Your wish has been granted sir Cameron.
Use your other two wishes more wisely. May I suggest getting your partner some game? Or perhaps to make him thinner so he won't be as much weight to cart around the course?

I may have to hand deliver that sponsor disc to Miss Angelina...wow Steve Oh I had no idea you had such charm with the ladies LOL
Peanut Butter, got your check from Mobile today, one more Master team is in. Two day delivery from Mobile for 44 cents. What a bargain. Spread the word over there would ya for the next tournament?
NO Team thanks our latest sponsors: Kevin Boudreaux, and Jennifer Dhir! We thank you for supporting disc golf in City Park. Without people like you there would be no pretty holes like Hole 15:

And now, a word from the Rules Oracle.
What is OB for this tournament? Well I'm glad you asked.
First, the easy kind of OB to explain: On or across all concrete sidewalks and roads is OB. There will be a couple of orange lines painted on Hole 1 and Hole 7 that also mark OB (basically filling in where the sidewalk is missing). If both players on a team happen to go OB on the same throw, you will play the next shot from wherever the best disc was last in-bounds. There is gravel on Hole 1 and 18, and 18 even has some asphalt across the fairway, but that will all be played as IN-BOUNDS (gravel good, concrete bad).
The 2-meter rule will not be in effect. That means if your disc is stuck in a tree over 2m high, you can play your next shot from directly below on the ground with no penalty stroke.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, for a "new" OB concept (new to some players that is), in regards to the lagoon on Hole 1,2,11,12,13,16,and 18:
Any disc that is partially submerged, but touching ANY vegetation at all, will be considered to be IN-BOUNDS. For example:
This disc is partially submerged. Although if you pushed down on the disc it would be completely wet, since it is only partially submerged but still touching the high grass on the shoreline, it will be ruled IN-BOUNDS on Saturday.
Play your next shot from one meter in from where the vegetation meets the water. If that lie is too wet to stand and play the next shot, the disc will be declared OB.
Just to refresh your memory, here is pDGA rule 803.09 in regards to OB---you will notice that the above definition of the Lagoon OB does indeed conform to the pDGA Rules of Play:
803.09 Out-of-Bounds
A. A disc shall be considered out-of-bounds only when it comes to rest and it is clearly and
completely surrounded by the out-of-bounds area. A disc thrown in water shall be deemed to be
at rest once it is floating or is moving only by the action of the water or the wind on the
water. See section 803.03 F. The out-of-bounds line itself is considered out-of --bounds. In order to
consider the disc as out-of bounds, there must be reasonable evidence that the disc came to rest within the out-of-bounds area. In the absence of such evidence, the disc will be considered lost and the player will proceed according to rule 803.11B.
B. A player whose disc is considered out-of-bounds shall receive one penalty throw. The player may elect to play the next shot from:
(1) The previous lie as evidenced by the marker disc or, if the marker disc has been moved from an approximate lie, as agreed to by the majority of the group or an official; or (2) A lie that is up to one meter away from and perpendicular to the point where the disc last crossed into out-of-bounds, as determined by a majority of the group or an official. This holds true even if the direction takes the
lie closer to the hole; or (3) Within the designated Drop Zone, if provided. These options may be limited by the tournament director as a special condition (see 804.01).
C. The Rule of Verticality. The out-of-bounds line represents a vertical plane. Where a player's
lie is marked from a particular point within one meter of the out-of-bounds line pursuant to
the rules, the one-meter relief may be taken from the particular point upward or downward along
the vertical plane.
D. If the in-bounds status of a disc is uncertain, either a majority of the group or an
official shall make the determination. If the thrower moves the disc before a determination has
been made, the disc shall be considered out-of-bounds, and he or she shall proceed in
accordance with 803.09 B counting all throws made prior to the determination of the in-bounds status of the original lie. If a player other than the thrower moves the disc before a
determination has been made, the disc shall be considered in-bounds, and play for the thrower
and the mover of the disc shall proceed under the rules of interference, 803.07 B and C.
--------------------------------------------------------
Other course rules:
The water in the ditch to the right of Hole 6's basket will be played as Casual Water. If you land in that water and want to play from that lie, you simply play from behind your wet disc on the line of play, up to 5 meters behind (no closer to the hole) where your disc is in the water.
The running track on Hole 15 is OB---not the wooden poles 5 feet from the track, but the actual asphalt red track itself.
The fence on Hole 14 and 13 is OB.
There is only one Mando on the course and that is on Hole 18. If your disc passes to the right of the Mando, you would play your next shot from the drop zone (marked with red flags to the left of the Mando tree) with a one-stroke penalty.
On Pro Tee 11: This tee box has a special rule---for any shot that lands OB, no matter if it went out behind the basket or in front of the basket, you will play your next shot from the regular tee, with a one-stroke penalty. Regular OB rules apply from that throw onward, so if you go OB from the regular tee you would play your next shot from where your disc was last in-bounds.
Ok, that might be a lot to digest for some of you, but since this is a doubles tournament, it will be rare that both players end up OB on the same hole. But now if they do, you know how to handle that situation on every hole.
THE RULES ORACLE HAS SPOKEN
(feel free to ask questions for clarification---the more questions I answer in the next couple of days the less I must explain at the Players Meeting)
Thanks and good luck!
