What tees will pros be playing?

Thanks

[Fox Metro Discer]

I am planning on both PRO and ADV playing both rounds from the longs. There will, however, be a few holes played from the shorts due to the new layout of the longs and some fairways still need to be cleard properly for them to be playable. Most notably #8 which will be played from the original long and hole #14 where it will be played from the short tee.

I would volunteer to run the bag tags for the 1st round if nobody else was doing it??

Doug,

That would be great if you would like to volunteer.

[pdga#7648]

Tom, is it okay to just do it 1 round? Or do you guys do both rounds?

[CEValkyrie]

Here is the issue i've seen from running events and many volunteers running DISContinuum tags.  When running both rounds it takes some patience to get to the leader board. By the time you are finished half the people have bolted and don't have their tag. When there were 5 to 10 people there wasn't much of an issue. Over the past few years there have been 20 to 40 tags in the box which make it very difficult to do. I would have no problem with 1st round tags then let people on each card play for tags.

[Fox Metro Discer]

When i was up in Wisconsin playing tourneys, all they ever did was that you had the challenge against those on your card with a bag tag. It was simple, and there was no wait after any rounds to get all of the scores in. At the most all you ever had were 4 people to switch tags with. Especially at an event with 30-40 people with tags.

Just added Starbucks Coffee as a sponsor for the event!

Bring your coffee mug as Starbucks will be providing free coffee to everybody all day long at this event to help with those cold spring mornings!

[pdga#7648]

I will volunteer to do the 1st round then. All tags go in though, not just on your card. This way by the start of the 2nd round everyone will have new tags, then if they want to do a 2nd round on their own, they can.

time to bring some of the jtown  game to oswego looking forward to winning this event   cant wait till sat.   are all the long tees marked out at the course so i can get some practice in?

[pickax]

All the longs have crushed stone on them, except for hole 8 where I believe Aaron is planning on using the old long tee location (about 40 ft east of the stone long tee). Hole 12 will also be using a different long tee location as the required brush clearing for long 12 has not yet been done by the park district.
