Huge thanks to everyone for coming out on Saturday to the The Panhandle Open 7 presented by Flight Factory and Dynamic Discs! The weather was amazing for a day of Disc Golf.

We want to thank our main sponsors again, Dynamic Discs, Flight Factory Discs, and Visit Pensacola. Also, thanks to our premier and hole sponsors.

If you were in from out of town, please fill out this survey. Any recorded room nights helps us tremendously! Survey here -> https://www.pensacolasports.org/accommodations-survey

The tournament ran relatively smooth. I always learn a thing or 2, even after 7 years of these. I appreciate all of the patience towards the end of the day!

Big thanks to Noah Lackey for his photography work. If you like his work, check out his main page on smugmug on info on leaving him a tip!

Please see the caddy book or disc golf scene 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.

Address for courses:
Gator Links - 5988 US-90
Blackwater DGC - 6501 Chuck Prince St. (Turn on road by skate park and follow parking lot all the day back.

Parking Alert
1. Blackwater: We encourage people to carpool to Blackwater. While we do not anticipate issues for round 1, the parking will begin to get congested periodically throughout the day due to football schedules. In the event you cannot find a spot, I have circled additional parking. It is about a 5-10 minute walk, but, there is plenty of parking in front of the community center if you cannot find a spot.

2. Gator Links: The parking lot beside Gator Links Hole 1 is closed and under construction. Parking is only allowed in the main lot in front of campus. DO NOT PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THEY WILL TOW YOUR CAR. It is a 4-5 minute walk from the main lot.
Thanks for helping us out on this as we work through scenarios outside of our control.

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 4100 at PSC and in the portable restrooms at Blackwater. Parking will be challenging at both courses, so we encourage carpooling if possible.

Scoring will be handled through PDGA scoring.

URL: www.pdga.com/score
Access Code: panhandle7

Starting holes should be posted on the PDGA event page early Friday evening.

Awards, payout, and raffles will be held at Blackwater 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. Any tie breakers will be settled at Blackwater.

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

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

Good evening,

We wanted to provide an update on the event dates. While working through the logistics of securing PSC Gator Links on Sunday 10/8, we ran into a number of issues that we are not sure can be overcome in an adequate time frame before the event.

Due to this and in order to make a decision well in advance for participants, we will be shortening the event to a 1 day, 2 round event.

All divisions will still play PSC and Blackwater, however, the event will only be 1 round at each course on Saturday. This will not impact any other aspects of the event.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but, we continue to work through logistical challenges of a Sunday date at PSC. We want to ensure we adhere to all college rules and have restrooms for players, and this was not something that we were completely sure of at this time with the Sunday rounds.

If this changes your plans at all, we will provide a prompt refund. We are considering a 1 round unsanctioned event at Blackwater on Sunday, so stay tuned for more details on a fun cool down round if you are in town!

Be sure to check out the hotel links on the event page or Facebook page if you are travelling into town!
