Greetings,
Welcome to the first ever Disc Golf Tournament hosted by the Greenhorn Disc Golf Club. We are excited to have all of you join us for what we hope to be an epic time. There are a few things I would like to go over as the event gets under way.
Directions:
If you are not familiar with the area the course is located at Greenhorn park in Yreka Ca on Greenhorn Rd. If coming from the south take exit 773, turn left off the freeway then a right at the stop light. Greenhorn Rd will be on your left about ¾ of a mile or so. Turn left at Tractor Supply. As you go up the road you will see the lake on the left followed by the entrance to the park. If coming from the North take exit 773 then a right off the freeway then follow the previous directions. Now parking is somewhat limited at the main parking lot. If we run out of places to park we will need to park at the lower park located on Ranch Ln one block south of Greenhorn Rd. From there you can walk the path on the south side of the lake to get to the upper park where we will meet on the West lawn. I have attached a picture of where we can not park in the upper parking lot. It should also be flagged off.
Tournament Central will be on the west lawn under the tent. We will meet there and hand out player packs and have the players meeting. The schedule of events will go as below
Player check in and player pack pick up 8am
Players Meeting 8:30am
Tee Off 9:15am
Lunch after final card gets turned in. 45 to 1 hr. for lunch
Round 2 will start at 2pm subject to change depending on timing of Round 1 and lunch
Awards at 6pm.
Rules:
I have just a few things here. We will be forgoing the 2 meter rule for this tournament. Again no 2 meter rule. The only OB on the course is hole 14, there is a triple Mando. If missed, you take your stroke and play from the drop zone located in front of the Mando marked with a flag. Keep in mind this is a public park and the public use the trails often throughout the day. There are a couple holes where we need to be mindful of hikers and such. Hole 6 ,7 and 9 run along a trail, 10 crosses a trail and 18’s basket is just off the trail. With the foliage on the trees this can make it hard to see people so do your best. It is also rumored that we may have some spectators watching. Keeping in mind this is in a park so if you bring it in bring it out. There will be trash cans on the course please use them.
Rounds:
Round one will be played with the baskets in there original locations. And round 2 will be played with baskets 1,8, and 18 in there alternate locations. Round 1 cards will be mixed divisions with the second round being by score when possible.
The weather is expected to be in the 70’s and some cloud cover. Water will be available throughout the course should forget or run out. We don’t need anyone getting to hot out there. There are bathrooms in the park but not out on the course. The course does have some taller grasses that unfortunately we are not allowed to cut down. It is likely that you could see or get a tick so be prepared we are in a wooded area. The gate to the park will be open by 7:30am if you would like to get some practice in. We also have our league night tonight at 5:30pm if you would like to join us. We will also be raffling off extra discs and Greenhorn Disc Golf shirts and swag during the awards. Tickets will be $1 each. 6 for $5 or 25 for $20.
Again I would like to thank each and everyone of you for joining us in our first event. It should be awesome. See you on the course!
Thanks
