USSLDC PLAYER TOURNAMENT INFORMATION

1. For directions to the Missouri Bluffs Golf Course from Lambert International Airport or if you are driving to the venue please use an online source such as Mapquest. The golf course and hotel (Wingate 32 Research Park Circle, St. Charles, MO 63304) are adjacent to each other and are approximately 30 minutes from the airport.

2. Missouri Bluffs is a spikeless facility. However, metal spikes are allowed in the practice and competition areas only. The facility does have a dress code and we will of course honor it. No denim or cutoffs are allowed. Shirts with collars along with appropriate golf shorts or trousers are fine. For the Saturday night dinner jeans are OK. The golf course will be open for member and guest play throughout the time we are having the competition, please keep this mind. Any actions or use of language unbecoming of a professional may result in disqualification from the competition.

3. There are some space limitations with the practice/warm-up areas and those areas will be limited to the division currently competing. Bring an iron or two to help you with your warm-up. As soon as possible, the next division will get access. Your cooperation will be helpful to allow each player sufficient time and space to get ready to compete.

4. The competition grid has some slope and is generally uphill in the landing areas (the last 100 yards of the grid). There are no objections to walking the grid prior to the competition. We plan on a 50-55 yard width for the grid and the target area will be well framed. From the competition tee the golf club tells us the wind is generally right to left (equally with or against the player) or into the player. Wind speeds are generally modest; of course there are no guarantees here.

5. Practice balls are sold in the golf shop (No metal spikes). The prices are $5 for 30 balls and $10 for 75 balls. The practice balls are of good quality. Restroom facilities are nearby the practice and competition areas.

6. We have bottles of water in coolers and fresh fruit/produce available for Saturday and Sunday. There will be a cash bar for the dinner on Saturday night. The dinner will be held under the pavilion from 5:30 – 6:30 pm and is being provided by Shamrock’s Bar and Grill.
