Hello everybody, and thank you for registering for the Sixth Annual Showboat Showdown sponsored by Evolution Disc Golf. We’re looking forward to an awesome day and some awesome scores from some awesome people! The weather looks great, about 80 degrees. We’ll have some bottles, but bring water just in case.

First of all, thank you to all of our sponsors, Evolution Disc Golf, Roberts Land Management LLC, Moses Roses, Dark Ace, and SMI. Their help makes this event successful.

We have seven berths to the Michigan Amateur State Championships to hand out. First of all, one is reserved for an age protected amateur division and one more is reserved for a women’s amateur division/player. For the remaining 5, we will be awarding them to the winner of each functional (two or more participants) amateur division. Any remaining ones will be put to the runners up in the largest divisions. In the event that a division winner has already won their berth, then the opportunity will fall to the next placed person in their division.

Make sure your phone is charged, because we are doing live scoring. That way all scoring mistakes are caught on the spot. You can access like scoring by using www.pdga.com/score and the password is “showdown26”

Let’s go over boundaries
First of all, in Hazard, you play from your lie with a stroke penalty. With OB, you go to the place you were last in bounds and play with a stroke penalty.
1 - Road and across in any direction.
2 - Must land on the island from the tee. If you miss, move to the drop zone with a stroke penalty. Going OB (the road and beyond) after that point will be played by normal OB rules.
3 - Path and across is hazard, River is OB.
4 - Road and across is OB, cement pad is OB, any OB shots move to the drop zone with a stroke penalty
5 - Path and across is hazard, water is OB
6 - Water is OB, blacktop path is IN BOUNDS
7 - Path and across is Hazard, water is OB, Gravel road and beyond is OB
8 - Road and across is OB, ball field is OB
9 - Water is OB, Across the road on right is OB (Grass and Woods), There will be a painted line to mark a boundary between the grass areas where the road goes to the back campgrounds to mark OB along there, Open and AM1 play long tee

CTPS
There are divisional and non divisional ctps and long putts thanks to our sponsors. Please READ THE CARD before you move something. Make sure it either is for everyone, or is for your division. Please bring in any flags for the holes you finish on AFTER the second round. It would be a big help to us if you also brought in any other signage as well from your finishing hole, but certainly not necessary.

Here is a list of the CTPs
Hole 2 - All Div (Moses Roses)
Hole 3 - All Div (Roberts’ Land Management)
Hole 5 - All Div (Dark Ace)
Hole 6 - Open Div ONLY
Hole 7 - MA40 ONLY
Hole 8 - All Div Long Putt (SMi)
Hole 9 (Short) - MA3 ONLY
Hole 10 - MA2 ONLY
Hole 15 - Ace Pool (If no aces are hit, and if you bought in)
Hole 16 - All Div 50/50 (if you bought in)
Hole 17 - MA4 ONLY
Hole 18 - MA1 ONLY

We will have some spotters on some of the holes where weeds may become a problem. We will have a tip jar set up at HQ and I know our spotters would appreciate any donations. Cash or discs.

Discs lost in the river: Unless you can get it quickly, I recommend moving on and coming back to get it at the break.

Trash. Pack it in, pack it out. Please help keep our course clean.

Pictures. If you take any photos, we’d love to see them. Please post them on the Chesaning Disc Golf page on Facebook.

For lunch, we have plenty of options in the area. Taco Bell, McDonald’s, the Krispy Krunchy Chicken (at the gas station), order ahead of time and get food at Riverfront Grille, Subway, Little Caesars, Hungry Howies, Franks has a deli, and if you want some food after the round, I can definitely recommend Restore 242 and Don Felipe’s enough. Whatever you want, you can probably find it here.

Payouts for amateur divisions will be handled through Evolution Disc Golf. Codes will be emailed post tourney. Open divisions will be paid out through PayPal by Evolution as well. Codes and payouts should be sent out on Monday, no later than Tuesday.

We are really looking forward to Saturday. It is going to be an amazing time. Can’t wait to see you all!

(Google is still finalizing it as I'm posting this, it shouldn't take much longer.) If it says it's not shared with you, it's also posted on Chesaning Disc Golf, Tri Cities Disc Golf. Or just request that I share it with you.

Hey everybody, I just found out that I forgot to include the Ace Pool and the 50/50 in the registration. I apologize for the oversight. Both are $5 each. If you have already registered, and would like to be part of each pool, please go back in and update your registration. Thank you, and again, I am sorry. - Mike
