Player's meeting will be tonight at 8:30. It will be on the Disc Golf Valdosta Facebook group. I will share the link on here, in case you can't find it.

I’ve been dealing with strep throat or a sinus infection for a couple days, and I may not be able to play by tomorrow. I know it is too late to refund my spot but am wondering if I could at least get the player pack or have a friend get it for me?

That's fine. Send me an email.

Reading through the OBs, what does "separating line" refer to?

William Holt   April 9, 2021 at 2:33pm

There is a OB line between a couple holes that “separate” the two fairways. These are there for safety purposes.

Jonathan Baughman   April 9, 2021 at 5:57pm

Gotcha thanks!

Grant/Will
Something has come up and I would like to withdraw as long as I can get a refund, is that still the case?

Dang, that’s lame, there was def people in the waitlist when I posted the message, :(

Nick Meyer   April 8, 2021 at 12:40am

please keep me posted if someone does register

Jonah Austin   April 8, 2021 at 2:51am

I just registered so you should be good.

Jonathan Baughman    April 5, 2021 at 1:46pm

Heads up: came out here to practice today and tripped and sliced my leg on rusty barbed wire on what I’m pretty sure is hole 5B

I’m so sorry to hear this. We thought we’d gotten it all out. Unless you mean the big pile of it past the basket. I will do my best to get out there in the morning early with the bolt cutters and move the rest of that farther from the basket

I came to Valdosta today and played all 27 holes to prepare for next Saturday. I've got a series of questions that will help me, but possibly others as well.

1. The "About" section mentions, "9:00am - First Round Starts (Look on PDGA tournament page for starting hole)". What date/time do you think we'll know what starting hole we'll be on?

2. If you know already, can you tell us which 20 holes we'll be playing round 1 and what holes we'll be ... more

I didn’t mention this in my earlier comment because it was already a long comment, but the VDGA Board Members (myself included) are working on getting holes renumbered. Like Grant mentioned, we have just within the past few months got these holes put in, and it changes the course flow. Unfortu ... more

James Coste   April 5, 2021 at 12:55pm

Thanks for the replies. I could tell that several of the tee pads were installed recently with the concrete bags still there. I should have followed the order on the Udisc layout as it would have shortened my walk. Looking forward to being up there with the club on Saturday. The added holes were ... more

Joshua Register   April 6, 2021 at 5:58pm

That is certainly something we could take into consideration. As I mentioned we are working to have 2 separate 18 hole courses at freedom park, the Stars course (original hole 1-11) including the lettered 2’s, 5’s and 8’s) and the Stripes course (original hole 12-18) including the ... more

What does the player pack look like? Is this trophy-only or will there be payout? Through who?

Permalink
Grant Folsom   April 2, 2021 at 2:14pm

Payouts will be done through Disc Golf America. They will be vending on site.

Nick Meyer   April 2, 2021 at 5:15pm

So no player pack then?

Grant Folsom   April 2, 2021 at 6:49pm

There will be a payout and a player's pack.

Thomas Laney    March 31, 2021 at 11:51pm

Is the course currently set up in the tourney layout?

Permalink
William Holt   April 1, 2021 at 12:01am

Yes other than 8b

Thomas Laney   April 1, 2021 at 12:37am

Awesome I’m gonna try and drive over this weekend to get a practice round in

Thomas Laney   April 2, 2021 at 3:30pm

Is there a layout on udisc for the course?

Chris Stone    March 25, 2021 at 4:57pm

I am currently on the wait list for mp40, could you please change that to MPO?

Grant Folsom   March 25, 2021 at 5:18pm

Done.

Conner Brewton    March 21, 2021 at 12:04pm

Can you move me up to Ma2

Grant Folsom   March 21, 2021 at 1:29pm

Done.

Chris Stone    March 16, 2021 at 3:08pm

Why not use more of the holes you guys have built and let more people into the tourney? Just a thought...

Grant Folsom   March 16, 2021 at 11:32pm

Rounds are already going to be fairly long. We don't want to be finishing in the dark.

Matt Eady    March 16, 2021 at 2:14am

We had alot more wiggle room to sneak into the MA1 field last year. Is it a pipe dream for me to think I'll make it? I'm so disappointing in myself for missing the boat on this one...

Grant Folsom   March 16, 2021 at 2:41am

At this point, it is highly unlikely. Sorry.

Jonathan Baughman    March 16, 2021 at 12:59am

I don’t quite understand the pin positions that are posted. The tourney description says 20 holes per round but there are more than 20 holes listed.

Permalink
Grant Folsom   March 16, 2021 at 2:40am

Each round will have a different layout. Round 1 will play 1-13 including the extra holes in that stretch. Round 2 will have a different layout. The goal is to ensure we get to play and show off the whole course.

Jonathan Baughman   March 16, 2021 at 2:41am

Oh awesome thank you!

Garrett Johnson    March 12, 2021 at 8:45pm

I will not be able to make it sadly. I need to drop and get a refund. Thank you!

Thomas Laney    March 12, 2021 at 3:43am

I accidentally signed up for MA1 can you switch me into MA2. Thanks.

Grant Folsom   March 12, 2021 at 4:52am

Done.

Lloyd Sawyer    March 10, 2021 at 4:04pm

Hey, Will it looks like I'm not going to be able to play on the 10th, I need to drop out, and get a refund thanks

Grant Folsom   March 10, 2021 at 4:44pm

Refund has been processed. Thank you for your support.

James Coste   March 12, 2021 at 12:21pm

We'll miss you Lloyd.

Andrew Pitts    March 9, 2021 at 5:23pm

Any idea of what the pin locations will be?

Grant Folsom   March 10, 2021 at 4:48pm

The layout has been put into the tournament description.

Chris Bruchak    February 24, 2021 at 2:17am

If two more people could drop out of intermediate, that would be great xD

Chris Bruchak   March 2, 2021 at 2:31am

I'll go ahead and pull out since it doesn't look like I'm gonna be making this.

James Letts    February 15, 2021 at 6:59pm

Not gonna make it do to sons medical reason
