Hello,
Welcome to the Winter Ridge Runner. The weather has posed a few challenges for us but appears good to go at this point. The courses are going to be snowy/icy and it is going to be very cold. Be prepared. Please exercise good sense regarding COVID as well.

Parking at Rochelle will be immediately to the left as you enter driveway. There will be people to greet you and navigate parking. If you can carpool please do so. Parking at Hoover Ridge will be along the side of plowed road and if you have a vehicle that can traverse weather conditions park left of hole one perpendicular to hole.

A pool (Pros, MA1, MA40, MA60) check in will run from730 to 845 at Rochelle Ridge tee time 9:15. B pool players check in at the shelter at Hoover Ridge from 8 to 8:45, tee time 9:00 am. Hole assignments will be up on the PDGA event page Friday evening- please re-confirm your hole Saturday morning in case there are changes (which there inevitably will be).

Scoring will be through the PDGA Live Scoring system. Log in through pdga.com/scores with the code “winter.” Backup paper scorecards will be available at registration. PDGA Live can now be accessed by more than one player in a group at a time so is preferred for backup as well. The system is seamless and easy. Round 2 hole assignments and tee time will be on the PDGA site as soon as practicable following round 1.

Amateurs will each get a players pack disc at check in and top 40% in each division will get a voucher redeemable at Raptors Roost Pro Shop. If you place in the top 40% of your division please pick up your voucher from your course TD prior to leaving. Failure to do so will result in having it sent through the mail. If you live out of the area and cannot see yourself ever making it to Raptor’s Roost (your loss) contact John at [email redacted] and he will work something out. Ace pot will be donated to Hoover Ridge basket fund if no one hits it.

OB are all marked with flags or posts marked with orange. All fences are OB. Minimum of one meter relief is required from all barbed wire- you may take up to 2 meters. There will be several fires at Rochelle Ridge. These are also ob. Mando's at Rochelle Ridge are marked in red with arrow. Drop zones are marked with white flags that say dz except for 15. 15 you will tee from 6 tee pad. Pond is ob. There are no Mando's at Hoover Ridge. Unlimited casual relief allowed from icy slopes which do not allow you to stand. Casual relief must be taken straight back along the line of play.

A Pool plays Rochelle/Hoover. B Pool plays Hoover/Rochelle. B Pool plays short pads on 15 and 17 at Hoover. Juniors play the second round at Rochelle only.
