This would be a good choice for your first tournament. Acorn is my home course and I see this as a relaxing, low key season opener. It's probably going to be a small field and as long you know basic rules,(marking your lie, keeping accurate score, just basic stuff really..) you will be fine. As for the layout I can't say for sure but usually it is two rounds; both from the long tee's with a mix of baskets in long and short positions, which are swapped between rounds. Also there may be two temp holes playing into and back out of the baseball fields and back to the playground. Viper may vary the layout so don't take that as gospel. Viper runs a lot of smaller tournaments in the area; he typically charges an average entry fee, has a smaller players pack (a disc and/or a mini plus a chance for side prizes), and gives a good payout to the top 1/3 of the division. Anyone who shovels teepads in the winter is a minor saint in my book. I'm pretty sure I ran into you at Acorn this winter and you had a shovel and salt with you so I thought I'd give you some info.
