Daniel Ragland Thanks to everyone who came to play. It was an amazing day and I appreciate all your feedback on the course. I will talk to Connor and see where the course needs to go from here. I hope you all plan on attending next year, although it will definitely be held earlier in the year. Nov 9, 2020

Daniel Ragland All pro payouts have been sent, amateur payouts were handled at the venue. If you have any lingering questions or issues, please contact me. Thanks everyone for playing and enjoy a beautiful day of disc golf Nov 8, 2020
Daniel Ragland Work is frantically underway to finish up the course. All added OB is complete. Major change is hole 8 tee moved a few feet to the left and created a straight tunnel shot at the basket. Nov 6, 2020
[member not found] Nov 7, 2020 Great!
Mike Herzog Hey Dan,
Trip and I talked and if Hank is still having back issues or such we will move to open, just have one pro division. Keep up the good work. Wish I was off today to trick out a course too...it's gonna be nice out. Nov 6, 2020
Daniel Ragland Nov 6, 2020 Ok, thanks for letting me know. I spoke with Hank yesterday and he plans to play. Will your hot streak continue from last weekend? ..that second round was straight fire. Thanks for the support.
Daniel Ragland Nov 6, 2020 Mike. Trip is out. Do you want to go to MPO? Or stay and MP50 with Hank?
George Meindl I would just like to say thank you to Daniel Ragland for being extremely patient and attentive in answering everyone's questions and organizing the event; thank you for all that you have done to provide us with the opportunity to play! Nov 5, 2020
Daniel Ragland Nov 5, 2020 Thanks George. New course, first time working through all these details.
Sherry Herzog was wondering about some of the OBs; it appears that there is OB that surrounds the tee of 2 and 11. If that is correct we will be throwing from an OB area? Nov 4, 2020

That is what I was thinking too. I would suggest to simply make the area that contains the t-box for ... show more ›

Daniel Ragland I was not clear in the player meeting, but pros will receive CASH, not winery gift cards. Nov 3, 2020
Daniel Ragland I made a video of the virtual player meeting which you can view here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFPkNCE-EDY Nov 3, 2020
Daniel Ragland I just emailed everyone the updated virtual player meeting information. If you don't receive it, let me know. Nov 3, 2020
Rick Coates Have to unfortunately withdraw Oct 29, 2020
Daniel Ragland Oct 29, 2020 Sorry to hear that.
Bryan Elsworth Daniel,

How many people are on the AM waitlist right now? Oct 25, 2020
Daniel Ragland Oct 25, 2020 8
mark humphrey Do you call every Monday to see if NY state allows more people? Oct 24, 2020
Daniel Ragland Oct 24, 2020 I regularly check the regulations regarding this gathering.
[member not found] Oct 25, 2020 Thanks. I know its not your fault .
Daniel Ragland UPDATE 10/23 - winery will now open at 7 for restrooms, lunch orders and concessions. Division will be set in stone Thursday Nov 5 at 7 pm. If you want to adjust your division do it before then. Thanks to everyone who signed up, I’m sure you will enjoy the course. Oct 24, 2020
Daniel Ragland I sent an email in the last few days describing all the OB for the course. If you did not get it, let me know. Oct 22, 2020
Craig Gelder Been trying to practice this course. Any decisions on the OB areas for the tournament? Dirt roads, tall grass holes, etc? Oct 18, 2020

Daniel Ragland Oct 19, 2020 I just sent out an email with a word doc that explains the OBs among other things. The whole grassy area around 1's basket, 2's tee and 10's tee will be OB. This will also come into play on hole 8.
[member not found] Oct 19, 2020 8 is bear of a hole off the tee. Then 2 grassy area is OB if you make it out of the woods. Ouch!
Daniel Ragland Oct 19, 2020 8 is tough, agreed.
Daniel Ragland I was able to add 1 pro spot for a total of 45 players. The field is now 2/3 amateur and 1/3 pro. All first round cards will be 3 players. Oct 15, 2020

Played the course yesterday. What a treat! Colors were near peak. Course has seen a lot of recent work and is really coming along. Front nine and back nine have a Jekyll and Hyde thing going on. Front ... show more ›

Daniel Ragland Oct 11, 2020 I agree that it’s a shame for anyone to miss out. As you say, it’s a fun track with 2 very different nines. I’m glad you got in off the waitlist.
Frank Carbone Oct 12, 2020 Me too! Thanks for all you're doing to make this event happen.
Daniel Ragland Just a reminder that the event is on a winery. No outside alcohol. The low player cap is due to regulation from state liquor board. The restrictions placed on liquor establishments are applying here. State regulations, I have no discretion. Sep 28, 2020
Frank Carbone Hi Daniel, any developments regarding expanding the field? Hard to understand why we should be limited to 50 people over 30 acres of open land.

Ready and Wait(list)ing in Rochester Sep 23, 2020

What about having 2 groups of under 50 people each that receive announcements at different times? Or ... show more ›
[member not found] Sep 24, 2020 I agree Tim. We did great in physical distancing at RFDO 3 weeks ago. We'll just go to our respective holes. No gathering

Daniel Ragland Update 9/17 - 2 rounds of 18, so I’ve adjusted to an earlier start time. Check the schedule. Sep 17, 2020
Daniel Ragland
Urgent UPDATE: 9/16 - we were just denied a large gathering permit so this must stay below 50 including staff. I will limit registration to 44 for now and look at our options. I also learned that 13 ... show more ›

Rick Coates Sep 17, 2020 Appreciate the updates! Thank you!
Mike Herzog Sep 17, 2020 So being outside is considered unsafe to the "experts".... Sorry but this is getting ridiculous.... Cuomo is an assist.
Mike Herzog Sep 17, 2020 auto correct spelled ASS HAT wrong.... go figure
Dylan Rees Just a heads up, you need at least 13 holes for rounds to be rated. Sep 16, 2020
Daniel Ragland Sep 16, 2020 That rings a bell, now that you say it. Let me see what I can do.
Myke Corwin Sep 16, 2020 I assume the rounds will just be rated on one round of 27 holes instead of 18 and 9. There will be a separate 27 hole layout for the two divisions.
Daniel Ragland Sep 16, 2020 I need to look into it before making a decision. I want to know all options and implications.
Tim Bower Two full rounds would be great. Any way that can happen? Sep 15, 2020

Daniel Ragland Sep 15, 2020 Awesome, glad to have you join in the fun.
Daniel Ragland Sep 17, 2020 Tim, the circumstances are unfortunate but we’re going to get 2 full rounds of 18.
Tim Bower Sep 17, 2020 Sweet. 2 full rounds. Looking forward to playing this course.
