Hi All,

Thank you for signing up for the Paul & Evelyn Shreve Memorial Tournament at Shreve Hollow Disc Golf Course in Chillicothe, OH. Below is everything that you need to know ahead of this year’s event.

Getting to the Course

Shreve Hollow Disc Golf Course is a private course located at 309 Current Road, Chillicothe, OH 45601. Most GPS services should easily provide directions to the course. For most, the quickest way to the course will be via US Route 50. Turn onto Sugar Run Road. Turn right at the stop sign to continue on Sugar Run Road, and after about 2 miles, turn left onto Current Road. The course is at the very end of this road. A Dynamic Discs banner will be placed at the turn from Sugar Run Road to Current Road.

As this is a private course, parking is limited. We are therefore asking that, wherever possible, please car share. This will limit the number of cars needing to park. Upon arrival, you will be directed to where to park by a member of our team. Please park as close as reasonably possible to the vehicle next to you so that we can maximize the limited space we have. You may want to consider ensuring that all of the gear you need for the day is in the trunk of your car to limit the number of times you may need to access the side doors.

Please note that there is limited cell service available at the course.

Registration

Registration will take place at the rear of the house on the property, beginning at 7:30 AM. Registration will close at 8:30 AM. There will be a very brief players’ meeting at 8:30 AM before the beginning of the round at 9:00 AM. Please try to arrive at the course no later than 8:00 AM to ensure that everyone can register and that we are not delayed in starting.

If you cannot make the event or you know you will be late, please text or call me at 740-466-4363. Please include your full name in your message.

Once you are registered, you can collect your player pack disc. This year, you will have seven different molds to select from. These are:


- Dynamic Discs Lucid EMac Judge

- Dynamic Discs Lucid Felon

- Dynamic Discs Fuzion Burst Evidence

- Latitude 64 Opto Pioneer

- Latitude 64 Gold Burst Ballista Pro

- Westside Discs VIP Queen

- Westside Discs VIP Air Northman

If you would like to secure a particular mold, we recommend that you arrive early to ensure it is available. We have 10 discs in each mold available.

Extra Player Pack Discs

There will be additional player-pack discs available for purchase. These will be available for sale during payout after the second round is complete, along with all of our other discs and merchandise.

Club Membership Merchandise

If you are a First Capital Flight Club member and have not yet collected your wooden bag tag and club-stamped disc, you may do so at this event. You will be given your bag tag at registration, along with a voucher for one free club-stamped disc that you can redeem during payout after round two.

Weather

Looking at the forecast, there is a risk of rain and thunderstorms throughout the day. We will monitor the situation, but please be prepared for the weather. Shreve Hollow Disc Golf Course does an excellent job maintaining the course, but there are naturally a number of hazards throughout the course, so please be extremely cautious, especially on some of the steep hills. Rain will cause these to become slippery.

If lightning is detected within a 15-mile radius of the course, the event will be immediately suspended. Due to the limited cell service available at the course, we will not be able to communicate messages to players via PDGA Live. Therefore, if you hear three consecutive horns during your round, please mark your lie and return to Tournament Central immediately. We will then advise players here as to when the round will resume.

Course Rules

Below is the full list of course rules for each hole. Along with your scorecard, you will also receive a copy of the rules in paper form. We recommend saving this email to your phone too, for quick access.

MA4, MA50, FA2, FA3, and FA4 players will be playing the course from the short tees. The short tees have been marked with yellow flags, and affect holes 3, 8, 10, 11, 14, 17, and 18. All other divisions will be playing from the regular tees.

On several holes, white marking flags or white paint will be used to mark the OB line. If paint is used, the white line shall be considered in bounds. If your disc is touching any part of the white line, your disc is in bounds. Where only flags are used, the OB line shall be considered to be a straight line between each flag. If your disc is completely beyond this line, your disc is OB.

HOLE 1 – 186’ – Par 3
In or over creek to the right is OB, as marked by white flags and paint. If your disc lands OB, play your next shot, with a penalty stroke, from the point at which it crossed the OB line.

HOLE 2 – 275’ – Par 3
No OB

HOLE 3 – 224’ (Reg Tee) / 186’ (Short Tee) – Par 3

OB long, left, and right of the basket, as marked by white flags and paint. If your disc lands OB, play your next shot, with a penalty stroke, from the point at which it crossed the OB line.

HOLE 5 – 362’ – Par 3
This hole features three mandatories.

First, your disc must pass between the two mandatories immediately in front of the tee box. If you miss either mandatory, you must re-tee with a penalty stroke. Each failed attempt will result in a penalty stroke and a re-tee.

Second, there is a single mandatory on the left side of the fairway. If you miss this mandatory, proceed to the drop zone with a penalty stroke.

Before the second mandatory, there is also an OB line on the left side of the fairway, marked with paint and flags. If your disc lands OB before the mandatory, you must also proceed to the drop zone with a penalty stroke. Do NOT throw from where your disc crossed OB.

HOLE 6 – 195’ – Par 3
The tall grass on the left of the fairway is OB, as marked by flags. If your disc lands OB, play your next shot, with a penalty stroke, from the point at which it crossed the OB line.

No OB

HOLE 8 – 252’ (Reg Tee) / 158’ (Short Tee) – Par 3

HOLE 10 – 388’ (Reg Tee) / 255’ (Short Tee) – Par 3
On or over the road, long of the pin, is OB. All tall grass is considered OB. If your disc lands OB, play your next shot, with a penalty stroke, from the point at which it crossed the OB line.

HOLE 16 – 148’ – Par 3

HOLE 17 – 275’ (Reg Tee) / 200’ (Shot Tee) – Par 3
This is an island green, as marked by the black mulch. You may land short of the island in the short grass fairway. Anything beyond the railroad ties, that is not on the island, is OB. Beyond the fence is also OB.

If you throw OB before establishing yourself on the island, you will proceed to the drop zone with a penalty stroke. Until you establish yourself on the island, any OB throw from the drop zone will result in a penalty stroke and a re-throw from the drop zone.

Please note that the drop zone is 27’ from the pin. Jump putts are not permitted

Once you have established yourself on the island, if you throw OB, you will not proceed to the drop zone. Play your next shot, with a penalty stroke, from the point at which it crossed the OB line.

Additional Notes
All water will be considered casual. You may take casual relief from any standing water without penalty.

White painted circles on holes 1, 8, and 18 have been used to mark yellow jacket nests. The nests have been sprayed, but you may take casual relief from these areas without penalty.

Course Rules & Facilities

Shreve Hollow Disc Golf Course is a privately owned course, and they do amazing work in maintaining and improving this course. They are working with First Capital Flight Club to put on this event, and we want to make sure it is a great relationship that grows each year. We therefore ask that you respect the course and leave it exactly as you found it. Please do not litter anywhere on the course. Trash cans / bags will be located at Tournament Central.

A porta-potty will be available at Tournament Central. Bottled water will also be available.

Scoring

Due to the limited cell service at the course, scoring for the event will NOT be completed through PDGA Live. Instead, your card will receive a paper scorecard that will need to be handed in at the end of each round.

New PDGA rules require that everyone on the card must keep a scorecard for the entire card. You may keep score throughout the round however you see fit. This can be on a paper scorecard, or on UDisc, for example. The important thing is that everyone on the card verifies the scores after each hole to ensure there are no discrepancies.

At the end of your round, all players on the card must check the final scorecard to ensure its accuracy before it is submitted. Any errors could result in a stroke penalty. Only one paper scorecard should be submitted per card. The entire card should sign the back of the scorecard to show that they approve, and it should be handed in to myself (Ryan Hutchings) or Denver Snyder.

Card groups and starting holes will be finalized shortly before the player's meeting. At the conclusion of the meeting, we will announce each card, and one member of the card will need to collect the official scorecard. Additional paper scorecards may be taken as necessary.

Start Time

The first round will begin at exactly 9:30 AM. The player's meeting will finish at least 15 minutes prior to the round starting to give players sufficient time to reach their starting holes. There will be a horn to signify the 2-minute warning , a horn to signal the beginning of the round. You must be at your starting hole at the 2-minute warning, and you may not throw any practice throws once the 2-minute warning has passed. Any practice throws could be penalized. This applies to both rounds.

Lunch

Lunch will be provided by Shreve Hollow Disc Golf Course. It is at least a 15 minute drive to the nearest store or restaurant, so please consider taking advantage of this, or bringing lunch with you, to avoid having to leave the course.

The lunch break will last approximately one hour from the time that the final card completes the first round. It will be YOUR responsibility to check in with event staff to confirm the start time of the second round. We will announce the start time at least 30 minutes before the round begins. Exactly 10 minutes prior to the start time, similar to before round 1 we will once again announce the cards and starting holes. As was the same with round 1, one member of the card will collect the official scorecard. A 2-minute warning horn, and a start round horn, will again be used.

Tie Break

In the event of a tie for first place in any division, the tied players will play holes 1-5 on repeat until the tie is broken. A coin shall be flipped to determine the tee order. The order shall then rotate after each hole.

Closest to the Pin (CTP)

There are several CTP prizes available throughout the event. The CTP holes will be announced during the player's meeting. If your disc lands closest to the pin, move the marking flag to the front of your disc and write your name on the card. At the end of the round, if your final hole is one of the CTP holes, please return the marking flag and card to the registration area.

If your final hole in round two is one of the CTP holes, please bring the CTP flag back to Tournament Central at the end of the round.

CTP Prizes & Ace Fund

Immediately after the second round, CTP vouchers will be handed out to the winners.

A $5 ace fund is available for this event. If you have not entered already, you will have the option to do so at registration. If any player throws an ace, they will win the entire ace fund. If multiple aces are hit, the fund will be split evenly between the players.

If no ace is thrown, we will have a CTP throw-off. Each player will have a chance to throw one disc from the marked position to the chosen basket. The two players closest to the pin will split the ace fund evenly. If any player throws an ace on the throw off, they will win the entire ace fund.

If an ace has been thrown during the event, the same CTP throw-off will still take place whilst the payout is calculated, but there will be a single winner of a $20 payout voucher.

Payout

The projected payout for each division will be published on Friday night.

Once the second round is complete, and all scorecards have been submitted, we will begin calculating the payout. Those who do win a payout will receive a signed paper voucher that lists their name, division, place, and amount. As a club, we will have over 700 discs to choose from, as well as bags, baskets, minis, t-shirts, and other merchandise.

Once you found the items that you would like to buy with your payout voucher, bring the items and your voucher to a member of the team handling payout and they will help you check out. If you would like to purchase items valued higher than your payout voucher, you can pay the difference. Due to limited cell service, we will only accept cash. Those who do not win any payout also have the option of buying any of our inventory.

PDGA Sanctioning, Membership, & Ratings
