Regarding discs lost in ponds: I have a set of hip waders, and I have the day off today. I would be glad to help recover wet discs. But I understand this has to be worked out with the management since the course is probably open to ball golf play. Let me know if I can be of assistance. I'm also confident that many of them could be recovered with one of those long telescoping pole retriever things. The carbon fiber ones with the suction cups (or the little hooks) are amazing. I would be happy to buy one and use it to try and recover discs too. Let me know!

That was a great event, really well run, and it was delightful that the weather improved so much on Sunday! What were the results of the CTP prizes? I had to leave after my 3rd round. My name was on the MA50 CTP, at least at one time. I'm curious if I won, and it would also be fun to know who won each CTP, and what the prizes are. I know there is tons of work to do after the event, and I'm not pressing, there's plenty of time. Thank you in advance.

I sppreciate the massive effort by the TD, staff, and volunteers!

I've got an item of concern:

OB lines can't simply"end." They must connect to a course boundary or OB line. If the marked line "ends" then its continuation must be defined. It might continue in line with its last direction. Or it might turn and be perpendicular to its last direction. Or continue at an angle. But it can't simply"end" in space. That would create a situation where lies could be uncertain.

This is a realization I came to when doing course design and directing events. I would be happy to discuss, explain, and help out with this. I'm sure this can be clarified before the event starts, without any need to change any existing documentation. Let me know if/how I can help with this.

Just had a delightful practice round, it's a beautiful course, had a little sticker shock on the $30 green fee, until I found there's an outdoor elevator to take you back to the parking lot after you're around, that's worth every penny!

I give the course four and a half stars out of five, only slight demerits for a bit of repetitiousness, but when you get to the last six holes, there's nice variety and it's refreshing!

I'm stoked to be playing this tournament, for the first time, and I know Anthony's going to be doing a fantastic job. I mean I ran into him out on the links, and was able to conveniently give him back a pink Corvette that I found with no name on it, to go into the lost and found.

I'm still holding out hope that someone has my go-to blue sparkle pipeline, that I apparently marooned at glendoveer. But I'm also headed to the depot, where Valerie was able to confirm ahead of time they've got more in stock, woohoo!

Course wise, I would just advise that you be mindful of the sand traps and putting greens that are out of bounds and present on nearly ever whole, and the fact that the disc golf course numbering parallels the ball Golf Course numbering until you get to about whole 14 or so, at which point they deviate.

A few more next tee signs would be nice, I ran into at least one group that got lost, but they got back on track, and joined up with us, and we all had a great time.

And I recommend you bring any sort of disc retriever on a pole that you have, Dusty saved my bacon twice, getting one of my disks out of a pond, and another one out of a tree. He almost got one of his out of the next Pond we encountered, and tried to get another white one but it was slightly out of range. I'm definitely going to get myself one of those collapsible carbon fiber retriever poles with the suction ball on the end, those seem highly effective.

All right, this 57-year-old 850 rated crusty is signing off, hoping for one of those flashes of brilliance, maybe a second thousand rated round in life, and in the extreme fantasy world, a possible first a tier win! Good luck to everyone out there can't wait to chunder with you all.

Hey everyone! Adrian from Ace Run Roasting / Birdie Fuel Coffee. I'll be vending drip coffee (and some merch) in TC at this event. I always have cups but if you have travel cups that's even cooler!

I'm not an official sponsor but I always love to give back when I can and Anthony has always been very kind to me. I also want to celebrate my new venture as owner of both Ace Run AND Birdie Fuel so:
Bonus #1: I'm throwing in a 4oz sample bag of beans to each division winner[1].
Bonus #2: I will gift an 8oz bag to whomever has the most Birdies during round 1. (One for "F" divisions, one for "M" divisions)
Bonus #3: I will gift an 8oz bag to anyone who hits an Ace!

Good Luck to everyone and I'll see you there!

I recently had to withdraw due to conflicting schedules and my refund of $180 was processed but I am missing the $20 for raffle tickets I paid for, TD tip, and also the Ace Pot… do I lose anything for having to withdraw about a month from the tournament or was it just a mistake by chance? Thanks!

So confused. If this is a repeat question, sorry. I just got excited when I saw availability, until I tried to signup. Waitlist = no guaranteed size for my hoodie = bummed. Oh well, I'm guessing there is a logical reason. Cheers!
