Daniel Ragland Sticky Final OB sheet put up as picture. It's amost time! May 13, 2021

Mike Culliton Why are there 72 players allowed on day 2 but not day 1? May 11, 2021

Daniel Ragland May 11, 2021

Total winery capacity. Sunday is slower and there are no other events happening that day. The winery ... show more ›

Daniel Ragland Caddy exemptions on Saturday are allowed by prior approval ONLY and for very limited reasons. If you need a caddy, reach out to me for approval prior to Saturday. Thanks. May 11, 2021

Daniel Ragland Important!!!! New casual relief rule. Brush/trees have been cleared on holes 2, 4, 7 and 8. If you are in a man made brush pile, casual relief is allowed. Dinosaurs are now in play on hole 2, optional relief available. May 8, 2021

Daniel Ragland Day 2 (Sunday) just opened to 72. If you know someone who wants in, get them to sign up ASAP. Sunday ONLY. Saturday is still capped at 48. I’ll explain later. May 4, 2021

Daniel Ragland Virtual player meeting posted in the about section. May 3, 2021

Daniel Ragland I added pictures to show the course map and some images of the word doc that lists general rules/OBs and specific OBs. Apr 13, 2021

Daniel Ragland May 8, 2021 Waived

Mark Humphrey Apr 12, 2021 please send via email.

Daniel Ragland Apr 12, 2021 Sent. Let me know if you don’t get it

Daniel Ragland Apr 13, 2021 I posted some pictures with this information also. There is very little OB, so I don't add an OB map but just list the area by hole. FYI.. You get optional relief from the dinosaurs

Jay Thornton Is there a course map out anywhere? Apr 11, 2021

Daniel Ragland Apr 11, 2021 Yes. The map in UDisc is accurate

Daniel Ragland Apr 13, 2021 I added a picture in the tournament page

Daniel Ragland

I have updated the "about" section with the latest details and emailed everyone a word doc of OBs and course rules. I'm sorry to say that we are not able to expand to 72 players. It's such a good co ... show more ›

Daniel Ragland I’m finalizing the details with the winery later this week. Stay tuned for a detailed post so you know what to expect as we approach the event. Thanks for your interest in playing! Apr 4, 2021

mark humphrey Is the tournament open to more players now? Apr 2, 2021

Daniel Ragland Apr 2, 2021 Yes, I have been able to open registration to 48 players

Thank you for your patience, it has been difficult to turn this 1 day event into 2 days via the PDGA and then here on discgolfscene. If you have questions, please contact me. With this event being ... show more ›

Susan Gallagher I am not familiar with this course. Will all players be playing from the same tee or is there a shorter course for some divisions? FA2, FA3, FA4 etc. Feb 7, 2021

Daniel Ragland Feb 8, 2021 There is only 1 layout at this course, all divisions will play the same tees and baskets.

Susan Gallagher Feb 8, 2021 OK, Thank You

Daniel Ragland Major Update: tournament has been expanded to 2 days. Please check your division pool to see which day you play. Pools were placed to maximize the number of players each day. Feb 6, 2021

Daniel Ragland Feb 6, 2021 Disc golf is awesome and these Covid times are strange....you have to adjust when necessary. Thanks for the support!

Mark Hay Feb 19, 2021 I signed up and on the waitlist. I signed up for MA40 but can also play INT depending on how things open up.

Daniel Ragland Feb 20, 2021 Thanks for letting me know

Jerry Menzie If the limit gets pushed up to 72 players, how many MPO spots will be designated? Feb 4, 2021

Daniel Ragland Feb 4, 2021

1/3 of all spots will be for the pro field, so that would expand the pro side to 24 total players. T ... show more ›

We are still working on getting to 72 players. It looks highly likely, but again this is a private ... show more ›

Daniel Ragland Feb 6, 2021 Just an FYI for you Gerald, with the field at 90 there are 30 pro spots.

Mark Humphrey Is there anyway you can have a tournament on the previous Saturday?. Even if you open this one to 72 players your going to have 40 more on the waitlist. Such an amazing amount to people want to play at Castle Grish. I is a gem of a course! Feb 3, 2021

Paul Greiten was checking the hole distance. not too long. never played there before. how tight are the wooded holes Jan 30, 2021

Daniel Ragland Feb 1, 2021 Tight, but fair. I’d rank it as challenging but not lucky.

Daniel Ragland Feb 8, 2021

by the way, the front nine is where you can rack up birdies. The back nine is where you can rack up ... show more ›

mark humphrey Like the new logo for the wild vines tournament Jan 30, 2021

Daniel Ragland Jan 31, 2021 Cool. You can thank John Baumgartner for that.

Tim Bower Hey Daniel, which guidances (aka. restrictions) are the ones impacting the number of players in the tournament? I am in the alcohol manufacturing industry and have to deal with them too but I tend to get information about and clarification of such restrictions (thanks for lobiest). Jan 30, 2021

Daniel Ragland Jan 31, 2021

I am going by what the winery management team tells me. The 50 person limit for gatherings was enfor ... show more ›

Daniel Ragland Feb 1, 2021 Interesting ideas.

Daniel Ragland I am blown away by this registration. You guys are amazing and I’m so glad all of you want to play this tournament. Keep hope alive for a full field of 72 as COVID restrictions start to ease Jan 29, 2021

Tim Bower Feb 2, 2021 I have come across some tournaments, TDs, allowing people to register "early" if they become a hole sponsor...no hole sponsorship, no early registration.

There are some allowances for early registration for club members, sponsors, volunteers and certain ... show more ›

Daniel Ragland Sorry everyone for the waitlist mix-up. I will get all the ams into the proper fields and the waitlist sorted out. Jan 29, 2021

Daniel Ragland Jan 29, 2021 As you will see, there a few people at waitlist #1 and #2. The duplicates are there due to the registration issues for the waitlist. Thanks for your patience.

Nichole Tomasello - Keil A couple of us are trying to get on waitlist even but it won't lrt us get through! Jan 29, 2021

Daniel Ragland Jan 29, 2021 Fixed

Bryan Elsworth Made it in for the original 45 but couldn't register as an MA4. Can you switch me to that division? Jan 29, 2021

Daniel Ragland Jan 29, 2021 Yes, got you 2nd on waitlist.

Bryan Elsworth Jan 29, 2021 I definitely shouldn't be in the MPO!!!

Bryan Elsworth Jan 29, 2021 Thanks!

Kenny Godwin It says MA1 is full with only 3 players in it when trying to register. Jan 29, 2021

Lenny Kerznowski Jan 29, 2021 Am filled under 2 minutes; what I get for trying to register my group of buddies. Going to be a fun year for tournaments I can tell.

Kenny Godwin Jan 29, 2021 thanks! hoping the field expands to 72 so I can get in!

Daniel Ragland Jan 29, 2021 Agreed, I’d love to see everyone get in!

Daniel Ragland UPDATE: With Cuomo lifting all orange and yellow zones, our prospect for a full field of 72 is looking better. Please get on the waitlist if you don't make the original 45 person limit. You will get a full refund if you do not get in (minus PayPal processing fees). Jan 28, 2021

Mike Slaunwhite Jan 29, 2021 I had 2/1 at 8PM down for registration opening. Did that change, or am I maybe confusing it with somehting else.

Daniel Ragland Jan 31, 2021 It changed about a month ago. There are several other tournaments opening registration on 2/1 so I moved it to avoid that conflict.

Daniel Ragland Feb 6, 2021 Okay...2 day tournament is on!!!!! Check your registration for which day your pool will play.

Mark Humphrey Glad 11 and 12 are par 4's now. It's a bear getting into #11 and getting out of #12. Thank you! Jan 27, 2021

Craig Gelder Jan 28, 2021 I think you're confusing 11 and 12 with 12 and 13. 11 is the long hole across the field. But I get your meaning.

Mark Humphrey Jan 28, 2021 Yep. Memory lapse. #11 is the bomber hole and #12 goes into the woods. I forgot #10 was the over the pond.
