Good Evening Disc Golfers!

I was out setting up tonight at the course and Ben Svetkoff and Geoff Penton have been out working hard preparing everything... lots of flags out there! Big thanks to them!

You may have got emails from the Larrimac booking system, please ignore those.

Also, couple of notes:

- A-Hole... for the Plaid Jacket Open (PJO) Division, will NOT have ball golf fairways as Haszard on this hole. The hole is hard enough as it is! So, Hole 6, 16 and A-hole... no fairway hazard.
- Also, about the ball-golf fairways for the PJO division, some places are unclear. The pink flags are there as a guide, but the real indicator is the grass cut. When in doubt, just call it safe.
- Hole 16 by the green, there's two areas that are OB. They are flagged and taped.
- If you're in a sand trap anywhere, that's a hazard.
- If you're on the short-grass of a green, that's OB.
- PDGA Provisional info: https://www.pdga.com/rules/official-rules-disc-golf/80902
- Couple PDGA rules we're skirting... carts are allowed, vaping smoking (away from others) is allowed. And, you can have a Larrimac alcoholic beverage. But, any excess drinking will give you a DNF!
- Tee boxes have been flagged and are ready, tee off between the flags.
- Overflow parking: if there are no empty parking spots, there should be a staff member from Larrimac helping with the parking. If not, come see me or Phil.


That's about it for now, see you in the morning.

Good morning everyone!

We have the tee-times posted up on the uDisc website: 
https://udisc.com/events/2021-plaid-jacket-championship-YE2R?tab=scores

Juniors tee off at: 10:20am.  We will give them Paper and Pencil scorecards.

Since we can't do a shotgun start, we have tee times.  It's not ideal with these short days.  Thanks for your understanding.

Additionally, if you already have the uDisc app, you should see it on your home screen of that app.  ... more

Good morning everyone!

Since we can't do a shotgun start, we have tee times.  It's not ideal with these short days.  Thanks for your understanding.

Additionally, if you already have the uDisc app, you should see it on your home screen of that app.  We will ask the one person from each card to use the uDisc scoring the day-off so that we can have live-scoring (helps since we're not resorting the cards) and it makes showing results and giving awards easier at the end of the day.

We will have the player's meeting sent out to you by noon tomorrow with all the rules and what to expect during the day.

Attached is the Caddy Book, big thanks to Justin for putting this together:

Will the extra hole be playable before the tournament?

Colin McDonald    September 26, 2021 at 8:31pm

We've just sent out an email update... check your inbox. Let me know if you didn't get it.

Lee Donovan    September 24, 2021 at 11:49am

Are the fairways a hazard for all divisions ? I found the picture from last year that describes OB's hazards etc... is it still relevant ?

Don Lane    September 23, 2021 at 7:16pm

Just as a general question, if you throw left-handed please reach out to me so that I can match you up on your card with at least one other leftie. I currently have the following registered players identified: R. McGrath, D. McDonald, E. Scott, and A. Colford. Thanks!

Adam McKinty    September 22, 2021 at 11:48pm

Is it going to be possible to get a round in on the modified course, or will we know the planned OBs and hazards in time to imagine them? Or is adapting to those things part of the Plaid Jacket Challenge :) ?
