Good evening. I apologize for the delay getting this out. I knew the last day would have a bunch of additions, so I held off a little longer than normal.
As always, Cheryl and I are super excited about this event at Osage Grove, and very glad you signed up to be part of it. This will be a 1 round PDGA C-tier that will shotgun start at 10a. I will have hole assignments up around 9p this evening. If you are going to withdraw, to get a refund it must be submitted before 8p tonight.
The following will be the most important details for the event. Please reach out to us if you have any additional questions or comments before the event. If you have any questions or issues in regards to the tournament, please text/call Cheryl at 513-348-6140. She'll be the TD for this event.
We are playing the original 19 holes with no temp baskets for this event. It should be a fun and challenging day for everyone. The course always flows well. We are throwing all RED tees to longest baskets in place. Hole 19/old 1 only has one tee pad that we play and it is the longest one with a bench and post.
The flow of the holes in PDGA live will go like this: 1-13, 15, 14, 16-18, old 1/hole 19. The following holes have 2 baskets in place. The short basket will have a garbage bag over it. The holes are: 6, 8, 15 (Shauna's Corner), 16, and 18. Hole 14 does not have the hanging basket currently due to theft.
All course particulars are in PDGA live. The only OB being played will be on holes 6 and 19 if you happen to find the creek. It would be surrounded by water as OB, or over to the other side. There are no mando's in play, and any other standing water, besides the creek on holes 6 and 19 will be played as casual relief determined by your card (mainly holes 15, 14, 17, 18 if applicable).
PDGA live code: osage101
The schedule will look like this for the day:
9-950p player check by hole 1 blue
10a - Shotgun Start
@1230p Awards/Payouts
Check in will be besides hole 1 blue tee pad with Cheryl, Dragon, and/or myself.
I can't stress enough, please take the short amount of time to physically check in with us. This helps us make sure that everyone is here, and there are no holes with less than 3 players. It might not seem like a big deal to you, but it causes us issues trying to figure out if you are present or not. Please, please, please, just stop by and check in with us. Thank you in advance for this! In the case that someone doesn't show up and your card has less than 3 at tee off, you will have to grab a player from a card near by. If everyone checks in, this shouldn't be an issue.
Cards will be made up with pace of play in mind. Some cards will be mixed based on numbers in divisions.
Also, just a reminder, that any junior younger than 13 must have a parent/guardian on their card. There are many juniors now signing up in non-junior divisions, so we don't always catch this beforehand. Please advise and follow the PDGA guidelines on junior players.
We are not going to have a players meeting. It is your responsibility to know what's expected for the day and be at your hole for the start of each round. of the event. You can find them here:

Following the round, please give us a few minutes to get everything organized so we can hand out awards and payouts. If you are curious if you are going to get a payout, it is the top 40% per division by the PDGA. That will help you determine if you need/want to stick around. The Open players will receive cash/PayPal, and the AM's Crossover Cash. This can be exchanged for disc golf merchandise that we will have on hand. All Novice divisions are trophy only.
For those who are in the ACE fund, if no ACE is hit, we will do a throw off. The winner of the throw off will win the whole ace fund. We will pick a fair distance for everyone and throw to the practice basket.
In the event there is a tie for first place in a division, the playoff will start on hole #1 until there is a winner, playing the layout from round 1.
This is a PDGA event, so everyone should be up to date on the PDGA's stance on what is legal and what is not legal. Please don't put Cheryl or myself in position to make a call that we don't want to address, or should have to address.
It's going to be a great day. Please contact us with any questions you may have!
Thanks and see you at the course!
Josh and Cheryl
