Hey everyone,

Hope everyone had a blast today! I'm loving the new pin changes! 

Changes: 
Hole 2 moved back to OG setting

Hole 3 moved back to OG setting

Hole 11: NEW par 4 setting. This hole plays about 650 feet around 330 past the OG setting over the path and down in the little gulley. USE A SPOTTER. There is some tall grass past the basket. Also PLEASE give hole 9 the right away putting out. If there is a group on the tee pad, spotting their drives will help pace of play a ton. 

HOLE 11 NEW HOLE RULES: Left of ob flag line that wraps around the bathroom. Road and over on the left. PATH IS IN BOUNDS

Hole 14 moved back to OG short setting

Hole 15 NEW setting under the tree. Clocked it at about 450 and little downhill plays about 430. The OB opened up and is now on either side of the basket, making a squared green. OB on the left is circles edge. OB on the right is 75 feet. This line connects to the OB line already there long. 

Hole 18 Moved to OG setting

The park host asked for everyone to SLOW DOWN coming into the park. He said there was nearly an accident. Not blaming disc golfers at all because there was a ton of people in the park today but lets do our part and at least make sure we aren't speeding through. 
We will have water at the check in area again. No need to check in tomorrow unless you have any questions. Round 3 groups are posted on PDGA. https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/61678

We are teeing at 9am so hopefully we can beat the heat. See everyone in the morning!

Hey everyone,

Some last minute notes for everyone before the morning.

Hole 3 has a stick pile that is about 30 short left of the pin. The park unfortunately couldn't get it cleaned up. Be cautious if you find yourself in there. If you need to take a minute to move some of the dead sticks behind your lie, feel free to do so. Safety first.

All of the OB flags are up and ready to go. The right side flags are a little bit hard to see on 10 because of the length of grass so if you are not certain, I recommend walking up a bit and checking it out. If you find yourself close and on the line, look from flag to flag to decide if the disc is OB as a group. If it's too close to call, benefit goes to the player.

There are no drop zones for OB. Play traditional OB rules taking a meter off from the last place your disc was in bounds.

Water: We will have water at the check in area at the filbert grove. You'll be able to swing through there after playing hole 18 or if you're feeling ambitious, after playing hole 9. There are spigots throughout the course that have good water. They are located on the right side fairway of hole 1, on the left side of 8's fairway that is conveniently placed to fill up on the way to hole 9 or in between holes 15 and 16, then the last one is in between holes 12 and 13 near 13's tee box. Please make sure to utilize these.

Check in: Check in will be at the filbert grove, same as last year. There will be an ez up over a picnic table. Check in and player pack pickup is from 7:45-8:30.

Player packs: Player packs will be available at check in and will be first come first serve. Everyone will get a Limited Edition Corey Ellis Undertaker and a PM Z Zone.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in the morning for a great day of disc golf! If you have any questions, please reach out.

Cheers!

Hey everyone!

Welcome to the 2022 Pac West Classic Presented by Resistance Discs!

Some notes for this week.

The park is doing everything they can this week to have the course as ready to play as possible. There are a few pin positions that need to be cleaned up before they are tournament ready.

When practicing, I would practice as many of the pin locations as possible. Pins will be moved throughout the weekend/tournament. The official round 1 layout should be in Thursday or Friday afternoon after I see how much work has been done by the park and the pin positions we will be able to play.

Parking: We will be using the regular parking area for disc golf, as well as the oak grove area that is left of 18's fairway and the parking lot on the practice basket side of 1. Please refrain from parking in the field where horse trailers park. We do not have parking in that field. We should have enough parking, however Wheatland is a public park and we can't say how many non disc golfers will be at the park on a given day so please car pool if you can.

Drop outs/refunds: If you drop after Wednesday at 8pm we will not be attempting to fill your spot. Per PDGA refund policy, any player who drops after this time will only receive a 25% refund.

Players who officially request to withdraw from an event within 14 days of the start of the event and prior to the event’s published closure of registration and waitlist replacements (within one week is recommended) will receive a 100% cash refund minus up to a $10 handling fee ONLY if their spot in the tournament is filled through either the waitlist or a walk-up entry (if offered). If the player’s spot is NOT filled, the TD has the choice to provide EITHER a 25% cash refund OR just the player’s pack they would have received if they had attended (minus the cost of shipping). In the case of a player in a Pro division for an event without a Pro player pack worth at least 25% of the Entry Fee, the TD will provide the 25% cash refund.

Players who do NOT officially request to withdraw from a registered spot playing in the event prior to the published closure of registration and waitlist replacements and don’t play (aka a no-show), forfeit their entry fee and do NOT receive a refund or player’s pack. This does NOT apply to a waitlist player; 1.03.B.

Am players packs/payout: Amateurs will be receiving a limited edition Corey Ellis Metallic CryZtal Undertaker as well as a PM Z Zone. All leftover amateur entries minus the value of players packs and tournament fees will be paid out via Resistance Discs scrip.

Tee times will be posted no later than Thursday at 8pm. Hole rules and tournament details will be sent out by that time as well.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

Cheers!
