Hey All!

Just sending out a quick update about the Payout for Weekend 4...

I'm right at 50% finished. For those of you unaware, this is a tedious "copy/paste" manual process. In addition, when I start sending large amounts of "friends and Family" transactions, PayPal starts requiring security protocols with the Captcha Pictures/I'm Not a Robot feature which slows down the process even further.

Thanks for your patience!

i found an uninked "pure white" wizard on the road about 250yds down the street from the gate on Cooper Terrace. Looked like someone left it on top of their car and drove off. I'll drop it off at the lost and found tomorrow for ya.

You should go to each hole and find the tea sign for that hole and it will tell you the distance for the red course and the blue course separately as well as the par for that course which could be different from one another per hole the only hole That has two separate pads is whole 16 FPO, MP, 50 and MP 55 will play the carpet T and MPO and MP4 will play the turf tea.

The lower divisions will always play to a red basket except for the 17th and 18th holes where they will also play to a blue basket , the signs will reflect that this is the best way to go practice as of now through Thursday evening

Hey All!

 * Turf tee is trashed right now, more than likely will play from carpet tee below.

Hole Specific Notes
Hole #2
The Turf Tee area is surrounded by a mud pit. Although there is a ton of mulch covering a lot of the muddy areas, it's just not an ideal location for that tee. In addition, it's basically in the parking lot and we do not have the luxury of renting any additional parking areas like DGPT did. Our solution is to use the carpet tee pad up on the hill. 

Hole #4
Currently, the Turf Tee is caked with clay due to players from the Friday round of Weekend 3 trekking the clay up off of the path and then scraping their shoes off on the tee itself. If we can get this cleaned to a satisfactory level and simultaneously find a solution to eliminate the clay from the path up to the tee, we will resort back to the Turf Tee. Due to all of that being a lot of work and probably not enough time to pull it off, we will more than likely be using the carpet pad below that was hastily installed as an alternative for Weekend 3. In addition, that carpet pad may be moved back slightly if we can find a flatter, smoother locale and get the area knocked down with a weed eater.

Hole #5
Whoever painted/marked the relief area lines for DGPT/Chess.com should be fired. These may be the worst lines I've ever witnessed on a course. To avoid further confusion, we were forced to maintain the lines for the last 3 weekends, but I will be personally remarking the entire hole on Tuesday 3/26/25. The old orange paint will be ignored and replaced with white paint and the pvc stakes and whiskers will be removed and be replaced with white stakes.

Important additional notes: We will be marking the "pond" area as OB and all other parts of the canyon floor will be in play. If you land in the pond, move to Drop Zone with a penalty stroke. If you land on the canyon wall/relief area, move to Drop Zone with NO penalty.

Hole #11
This only affects the Olympus Reds layout. The slope where the basket is located became very slick during Weekend 3, we may opt to relocate the basket to the bottom of the slope behind the fallen tree where it has been located previously.

Hole #14
The Red and Blue basket positions have been switched from the DGPT/Chess.com event.

Hole #15
This only really affects the Olympus Reds layout. The Red basket location has been moved to the traditional "bowl area" on the right side of the fairway.

Hole #17
We are bringing back "old #16" and putting a Blue temporary basket on the top of the hill. It's a great shot/must birdie hole and the green is the highest point on the entire property. Both layouts will play to the Blue basket.

Hole #18
I was not fond of the changes to Hole #18 for the DGPT/Chess.com event. This hole is designed to be one of the toughest finishing holes in all of Disc Golf. Please refer to the attached rules sheet in the email that was sent for specific "how to play" info, but we have removed the "spectator" OB line in the fairway, removed the OB area on the green and the Drop Zone up top. Basically there is no relief, you must clear the shelf to the putting green. Both layouts will play to the Blue basket.

BREAKING NEWS - Terry Miller - The Disc Golf Guy
"T-Dog", as I like to call him, will be here to film and produce coverage for Weekend 4 of TDTMXII! He will shoot a feature card for MPO on Friday and subsequent lead card on Saturday and Sunday. In addition, he will shoot footage from FPO on Friday and Saturday and produce a video digest but will shoot lead card action for the final round on Sunday.

Zachary Zandstra    March 24 at 3:49am

Hey Michael,

I'm signed up for the MPO side of Throw Down the Mountain.

I'm flying into town in the next couple of days and I was curious what layout we were playing.

Thanks for all your work and help.

David Hurley    March 18 at 1:28am

I am currently in MPO and would like to be on the MP40 waitlist incase a spot opens up

Geo Garcia    March 11 at 8:03pm

Refund submitted, have to work that weekend now! Cue the sad face!

Damon Clark    March 9 at 4:32pm

Hey Mike. I am into MP55 from wait-list. Can you move my reg to that and withdraw me from MP50?

Mark Guldner    March 3 at 9:19pm

What Is the chance I get in pro 50 number 1 on waitlist

Marc Juliano    March 3 at 1:31pm

Morning Mike,

Can I please be added to Mp40 wait list and play there if a spot opens up?

If not I will gladly still play MPO.

Thanks,

Marc

Matt Dollar    March 3 at 1:08pm

Hi Mike, I signed up for MPO originally but recently got into MP40 off the wait-list. Can you move my entry fee over to MP40 and delete me off of MPO? Thanks

Michael Barnett    March 2 at 12:15am

Hey All!

A touch late, but with how things have gone at Olympus thus far, I'm not surprised lol...

We got the other courses uploaded into UDisc between Wednesday and today. Please note that they are on UDisc but are currently "inactive" until after this weekend's doubles event is finished. In addition, some of the pars are still being edited so please be patient.

I'm planning on starting to install the Tee Signs on Sunday after the doubles event is underway.

I'm planning on starting to install the Tee Signs on Sunday after the doubles event is underway.

Here are the breakdowns by Event Weekend:
Weekend 1 - Green & Red (Weekend 1), Weekend 2 - Red (Weekends 2 & 3), Weekend 3 - Red (Weekends 2 & 3) & Purple, Weekend 4 - Olympus Reds & Olympus Blues

Please remember that the courses themselves are subject to small changes.

I will be posting the Course Legends once I get UDisc finalized and the Tee Signs installed.

Lastly, we have developed a downloadable app for your phone and hope to have it completed before Weekend 1!

Mike Cain    February 27 at 1:12pm

Tee assignments?

Mark Guldner    February 27 at 3:43am

It would be great if you could add one more card for MP50 and MP55.

Bob Kulchuk    December 26 at 1:17pm

Good morning. I am registered for MP40, but could I get added to the MP50 waitlist? I'll play MP40 if I cannot get in to MP50, but thought I'd ask. Don't want to lose my spot. Thanks.

Damon Clark    December 13 at 7:35pm

I am on the MP50 waitlist, but would prefer MP55. Will play either but just requesting move if that group expands.
