Spring Fling time is just around the corner and man do we have a real treat for y'all this year.
Our beloved Spring Fling is turning 18 and to properly mark the occasion, we are setting up not one, but two courses at the Horse Farm for your golfing pleasure.
When the park is finally built, we may or may not get to install a permanent course and I flat out guarantee that the area given to Disc Golf will be nowhere near the amount of the land we are using for this tournament.
The result is that this may truly be your ONCE IN A LIFETIME chance to play golf on this property in this way.
With information & pictures of the courses coming later, let's talk about the tournament..
Schedule and Format
Saturday, April 30th 2016 at the HORSE FARM.
Walk up registration opens at 8:30 AM at tournament central.
An excruciatingly long, mandatory players meeting for all participants will be held following the conclusion of registration and the first round will tee off at approximately 10:00 AM.
All divisions will play the same tees. Novices and juniors may play shorter "blue" tees on certain holes.
The field will be divided into two pools based on attendance with Pool A typically consisting of Pro and Advanced players and Pool B consisting of Ams, Novices and Juniors.
Pool A will play one course the first round and the other course the second round.
Pool B will do the same, opposite of Pool A.
Tee time for the second round will be announced and posted at lunch along with the payout, once all of the first round score cards have been turned in.
An awards ceremony will be held at tournament central following the second round once the final scores have been tallied. All CTP prizes, awards, merchandise and cash won by players will be presented at the awards ceremony.
