I'm checking the weather and it looks like it is going to be a hot one!! We will have some water but please make sure you have some water bottles with you. Hydration is Key!!!
In addition to the $500 Ace Hole we will also add an Ace Pot! There are a lot of getable holes out there and we've been seeing some aces already this week! Let's make this fun and make it a $5 Buy in that is totally optional. If you hit an ace on ANY hole out there you will win the Ace Pot. If more than one person hits an Ace then the pot will be split with all the players that hit an Ace. If you hit the $500 Ace Hole you will also win the Ace Pot! Bring your Lincolns and get in on this!!

Outline of The Tournament
Plow N’ Chains 2022 is Back!!! Saturday July 16th Plow N’ Chains kicks off at the Soon To Be Famous Rosa Park Disc Golf Course and Takes over The Beer Garden at Iron Ox Brewing Company!! Since last year was such a hit, we decided to use the same Tee Time Format and player pack pick up at Iron Ox Brewing Company! We have kept the Putting Challenge, and also added an 18 Down Bounty, CTP’s at All 18 Holes and brought back the $500 Ace Hole Sponsored by Visit Santa Rosa! The UFOS will have their Pop-Up Shop set up and will be hosting a Raffle!!
The Tournament Layout is Set and Ready!! We have a Sell Out so it will be a packed day. We have roughly 150 players cycling through Rosa Park Disc Golf Course and the course is NOT shut down to regular public so please look out for people on the walking path, bicyclists on the path and jumps and casual weekend disc golfers. So please be patient and courteous to the general public.
Also it is very important to be on time (even better early) for your round so you are ready to tee off. If you happen to show up late to your round you can still catch up to your card, but you will incur a penalty on each hole that you missed. A score of +7 will be put in place of each of the missed holes.
We will be using UDisc for Live Scoring so please have your phone charged and ready to go. Also if you are unfamiliar with UDisc you can sign up for a FREE account and download the app to your Apple or Android device. Just use the email that you provided to sign up for the Tournament as your UDisc Account and it should link event with your account. If you are having trouble with UDisc, show up early to the course and someone will be there to help you out.
After completion of your round, head over to Iron Ox Brewing Company (3334 Industrial Dr. Santa Rosa, CA 95403) To pick up your Player Pack, Choose Your Disc, Pick your Pint and Participate in the Putting Challenge!! Galvan’s Eatery will be setting up and selling some of the most delicious Crispy Tacos on the Planet!! They will be set up and ready to serve by 12pm Noon. The UFOS will also have a table set up selling Discs and hosting a Raffle, so come by and help support!!
Approximately 1 hour after the final card finishes their round there will be a Final 9 holes for select divisions, FPO, MPO, MA1, MA2, MA40, MA50 and MA60, to crown those winners. The top 4 players of those divisions will carry over their 1st round scores and play off to determine the winner. We should have some great races to the finish!! If your division is not listed in the Final 9 and you believe your division would like a Final 9 then please contact me as soon as possible and I will send out an email blast to your division and have a vote to see if your division would like one set, majority vote wins.
Approximately 1 hour after the Final 9’s have been completed we will be hosting the Awards Ceremony and Stanley Keg Presentation in the Beer Garden of the Brewery.
Thank you again for all of your Support, it is truly appreciated and all the best of luck to all the Competitors!! Check

Closest to the Pin
Every hole this year will have a Closest to the Pin (CTP). To clear up any confusion we will have tape measures provided at each hole. To properly measure a CTP have a card mate hold the tip of the tape measure at the base of the Pin (Pole) and measure to the edge of your disc closest to the basket. Write down the Feet (Symbolized by ‘) and the Inches (symbolized by “) and your Name (For example it should be written as follows – Joe Discgolfer 5’ 3.6”,Also include the fraction of the inch. Note if your disc comes to rest closer than 1 foot to the pin then simply write the inches). Then stick the flag into the ground where your disc was to show the current CTP location. If your disc does not come to rest closer than the current CTP location (Flag) then no measuring is required since you aren’t closest to the pin.
$500 Ace Hole Sponsored by Visit Santa Rosa
We are so Stoked to Announce that the Visit Santa Rosa $500 Ace Hole is BACK!!! The Official hole will be revealed the day of the tournament so stay tuned!! If a single player Aces the $500 Ace Hole (The Disc Comes to Rest inside the Basket of the Ace Hole on One shot from the Tee Pad) Then that player will win $500. If more than one player Aces the $500 Ace hole during the day then there will be a CTP Shot after the conclusion of the last Card to determine the winner of the $500! Good Luck!!
18 Down Bounty
We are introducing the 18 Down Bounty this year! If a player shoots a “perfect round” of -18 they will win $250. If more than one player shoots a “perfect round” of -18 then there will be a playoff starting at hole 1 of all “perfect round” players after the conclusion of the final card. The player with the lowest score on hole 1 will win the $250. If 4 players are in the playoff and 2 score par or higher and the other 2 players both record a Birdie then those 2 players will move on with the others being eliminated.
Final 9’s
We have Final 9’s for the following Divisions this year. FPO, MPO, MA1, MA2, MA40, MA50, MA60. The Final 9 holes will be played by the top 4 finishers of those respected divisions. The Final 9 will be a continuation of your first round score to determine the winners of each division. The Final 9 will be a Shotgun start commencing approximately 1 hour after the final card has finished, hole assignments will be given at that time as well.
This is a rain or shine event, in case of inclement weather we will schedule a time for players to pick up their player packs. Thank you again for your support, it is greatly appreciated!!
