I don't plan on having OB, but if you find yourself lost in long grass or deep in the woods, someone on your card will need to start a timer when you realize you are going to need a search party, and you will have 3 minutes as a group to locate your disc. This is for speed of play to keep all groups moving. If it is not found, you will go back to where you last threw, add 1 penalty stroke, and throw again. Abandon your disc until the round is over. Please send out a spotter on holes where losing sight of your disc can be an issue, especially holes 17&18. If you are bringing someone who is not playing and wouldn’t mind being our dedicated hole 17/18 spotter, let me know:)
