Please remember that this course is in the Burke Lake Park campgrounds. To get there, drive into the main Burke Lake Park entrance. After you have passed the toll booth - there is no charge for entry at this point in the season - take a left and continue to follow that road until you get to a barrier that says "campground closed." You will see a barrel on the right. Move the barrel, drive through, and replace the barrel. If there are cars behind you, the last car through replaces the barrel.

See you soon!

I saw some spots opened up for the later tee times. Am I still locked in at 7:36?

All spots are currently full. Please reference PDGA.com rather than DGS at this point for the most up-to-date info.

All participants should have received an email with information about Thursday's tournament. Please let me know if you did not receive it.

Is anyone able to trade tee times with me or is there any open space an an early card? I just had a meeting pop up at work that conflicts with my now updated 1:24pm tee time. Anyone with a morning tee time willing to swap? The earlier the better.

You're at 7:24 now.

Projected PRO payouts are posted to PDGA.com.

AM divisions will receive medals for the following finishes (my apologies; they say 2020 because I ordered all of last year's medals and then had to cancel the series):

MA2 and MA3 - 1st-5th
MA4 - 1st-3rd
MA1, MA40, MA50 - 1st and 2nd
All other AM divisions - 1st place only

FWIW, there's about $350 added cash for the PROs.

Rich (Dick) Myers   March 10, 2021 at 1:42pm

honestly, isn't it still 2020 untl the pandemic is over?

Mike Sullivan   March 10, 2021 at 3:16pm

That math checks out.

Garrett Sadtler    March 9, 2021 at 5:15pm

Hi- unfortunately, I have to withdraw with this tournament. You can donate my entry fee. No need for a refund. Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know, Garrett!

Andrew Shands    March 9, 2021 at 1:17am

Where will check in be? If it is next to Hole #2, would I be able to send you a message to check in and pick up my disc later? I'm asking because I should be able to make my new tee time (will confirm tomorrow and drop if needed), but chances are it will be within a minute or two of the start time.

Mike Sullivan   March 9, 2021 at 8:05pm

Yup, in the gravel lot by hole #2. You may pick up your disc post-round.

Andrew Shands   March 9, 2021 at 10:05pm

Great, thanks!

Logan Jackson    March 9, 2021 at 12:33am

Is there any way I could get moved to a later tee time? I signed up for 1:30pm due to an early morning obligation. Sorry for the hassle but would really appreciate it

Permalink
Mike Sullivan   March 9, 2021 at 12:36am

I can move you if I have a drop or if you find someone to switch with. There's really no other way for me to work it.

Andrew Kipps    March 8, 2021 at 11:56pm

I'm only on the wait list but I put in a withdrawal request cause I couldn't hold the day off at work not being sure id get in. Just an FYI. Hope everyone has fun!

It appears that the tee times are different comparing disc golf scene to the Pdga event page. Which tee time is correct?

Permalink
Mike Sullivan   March 8, 2021 at 11:32pm

Neil, PDGA is correct. Expect an email soon. Long story short: the county double-booked us with a high school XC meet.

Neil Bishop   March 9, 2021 at 12:55pm

Thanks Sully!

Corey Wiseman    March 8, 2021 at 5:47pm

Hey Mike. I didn't realize this was a weekday. I have too much stuff going on at work to make this.

Mike Sullivan   March 8, 2021 at 6:09pm

No worries, man.

Mike Sullivan    March 8, 2021 at 4:14pm

Please note updated practice days (today, tomorrow, Wednesday) schedule. We need to be out by 4:30pm sharp each day, and I've added an extra morning hour tomorrow (I will open at 8am).

Bruce Fraser    March 7, 2021 at 1:07am

Is the course open for practice tomorrow?

Mike Sullivan   March 7, 2021 at 1:39am

Yes, sir: 9am-5pm

Justin James   March 8, 2021 at 1:16pm

Is it 9-5 each day this week?

Mike Sullivan   March 8, 2021 at 4:14pm

Justin, see my recent post.

Christopher White    March 5, 2021 at 5:19pm

Sorry for the inconvenience but I will need to withdraw from this tournament. Thank you in advance!

Can you take me off of the wait-list for MA1 ...I will not be able to attend anymore. Thanks.

Is the course map being posted this week? I literally have no idea what this course looks like, lengths, etc.

Justin James   March 2, 2021 at 1:50am

I found the lengths on Udisc, but if you have a map that would be great. Thx

Mike Sullivan   March 2, 2021 at 3:09pm

Hi, Justin. We changed up two holes, so I basically redid the map. It's posted now. There's also a video walkthrough that is accurate for 16 holes. Hole 17 is a mix of 17 and 18 in the video, a par 4. New hole 18 is a 270' slightly uphill tunnel shot.

Mike Sullivan    February 5, 2021 at 6:47pm

I have expanded the field and added three early morning tee times.

I have gotten all the AMs I can into the tournament (to the limit of player pack discs available).

I have emptied the PRO waitlist to fill the other spots.

Corey Wiseman and Billy Hunter have been promoted from the waitlist!
