how do you do payouts for the shootout on Friday a friend and I are thinking about coming down just for that. will we have to hang around or do they get mailed?

 

[MeyattP]

Payouts for the Shootout are available that Friday evening after the final card is turned in. That is most likely around 7 or so, as the last card goes out at 5:30. But if there is no one from that division on the course at that time the payout can be done at 5:30. Generally, some stay around for payout, others (who are also playing the LO) wait until Sunday awards where the remainders are handed out. We can also send payouts with a trusted friend playing the LO that might know you or sending in the mail is also an option, although for simplicity the earlier options are preferred. But I will be happy to work with what works best for you!

We also will have a $5 random draw doubles at Veterans Park at 6pm on Friday. 100% of that goes towards immediate cash payout.

 

[brutalbrutus]

thanks

 

[brutalbrutus]

also im guessing that you will have presorted discs for the am payouts?

 

[MeyattP]

Yes. Am payout for the Shillito Shootout is discs, etc. We are offering for the first time pro divisions of the Shootout for cash payout, but no added cash for this as all of our added cash is going towards the pros in the Lexington Open.

 

[goosefraba1]

2 weeks until the LO... woop woop!

 

[Bobs DG 12]

Does anyone know if we will be playing one of the rounds at Jacobson Park? I wasn't sure whether it would be tournament ready in time or not. It's a fun course though!

 

[goosefraba1]

Yes.... one round will be at Jacobson Park. We are working on getting it ready now. As a new course, it will not have all of the amenities as more well-established courses... but it already plays like one of the best courses in the state.

also im guessing that you will have presorted discs for the am payouts?

I have dyed all of the discs for the players packs... check them out in my link :hfive:

 

[Bobs DG 12]

Yes.... one round will be at Jacobson Park. We are working on getting it ready now. As a new course, it will not have all of the amenities as more well-established courses... but it already plays like one of the best courses in the state.

Awesome! It definitely does play like one of the best courses in the state, looking forward to it then! :hfive:

 

[goosefraba1]

Don't forget that the players party is going to be at Country Boy Brewing this year... with a putting contest and flymart held by Bang-a-Chain. We will have some food provided that night. Looking forward to seeing everybody.

[DSmith]

Goose!
I'll be in town Thursday around 3pm and planning on checking out my baby (the new one ) I plan on throwing some, of course. Will there be league that night and if so where?
Friday I'll probably walk Riney and Vets to see how the new pins play out then play the Shoot Out then Dubs at Jacobson later that afternoon.

 

[goosefraba1]

I am pretty sure that Dubs will be at Shillito as always on Thursday... I have school crap until about 4 I believe. Should be free after that to get a round in somewhere... or just putting and field practice. Get at me.

Can't wait to watch them pros duke it out on Sunday! Brad Schick is returning this year. Would love to see some other great pros come out.
