    ******Digital Player's Meeting***
    Hello everyone and thank you for coming to the very first Thanksgiving Classic at Pierson! Our 'Tournament Central' area will be located at the large shelter in between hole 12 and 13.     Due to the increasingly high numbers of positive COVID-19 cases in the region we will require that you wear a mask while in the tournament central area.*** We will begin checking in by 8:30am and will shotgun start at 9:30am. There will be an optional $5 ace pot available tomorrow, I will ask you at Check-In. If nobody aces there will be a throw off at the end of the second round. Amateur Player's packs will be an 'Ace Coalition' Club T-Shirt that they will receive at Check-In. We will have extra T-Shirts available for $20, but ask that you wait until after Check-In to ensure every Am Player has received their size of preference. The normal bathrooms have been winterized and closed for the season, but there is an outhouse south of the Eastern Playground. Otherwise there is a gas station across the highway. There will be water coolers located in the East Picnic shelter by hole 1 and 10 Teepad and 18 basket, Tournament Central and near hole 5 basket prior to crossing the road. There will be a CTP for each division and you will have a chance at it for both rounds. Hole Assignments as well as the Projected Pro Payout are published on the event page: https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/47433 (I will post projected payouts for the entire field by division in the comments.) For this event we will be using PDGA Live Scoring. Login to https://www.pdga.com/apps/tournament/score/login The event password is "Classic". Since only one person can run live scoring there will be paper cards available for each card in the scoreboard at tournament central. Someone else on the card will need to keep score on either the provided paper card or uDisc. Please compare the paper card/uDis
