Update!!! We have received a donation from Dynamic Discs of a DD Paratrooper bag in heather gray. So there is will be a raffle! $5/ticket or 5 tickets for $20. Cash only, please. You can purchase the tickets as you check for the first round. The drawing will take place at Noon, and the winner will be notified when they check in during the second round.

This is the bag that will be raffled off.

Good morning, players. We are less that a week away from the tournament. The logistics side of this tournament is definitely causing some stress on my end, but I’m confident that it will work out and we will have a great tournament.

Good morning, players. We are less that a week away from the tournament. The logistics side of this tournament is definitely causing some stress on my end, but I’m confident that it will work out and we will have a great tournament.
I wanted to update everyone on a couple new developments.
First, Parking. All participants will be required to park at the Culpeper United Methodist Church that was mentioned in the virtual players meeting. From there, all players are encouraged to use the cross way at the intersection of Blue Ridge Rd. And Madison Rd. Where the traffic light is located. It’s about a 100’ walk from the parking lot. This is a safety concern from the Town, which I hope everyone will adhere to, in order to pave the way for future tournaments in Culpeper. The other issue is, the splash pad is having their grand opening the same day as the tournament and the Town wants the park parking lot available for park goers.
Second, The temporary basket for Hole 7 will be placed, and the temporary tee for Hole 18 will be marked Thursday evening in order to allow participants to practice the new holes on Friday before the tournament. We have requested the town mow the grass, but I don’t know if that will happen. We will have to make the best of what the town provides.
If you haven’t watched the virtual players’ meeting, please make sure you watch it, with the updates listed here, in mind. https://youtu.be/-LeiYGRzwCI
Disc Golf tournaments is a new concept for the Town and they really have no idea what to expect or need, so I am counting on the disc golf community to come together as the great ambassadors we are, and show the Town of Culpeper what we can bring to the town so they will be eager to help this tournament grow in the future. I’m looking forward to seeing and meeting you all on Saturday.

Could I be moved in the MA 50 division. Joseph Eutsler #168610. Thank you. Currently in the Intermediate division.

Chad Cavender    April 25, 2021 at 11:27pm

Not sure how we can remedy it before the tournament, but the course needs to be mowed badly. Is there any way the Culpeper county parks and rec will mow the course for us?

Players,

We are just under two weeks away from the Culpeper May Day Challenge by Dynamic Discs. I hope you all are as excited about this tournament as I am. I wanted to touch on a couple of things that needed to be passed along.
The first item is a temporary redesign on a couple of holes. As I mentioned in the virtual players meeting, Hole 18 was supposed to be repositioned by the Town prior to the tournament. Unfortunately that hasn’t happened. As such, we will be using the existing ... more

Players,

We are just under two weeks away from the Culpeper May Day Challenge by Dynamic Discs. I hope you all are as excited about this tournament as I am. I wanted to touch on a couple of things that needed to be passed along.
The first item is a temporary redesign on a couple of holes. As I mentioned in the virtual players meeting, Hole 18 was supposed to be repositioned by the Town prior to the tournament. Unfortunately that hasn’t happened. As such, we will be using the existing basket for 18, but there will be a temporary tee pad marked out on the walking path. This will make the hole a bit shorter, but will reduce the risk to players on the 1st tee pad. For those familiar with Rockwater Park, it will be a bout 100’ east of the current tee pad (Toward the road). It will be marked with flags and chalk on the walking path.
The other redesign is to Hole 7. There will be a temporary basket placed on the ridge and in front of the row of trees, to the right of the current basket, about 100’-150’. This is to allow movement from Hole 9 to hole 10 safely, and without concern for taking a driver to the head. I hope to have the temporary features in place Thursday evening prior to the tournament to allow players the opportunity to check them out the day before the tournament.
The second item to touch on is players who have been promoted from the waitlist. If you have been promoted from the waitlist, you must pay the balance of the registration fee in order to compete in the tournament. If you have been promoted from the waitlist, and haven’t paid the balance of the registration by April 28th, you will be removed from the tournament without refund of your waitlist fee, and the next player will be promoted to compete in your place. If you have been promoted and no longer wish to compete in the tournament, please let me know, so I can get the next player promoted and registered.
See you all on the 1st.

I was planning on using a personal dyed disc during the round and for the hole in one challenge is that ok

Jason Hierwarter    April 6, 2021 at 2:02pm

There has been some change in the players field. As such I will repost the players’ meeting email here for all the new players.

I would like to thank all of you for registering for the inaugural Culpeper May Day Challenge presented by Dynamic Discs. I have included a YouTube link with the Virtual Player’s Meeting. Most items are covered in the video, however I wanted to touch on some other things that were not covered in the video, as well as emphasize some things that are covered. The tournament will be held this year at Rockwater Park, 457 Madison Rd., Culpeper, VA 22701. Proceeds from the tournament will be benefiting the Mighty Oaks Warrior Program. For more information on this organization please visit the website mightyoaksprograms.org to learn how this organization is helping service members, veterans, and 1st responders battling PTSD.

Players should arrive between 15-30 minutes before their tee times to check in at Tournament Central (Look for the DD feather flag), and warm up, and ensure they are ready to begin the round at their assigned time. This is important to ensure the rounds run as close to the time table as possible. Should a player arrive late, a tournament volunteer will assist them in finding their card along the course. They will be assigned scores in accordance with PDGA Rule 811.F.5 and PDGA Competition Manual 1.05.E and F.

We will be using live scoring, as well as a paper score card. If you are willing to keep either of these score cards, please let tournament staff know when you check in.

This is covered in the video, but I felt it important to touch on it again. The rules for the Grow Disc Golf $5K/$10 Ace Challenge are very particular, and I want to make sure everyone has a clear understanding on how the hole will be handled. There will be a videographer at the tee box at Hole 12. When is it your turn to throw, you will hold your disc so the stamp is visible to the camera, then you will state your name and the disc you will be throwing. At that point, you will be on your 30 seconds. Should you be able to sink the ace, you will proceed to the basket with the videographer. DO NOT REMOVE YOUR DISC FROM THE BASKET UNTIL DIRECTED BY THE VIDEOGRAPHER. Once you are prompted, take your disc from the basket, hold your disc again so the camera can see the stamp on the disc, and state your name and the disc you just threw. Failure to follow these rules specifically could void your chance at receiving the prize. If you are the player who is following an ace, you must wait for the videographer to return to the tee box to ensure your throw is properly documented. This is only during the first round of the tournament.

Player packs will be handed out at the end of the first round to alleviate the hassle of checking in and then having to return items to your vehicle. There is limited parking at Rockwater Park. We have been given permission to use the parking lot across the street at Culpeper United Methodist Church. The address for that church is 1233 Oaklawn Dr. Culpeper, VA 22701.

The first round will begin at 8am at 7 minute intervals, and the second round will start at 1pm. The tee times for the first round will be published the week leading up to the tournament. The tee times for the second round for each division will be published approximately 20 minutes after the last card of that division finishes the first round. There should be about 2 hours between rounds for you to head into town and grab a bite to eat. We are currently working with the Town of Culpeper to provide us a shuttle to go from the park, to the church parking lot, and then to the downtown area, and back, so you don’t have to move your car. There will be more information on that as we get closer. Tournament staff will be present at Tournament Central throughout the day. If you are comfortable, there will be an area where you can leave your bag and discs during the break.

The CTP Challenge during the second round will be at Hole 13. It was stated before (and also on the video) that the cash prize for this was $200. With the increase in the field, the cash prize has increased to $240. Good luck!

I have included my phone number at the bottom of this email. I would ask that you save that number, as this will be the quickest way to get in touch with me during the tournament, via text, should the need arise. Here is the link for the virtual players meeting: https://youtu.be/-LeiYGRzwCI
