Spectators bringing a canned good for the Worcester Food Bank will be entered into a raffle for Vibram discs. Come watch the world's best disc golfers, help out those less fortunate, and enjoy a beautiful day among great people.
While the goal of the players and spectators is to have fun, we must always be mindful of our impact on others. Here are a few simple rules for those watching the tournament.
1. Be considerate to the players.
* Know where you and the players are on the course
* Put cell phones on vibrate or turn them off
* Speak softly (or not all if they are throwing) when in close range of players
* Do not crowd tee areas, baskets, or pathways in between
* Never pick up a competitor’s disc, even if it is out of bounds
* Only ask for autographs after a player’s round is complete
2. Do your best to stay to the edges of the fairway or out of bounds. If a player asks you to move, please be polite and kindly move.
3. Take all the pictures you want. If you get some particulary good / poignant shots, feel free to share them with us. We love making slide shows. Commercial use of photographs is not permitted. Be aware of any noises that your camera may make that could cause a distraction.
4. Personal video cameras are allowed. Again, be sensitive to sound and proximity to competitors. Reproduction of video without authorization Maple Hill and the Vibram Open is not permitted.
5. Do not litter. Anyone caught littering will be thrown in the pond. Butts are litter.
6. Lunch is available from 10-4. Porta-potties are available at HQ and at the Cutler Place (hole 11 & 13 tee areas).
7. Use common sense. If you think something may be wrong or distracting, you are probably right. Winning the Vibram Open is a great honor. Just earning the right to play here is a great honor. Please give all competitors the space and respect they deserve.
8. Drink plenty of water.
9. Wear sunscreen.
10. Have fun.
(Special thanks to the USDGC for putting together a tournament that aspiring TDs can emulate and for putting together the basics of the above spectator list. You guys rock!) |
