Hey Folks,

Looking forward to seeing you all this Saturday! As of now it looks like we are going to have wonderful Fall Weather - mid-50's with a light breeze.
Aside from some rain in the morning, we should be all clear! Let's be covid-smart and have some fun!

Thanks to our title sponsor, Innova Champion Discs!

Hey Folks,

Looking forward to seeing you all this Saturday! As of now it looks like we are going to have wonderful Fall Weather - mid-50's with a light breeze.
Aside from some rain in the morning, we should be all clear! Let's be covid-smart and have some fun!

Thanks to our title sponsor, Innova Champion Discs!

Please Read Thru All of This! This is your players meeting.

1) What to Bring.
- Dress for the weather. If that includes a costume, awesome.
- Bring a flash light and make sure your phone is fully charged
- Bring your own beverage and food to enjoy during the break
- A chair to hang out by the bonfire
- Bring a mask to wear when near tournament central
- If you have glow discs, great. If not, no worries. We will have all the supplies available to glow up your discs for the night round.
- If you'd like to bring a pumpkin, we can use it to fancy up the course

2) The Tournament.

No players meeting. Players must check in at Tournament Central so we know you're there.
Amateur players packages will be available for pickup.
$5 Ace Pool will be available at Tournament Central

Scoring will be done electronically via Udisc email scorecards after your round to [email redacted]; Please ensure someone in your group has the app.
Scorecards and pencils will be available if anyone would like to keep a back-up scorecard.

You will play both rounds with the same group, from the same starting tee.

Course Rules:
- OB on or over gravel entry road
- OB over property line on hole 11
- Mando on Hole 11

2-1)First Round: 2:30 PM

Please be on your assigned tee by 2:25 PM
2 Minute Blast at 2:28; Followed by 2:30 Blast for start.
Immediately after your round verify your scores with your cardmates and send to [email redacted]

Professional and Advanced Divisions: Udisc Layout: Fall 2020 blue tees (Long) 17 holes.
Women, Intermediate and Rec Divisions: Udisc Layout: Fall 2020 - orange (Short) 17 holes.

2-2) In between rounds:

HELP NEEDED:
A- We need a few volunteers to glow up the course. This involves placing lights on baskets, marking short tees and key fairway objects with glow sticks. Last year Barry took this on himself, we started late and he became sullen. In a perfect world, this will be done while we are tallying league scores before the awards get started. If you're available to help, look for Barry after the first round for supplies and very, very detailed instructions.

B- Does anyone want to take on the bonfire? There is a pile of wet wood near hole 2 short tee where the ghosts of past bonfire attempts have thwarted us year after year. Jesse - would you and your crew like to take this on?

LEAGUE AWARDS (likely around 5:30 pm)

We will need 30 minutes or so after the last scorecard is in to tally final league results.

I will post a start time at Tournament Central. We will have plenty of space to gather respecting social distance norms.

See League comments below.

3) Other Events within the Tournament:
