Scores for the tournament should be kept on the PDGA website. Player course and hole assignments will be posted Friday night at https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/78346 The link to online scoring is https://pdga.com/score/. The access code is PC18. DGM staff will receive them at tournament central. When round one is finished, lunch will be provided in the church. 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.

Please keep in mind that all players must keep score. This system is excellent allowing immediate correction for any different score.

Rules for the courses are listed below. MVP/Axiom CTP is hole 2. Full Turn CTP is hole 7. Prodigy-only CTP is hole 9. Unbranded CTP is hole 16.

**Even if not specified, tall grass and beyond on all fairways is hazard. Play from where it lies with one stroke penalty. There is no relief from this, except to rethrow from the previous lie with a stroke penalty. In general, the forested area is NOT hazard or OB, unless specified. If there is any question about any throws or lies, try to make a group decision. Remember that the benefit should go to the player. If no decision can be made, play a provisional. When possible, consult with the course TD to determine the correct answer.
