Upcoming Tournaments

Saturday, Dec 3, 2011 - WDGC President's Cup (Everett Kaser).  And a map of the course layout, a safari-style temp layout at Adair Park.  For club members only, so non-club members must purchase a 2012 club membership for $10 (per family).

Actual TOURNAMENT HOLE/BASKET references below are capitalized. "Normal" Adair course layout hole/basket references are lowercase.

On the map, TEES are black squares with white numbers, basket positions are white circles.  The Officers Club (where the bathrooms are) is marked with a red 'X', and the location of Tournament Central is beside the #1 parking lot, marked with a red 'TC.'  We'll play in groups of 3 unless there are more than 51 players.

Players on HOLES 2 and 6 MUST stay aware of each other and use reasonable etiquette to avoid getting in each others' way.  If you're on HOLE #2, stand on the tennis court side of your basket
unless you're putting.  If you're driving on HOLE #6, don't throw when someone is putting from between the road and BASKET #2.

MULLIGAN cards will be given to those purchasing them (maximum of TWO total) before the morning round, and may be used on any DRIVE, morning or afternoon. When used, the card is surrendered to the score keeper, marked USED and the HOLE #, and must be turned in with the scorecard.  Mulligans cost $1 each, and buying into the Ace Pot costs $1.  All Mulligan money is added to the Ace Pot.  If there are no Aces during the either round of the Tournament, a Sudden-Death Putt-Off will be held for everyone who bought into the Ace Pot (if you buy Mulligans but don't buy into the Ace Pot, then you don't qualify for this possible Putt-Off).  There will
be NO refund for unused Mulligan cards.

Any throw that strikes a car, parked or moving, adds TWO penalty strokes to the thrower's score in addition to the throw stroke (ie, throwing and hitting a car is THREE strokes rather than ONE).

HOLE 1: Throw from tee #1 to basket #13-middle.  ALL concrete and black-top is OB.
HOLE 2: TEE is in the middle of the old exercise area about 30 feet or so back from the tennis court fence, to basket #1.  ALL concrete and black-top is OB EXCEPT the pavement BEYOND the far fence (between the far fence and basket #1).  The road AND beyond are OB.
HOLE 3: The TEE is under the big fir tree, just to the right of the trunk, to basket #14-middle.
HOLE 4: Throw from tee #15 to basket #16-middle (the new position).
HOLE 5: TEE is in a location giving a fairly clear, straight shot at basket #17-short.  Sorry, that's about the best I can describe it here (if I remember right, it's a little bit towards basket #15 and a little bit towards the tennis courts).  The black-top walking path AND BEYOND is OB.
HOLE 6: TEE is at top of hill past basket 17-long, SLIGHTLY to the left, on the right-side of a tree trunk, so that you're looking pretty much straight down the road between the two massive gate posts, and you'll probaby be throwing over the right-hand (far side of road) gate.  All grass between the tee and the entry road is in-bounds, but once you pass the left-hand gate post, the road (black-top) AND left of the road are OB.  The gravel on the right shoulder of the road is IN bounds.  You're throwing to basket #2 long (in the trees).
HOLE 7: tee #3 to "Mt Everett" (at the top of the left-hand hill).
HOLE 8: tee #4 to old LONG-LONG basket #4 position, just past the "beware of flying crap" sign at the edge of the woods.
HOLE 9: tee #5 to basket #19 (practice basket).  The road is OB, but both the near and far sides of the road are in bounds.
HOLE 10: is just up from the corner of the parking lot, throwing to basket #12-long-right.
HOLE 11: the TEE will be down from the furthest big fir tree, giving a fairly clear, open route to basket #18-long.  Road is OB.
HOLE 12: the TEE about as far around the 'bend' as you can get and still see the BASKET which will be a temp basket on tee #11. ALL roads (main road AND the road into the sewage plant) AND beyond are OB.
HOLE 13: TEE on the high rise closest to the parking lot road, left of the small tree, to basket #10-berm (the new position).  There is JUST room for a high-right route to the basket (up, over and around the trees), as well as a LOW flat route in to the base of the berm. The black-top road is OB. SPOTTER REQUIRED for players throwing high over the trees!
HOLE 14: walk along the berm (towards tee #10) until JUST before the stairs.  You'll have a fairly clear sight down to the left of the berm to tee #10, which is where BASKET #14 will be.
HOLE 15: cross over the berm, walk to basket #9-left, turn left and walk up-hill about 30-40 feet (veering SLIGHTLY to the left).  There's a spot where there's a narrow but fairly clear route up fairway #9, over the bench and to basket #7-right.  SPOTTER REQUIRED!!!
HOLE 16: TEE is just on the path-side of the basket #6-long-right (the position everyone hates and we haven't used for a long time because the anchor needs repair work).  Standing JUST to the left of the anchor, throw to basket #6-short.  This is a VERY short hole, but requires an accurate throw.
HOLE 17: TEE is tee #6, over the berm to basket #5-long.  The road and beyond are OB.
