" All of the really great putters in disc golf have one thing in common........ None of them have a real job" Scott Stokely circa late 1990's

Brent: Cory W. was a large part of the design on that extra 9, and Christian had some input as well. If you guys do need/want help on any design re-work there, I would suggest that you ask Christian - sure he could probably help out (he has the most knowledge and experience on that course...

That is a bummer. Probably the most unique course in the country and something I really enjoyed playing and played a ton back in the 2002-2006 time frame, and still in my top 5 of over 200 courses played. Not that it helps, but there is a lot of room up top on the blue side for more...

Just an FYI on course conditions - July 2016: New concrete walking path that winds through much of course is now complete. It ct negatively impacts a couple of holes, and positively impacts several by better defining OB. (For those who have played tourney layout(s), will not see nearly as much...

Likely one or the other (Fargo or GF) if Travis or Joey have enough help and time to put it on. We will be getting together later this fall and hopefully will have a decision prior to Thanksgiving.

I didn't say it say that states wouldn't be here again. I said it wouldn't be here again next year. Historically we have rotated the state championships around the state of ND. It is somewhat of an aberration that it has been in Dickinson 3 out of the last 4 years. It was in Dickinson 3...

i assign pro par for my courses based on what I know the average pro (1000 rated golfer) is going to shoot on average per hole. The course pars assigned are almost spot on. Again the wind was the big factor in pushing the ssa so high in round 3 - that and the mentally draining aspect of the ob...

Unlikely that the Reservoir course at Jamestown will ever hold a state championship event again. The area saw multiple years of flooding and at least 6 baskets are completely rusted due to sitting in the water for months at a time, they've also lost numerous trees and have had a couple of...

Round 1 - Par = 67 - 9119' Roudn 2 - Par = 69 - 9538' Round 3 - Par = 72 - 10927' From preliminary ratings - the course SSA closely matched the assigned par for the 1st two rounds. The last day (round 3) looks like the assigned course par was low. As looks like SSA was around 78. However...

Final scores are up at pdga.com. 3 players under par. Going to have to toughen up the course. Thank you to everyone who came out to play the tournament – I hope all of you had a good time on a very tough challenge. Also want to say thanks again to all the sponsors and all of you that...

Course is being flown again tomorrow night by Joey with Flight Pros - should have some good video again showing close to this years state's layout.

Update with travel / visitor information: Link to city of Dickinson information: http://www.visitdickinson.com/visitors/ City Map and hotel locations attached: With energy industry slowdown, much more hotel availability than the past few years. Easiest way to get to the course is take the...

Update and Schedule: Course is in great shape - prelude to state championship layouts during Badlands Open on July 11-12th. A couple of new tees going in for states (on #4 and #15) - yes - because I know everyone thought those two holes were too easy :). And at least 2 or 3 new pin positions...

Thought I would post a little bit of info on North Dakota's 1st ever A-Tier Event. 16th Annual ND State Disc Golf Championships at Patterson Lake DGC, Dickinson ND. Labor Day Weekend September 4th-6th Minimum 5K in added Pro cash 10K added in other goodies - players packs, food, other...

I should have said - nothing unethical about TD playing an event, as long as they are upfront with everything concerning the points raised here and some others that haven't been brought up. I guess it is just my mindset that would never consider running an event to make money. Under our...
