Where is the awards ceremony Sunday?
Hi Bill. Is this where all the games are this afternoon as well?

With regards to hydration on the South Course Saturday, am I allowed to drink the water on hole 2 when I go OB off the tee? Or is that 2 strokes?

I’m unfamiliar with the Hollows South parking situation. Is there a parking lot? Is there a practice basket for putting warmup? Is there a field or net for driving warmup? Thanks!
Smaller parking lot yes, can get quite muddy if raining. Yes practice basket, yes net for driving.

So are the layouts just short to long for south and birch ? Is North it’s own layout ? And or one basket location ? Thank you in advanced will be checking courses out tom
When I played North last week all the baskets were in the long position except for 17 which is sort of short left (I assume because the area near the long position is kind of swampy)

Request to change division to MA2

Is the basket on North 17 going to be in that short position it was in last week?

Are all three courses cart friendly?
I'd say they're all doable. Hollows South has some inclines and a couple of split-log bridges but it's not too bad, I think.
I carted all three last year. Like Marc said, a couple of hairy spots on Hollows South, but otherwise doable.

Do we know which course MA2 will play Saturday and Sunday yet?
I see we're at North Friday
If it's the same as last year it will go North-Birch-South. I haven't seen that posted this year so it may not follow the same schedule.

Played a practice round at Birch Park this morning. Wanted to be sure we practiced the same tee pad on #3 that'll be used in the tournament - we played (what we thought was) the short tee, rather than the longer tee with pavers that is back maybe 50 ft and a bit more in the woods. Is that short tee the one that's being used in the tournament?
Thanks for the quick response, and glad I asked! Looks like I have an excuse for one more practice round.

Hi Bill - I had planned on bringing my son along to caddie on day 1; he had hoped to enter but his schedule didn't work out. However, he's 11, and I discovered the minimum age is 13. So is he out of luck to caddie one day?

What time is the players meeting on Thursday evening? I'm coming from work in CT and trying to plan things appropriately.
James Ogles May 12, 2022 at 4:57pm
What day is the mandatory player meeting?

When will tee times be posted
The earliest will likely be tomorrow (Friday), one week before the tournament, according to Bill’s earlier message. I understand the anxiety: I’ve got a tricky Friday with good tee times and problematic tee times.
Friday afternoon the tee times will be posted - watch for the email on Friday- do you need help with anything - please send us an email if so - thanks -

Saw in one of the comments below that there's a document that talks about the OB rules for the 3 courses. Was wondering about both the fence and the path on holes 1-4 playing Birch Park this morning. Would it be possible to get a copy of that document - my e-mail is [email redacted]
I believe last year the fence was OB but nothing on the road. But it could change for this year so I'd just wait for the official notes to be sure.
The Fence is not OB. the pond on hole 1 is OB. Besides that no OBs until the Back 9. (99% sure that is accurate.)

I registered in a moment of giddiness thinking I would be able to finagle a day off from work on that Friday, but that is not happening. I submitted a withdrawal request, but my question is this: Could I be useful as a volunteer in some manner on Saturday and Sunday? It seems like a great event and I would like to be part of it somehow.
If you are serious - call the store today - 10 - 2 and ask for Norma - thank you

Hi Bruce and Norma,
I'm curious if the schedule has been laid out yet for where each division will play each day? I'm coming from out of town and starting to look into hotel options.
