Good morning masters,

Welcome to Day 3 out here at North Cove!

Just a few reminders coming into today…

First off, let’s not forget about Disc in the Dark and let’s show them some love and make Saturday night a huge event!!
Secondly, we are having another poker night in the club house. Bring a buddy and play for some scrip to spend at the Innova trailer.
Third reminder is the FLYMART! We will have a few vendors on hand for everyone to shop at!

Due to unforeseen circumstances we sadly won’t be able to play on the tennis courts but we will have access to the ping pong table, foosball table, and pool table. We would love to have everyone come in and compete in a table tournament.

You may have noticed that it is a little windy outside. We lost some assets on the courses last night and are cleaning those up now. We will be communicating with the PDGA about server weather (wind) and requirements for safety throughout the day. However, we are still set to continue as normal. Good luck to everyone and I will keep you all informed! Our number one goal is fun and safety.

Again, thank you all for being here!

In the caddy book I noticed on Boulder hole 7 is listed as a short and long tees with different pars ? But no hole 12 ?

keith johnson    October 14 at 11:15am

Hey Callie,
Is there any chance that everyone can play 4 days this first year since the field is smaller? I would hate to have to leave on Saturday.
Thanks in advance for your reply!

Randy Junttonen    October 12 at 3:29pm

Do we need to make tee times for practice rounds?

Are all 3 course cart friendly or do I need to bring a bag . Love my Ridge Roller

Stephen Enloe    October 1 at 11:49pm

Hi Callie, Do you have a date for when the caddie book will be released? Looks like OB is the story all over these courses. Or if it is going to be awhile, will the caddie book essentially be same as for the 2023 Blue Ridge Championship? If so, do you or anyone else have that caddie book? Many thanks!

Steven Taylor    September 27 at 2:24pm

Hi Callie I paid twice for ace pot both pro/am. I’d like to donate that $5 to AMs. Thanks

Callie McMorran    September 27 at 1:24pm

I have adjusted FA40 to pool C, this will allow for a full card of ladies at this time. I also believe that Gorge might be too challenging for that division. If this is an issue please let me know.

Daniel Stinehelfer    September 26 at 10:35am

The promotion to A-tier is exciting! Do you have rough estimates for tee times yet? I know registration is still evolving but wondered if you had decided what sequence the divisions would be going in...

Callie McMorran    September 21 at 4:04pm

The tennis/pickleball court that is going in has hit a bit of a speed bump. The court surface isn’t bouncy enough for pickleball balls as of now. I just wanted everyone to be aware of this change. We can definitely host a tennis tournament on the surface as of now. If you paid for pickleball and don’t want to play tennis we can get that refunded. I am informing people so that they know to bring pickleball paddles and tennis rackets. Regardless it will be fun!

North Cove is still trying to get this fixed so the potential for pickleball is still there.

Thanks for supporting the DGMT!

Christy Betit    September 21 at 12:15am

Hi Callie the code you sent to my email is saying it’s invalid for me to register

Rad Roberts    September 20 at 8:46pm

Hey Masters, please promote the finale to your friends and local groups so we get a good turnout. Callie and her team have put a ton of work in this year. Let’s help get this event over 300 participants!
