Good evening,

Thanks to everyone who attended the Panhandle Open 6. We had exceptional weather for a day of Disc Golf. Pro payout was 190% and Amateur event value was around 150%.

First and foremost, please take a moment to fill out this survey if you stayed in a hotel or traveled in town in any capacity. This helps Pensacola Sports track things and helps future events. Please note everyone in your party if possible.

We had a few scheduling setbacks and I appreciate everyone's patience working through the cross country and longer rounds that came from that. We are working with the dean at the college to ensure this does not happen again.

We had a few other unexpected hiccups, but overall everything ran smoothly. The event report is submitted now that I have all follow ups finalized. Please remember to make sure your card and scores are submitted correctly in the future, as we had 3-4 cards with submission issues.

I learn new things every year, which is a great part of making things bigger and better.

We have some big things in the works for next year, so stay tuned.

Thanks,

I just withdrew due to a death in the family, if I can get my money back that would be great, if not, then you can give my player pack to Holden Tate for me

Much of this is the same info sent before, but I do have a few updates here at the top.

1. Updated Caddy book was sent. I had a 19th hole listed on the original, and we are only playing 18.

2. Important update for Pool C At Gator links in the morning.
I was informed about a cross country meet a week ago. This is a specific PSC meet, therefore Disc Golf takes the 2nd priority. This was the reason we bumped tee off to 930.

Much of this is the same info sent before, but I do have a few updates here at the top.

2. Important update for Pool C At Gator links in the morning.
I was informed about a cross country meet a week ago. This is a specific PSC meet, therefore Disc Golf takes the 2nd priority. This was the reason we bumped tee off to 930.
It is HIGHLY encouraged that players warm up at Blackwater in the morning. If you cannot, Disc Golfers will be limited to holes 4-10 and 12-15 for warm ups. I recognize this is not ideal, but this is the only option.
Anyone who does not follow these rules or gets reported for throwing on a non designated hole will be disqualified.
I’ll be at Gator Links in the morning instead of Blackwater to make sure I remind everyone of these rules. Please stick to these. I’ll have a reminder in the email tonight too.

3. Starting holes are set on the PDGA event page.

4. I have attached photos of the Mando and Drop Zone of hole 14 at Blackwater. Please be aware of this mando when teeing off. I added caution tape onto the tree for more visibility. I had planned to mount a metal sign, but it was stolen from the course earlier this week.

Let's start off by thanking our sponsors for their support.

Please see the caddy book for information on schedule, pools, courses, tees, etc. The caddy book also lists the OB for each course and hole distances. If you are unsure of a call, please collaborate with your group and play a provisional if necessary.

**Tee time has been moved to 9:30AM. Cross Country is running at Gator Links at 7AM and expects to finish around 900AM. We recommend warming up at Blackwater if possible. You may not practice on holes when cross country is running. Any dangerous complaints of a player throwing on runners will result in disqualification.

Address for courses:
Gator Links - 5988 US-90
Blackwater DGC - 6501 Chuck Prince St.

I will be set up at Blackwater DGC in the morning. Check in is optional and Am's may get their player's pack at any time during the day.

Restrooms will be available at both courses. Building 4000(Gym) at PSC and in the Baseball storage area at the new Milton course. Parking will be challenging at both courses, so we encourage carpooling if possible.

Scoring will be handled through PDGA. This is very easy to use and will save a ton of time for all participants.

URL: www.pdga.com/score
Access Code: panhandle6

Starting holes should be posted on the PDGA event page early Friday evening. https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/61748

Awards, payout, and raffles will be held at Gator Links in that order after the conclusion of the 2nd round. Please ensure score cards are submitted quickly after round 2 to help us get the awards ready quickly.

If you bought raffle tickets, these will be given during check in. You must be present to win to coordinate getting your items.

Please send me an email if you have any questions! I look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.

Thanks,

Are there any slots to switch to ma4?

Phoebe Isaacs    October 3, 2022 at 11:12pm

Ryan, I need to switch to players pack only. Not gonna be in town, want to open my spot. Just me! Will is still playing.

JOHNATHAN KING    October 3, 2022 at 4:53pm

Ryan - just submitted withdrawal request - Dr is making me stay in walking boot for at least 2 more weeks from foot surgery I had 6 weeks ago - very sorry hate to miss this and lumberjack as well as these are some of favorites and you actually set up for MA70 - if this is too late and I do not fit criteria for withdrawal let me know and I will come by shop and get my player pack - hopefully someone can get on off the waiting list - thanks - John

Christian Torres    October 3, 2022 at 2:15pm

This is my 2nd tournament and I forgot to put novice

Christian Torres    October 3, 2022 at 2:13pm

Can I get switched from MA2 to MA4 please

Joshua McGinnis    October 3, 2022 at 11:00am

I am going to have to drop from the tournament.

Kevin M. Schopmeyer    October 2, 2022 at 3:10am

Keith Tate    October 1, 2022 at 6:55pm

My whole family is traveling for the tournament. We only have one car & we are all playing. Is is possible to put us all at the same course together? (Keith Tate MA4, Holden Tate MA3, Amy Tate FA4, Brody Tate MJ15). Also, we don't have an adult to caddie for Brody. If possible, we would like to get him on a card with one of us for at least the first round. If not, I understand. Thanks.

Nathan Fontenot    September 30, 2022 at 5:24pm

I'm only 863 rated, you can fit me wherever.

Nathan Fontenot    September 30, 2022 at 2:15pm

Any MA40 spots?

Jessica Cooper    September 29, 2022 at 7:45pm

Do we know yet if it will be a shotgun start? Also, will cards be randomized or can you play on the same card as anyone set to play your same course at the same time?

Ryan Vann    September 29, 2022 at 3:27pm

We are 9 days out! Be sure to follow this page or the Disc Golf Scene comments for updates. I’ll send out an email mid next week.
A couple of important things.
1. Refunds - within 14 days of the event, your refund is dependent on whether there is a waitlist person in your pool to fill your spot. If there is not, you may be impacted. If you cannot play and would prefer a player pack, please let me know via email or on disc golf scene.

3 -> Reminder: We are excited to announce that Pensacola Sports and Visit Pensacola are on board for the event again this year. These organizations work hard to show off and support everything that Pensacola and surrounding areas have to offer.
One of the most important things to these organizations is to show that people are coming to Pensacola and staying for these events. Below is a link with some partner hotels that can be booked at discounted rates. If you book a hotel, please make sure to log your stay at this link. These survey's are critical to keeping the support of Visit Pensacola
Survey -> https://pensacolasports.org/accommodations-survey/
Here is the hotel link if you or someone you know is coming into town. If you are coming for the event, please consider staying an extra night and enjoying the area in Pensacola!

This may be a dumb question and I apologize, but what does it mean when names appear in bold under players registered for the event?

Dustin Garner    September 13, 2022 at 7:18pm

I just rated out of intermediate. Will you be able to get me into advanced?
