RECAP of: The 7th Annual DGM Encore - Featuring Elephant & Castle’s 16th Annual Lucky 13

I want to start by thanking several people for helping give the Lucky 13 course a much needed upgrade.

You guys are Rock Stars. We appreciate you very much! The team effort was made just in time to have an awesome tour Reflection Tour Encore.

I want to give a huge shout out to Doug Bowen (who was probably up in a tree stand during the event) for being our title sponsor. We appreciate you and Elephant & Castle’s commitment to the tour.

Patriot’s Gold & Silver and Liberty Utilities present: The 5th Annual Ozarks Dam Open Players’ Meeting

You may still register here: https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournament/Patriot_s_Gold_and_Silver_presents_The_5th_Annual_Ozarks_Dam_Open_2024

Doubles is from 2:00- 5:00 Friday on the Temp Course. Cannonball James Roberts will be running it.

Welcome to the Ozarks Dam Open! As always, we’d like to start off by thanking our title sponsors: Liberty Utilities for the financial support, the bonus course and always keeping their course well manicured (Hats off to Randy Richardson the Plant Manager). We also appreciate the continued support from Patriot's Gold & Silver. Jeff Ford and his family continue to help make the tours a success!

There is currently $515 in the current Reflection Tour roll over Ace Pot. It is worth mentioning that there are at least 9 legit Ace opportunities on the Ozark Dam course alone.

This may cause this pool to start the 2nd round before the pool playing the temp course. Please watch for the start times for your pool on the pdga tournament website.

On hole 17 please be careful walking along the road as there is often traffic on this road. Remember there is a 3 minute rule when looking for a disc once the entire group is looking for it. Note that there is a drop zone for a lost disc on the long hole 23.

The staff will automatically receive the scores at tournament central. Please remember that all players must keep score. After the first round, we will break for lunch. Round 2 SHOULD start around 1:00, but may change based on last card. There will be an announcement by DGM staff, and round 2 assignments will be posted on the PDGA page.

Rules for the courses are listed below. All CTP’s will be on the Dam course: Unbranded CTP is hole 9, Full Turn-only CTP is hole 10, Prodigy-only CTP is hole 13.

This year’s Mother Road Open will again have money added to both Ams and Pros. With the help of sponsors we are sitting at $1000 for Pros ($250 more than the $750 needed for a B Tier) and $500 for Ams! I want to mention that this was only made possible by the Marshfield Parks & Rec, SoundEnvision, and the incredible efforts of Patrick Porter who is still rounding up sponsorships.

Another great partnership for this event is our team up with Slim Chickens who has agreed to provide lunch for all players. I met Amanda Barnett (the GM of the Lebanon location) at the Route 66 Festival in Lebanon during our putting tournament. We discussed catering for the Jared Hilton Memorial. She was able to make it happen for both the JHM and The Mother Road! If you are close by the Lebanon location and want some good food, please support Slim Chickens in Lebanon and give a “thank you” to Amanda.

We look forward to seeing all of you in Marshfield this coming Saturday at the Mother Road Disc Golf Course. There will be a raffle with a lot of items up for grabs, and of course there will be a basket given away as the big ticket item. Come prepared for a lot of fun, and we hope to SEE YOU SOON!

Patriot's Gold & Silver Presents: The 15th Annual Monkey Trap Open
Players’ Meeting

Welcome to the 15th Monkey Trap Open! As always, we’d like to start off by thanking our title sponsor: Patriot's Gold & Silver. And a big thank you to Kick'N Sound DJs for being our tournament sponsors.

We’d also like to thank all of our tour sponsors this year: Patriots Gold & Silver, Elephant & Castle Fine Arms, Kinney Amusement, Dynamic Discs, Innova Champion Discs, Fossa Disc Golf, Prodigy Discs, Creator Designs, MVP/Axiom Discs, Millennium Golf Discs, Discmania, 8Up, Greazy Dyes, Discs Unlimited, Swing Right Golf, Intuitive Body Works & Massage and Sticky Dyes.

Everyone needs to check in near hole one by the trailer. There will be a $5 cash Ace Pot available on the check in table. If no Ace is hit, the pot will roll over to the next DGM event.

Scores for the tournament should be kept on the PDGA website. Player course and hole assignments will be posted at https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/78343. Round 1 starts at 9. The link to online scoring is https://pdga.com/score/. The access code is MTO. Everyone is required to keep score. DGM staff will receive them at tournament central. When round one is finished, everyone is on their own for lunch.

Round 2 should start at 1, but will be determined by the last card in. Player course and round assignments will once again be posted to the PDGA event page, and scores should be kept on pdga.com. Per PDGA rule, if anyone should require a paper scorecard, they can be made available by DGM staff.

Rules for the courses are listed below. Unbranded CTP is hole 2. Full Turn-only CTP is hole 18. MVP-only CTP is hole 7, Prodigy-only CTP is hole 13. If there is any question about any throws or lies, try to make a group decision. If no decision can be made, play a provisional. When possible, consult with the course TD to determine the correct answer.
