yes Tristan, the mandatory left will be by the first tree on the right as you near 6's basket. The link Stephen posted should give you a good enough idea.
Tristan Beachy Aug 30, 2024 Thank you both!
Henry Schlabach What time will the first MA1 group tee off? Aug 28, 2024
Rich Diienno Aug 29, 2024 Tentatively I'm guessing around 11:30-12, but I won't know for sure until registration closes and divisions are locked in.
Joshua Grueser Just curious on what time do you think Ma3 tee times will start! I'll be coming from 3 hours away trying to get a plan. Aug 22, 2024
Rich Diienno Aug 23, 2024 Tee times will start at 8am, and lower divisions will go first.
Joshua Grueser Aug 23, 2024 Ok so MA 4 and up the list?
Rich Diienno Aug 23, 2024 Yes
Austin Pfaff Just to confirm:

Is MPO playing longest available tee to yellow baskets at Alum? Aug 22, 2024
Rich Diienno Aug 22, 2024 That is correct
Elijah Rex Aug 23, 2024 Does this make 1 a par 4 then?
Rich Diienno Aug 29, 2024 Not sure yet. Everything will be outlined in the Caddy Guide that will go out before the tournament... Just get a 3 on hole 1 and it won't matter... ????
