Welcome to the 2026 Cowtown Throwdown supported by Innova Disc Golf. Nate and I are looking forward to starting off our season of sanctioned events with a fun day at Prado Regional Park on Saturday, March 7, 2026.
Gates to the park open at 7:30 am. We are planning to tee off for round 1 at 9:00 am. Every player needs to come check in with us at tournament central (no, you cannot check your buddy in if he is close or if he is out practicing). Amateur players will pick up their tournament disc at check in. If any pro players want a tournament disc, we can talk after all ams have checked in. Once round 1 is complete and all scores are submitted, we will break for lunch, then look to start round 2 around 1 pm. Round 1 cards will be determined at random and we be keeping cards together within their divisions to the best of our ability. Round 2 cards will be determined by scores.
Lunch is included for all players! I will be picking up food based on your selection at registration. If you have food concerns, please let me or Nate know asap so we know what to look for. If you want to do something else for lunch, there is a farmer boys a couple miles up on Euclid and the stater bros shopping center about 2.5 miles down Pine ave. Just be aware of timing as we do need to keep to the schedule.
The new gate will not be open yet and the original parking lot is still under repair, so we will be setting up the same way we have at previous events. There is parking in the lot between tournament holes 1 and 2 and parking in the vacant area along tournament hole 16 fairway. There are pictures on the discgolfscene event page showing the map with parking areas. Please only park in these areas. Park staff will have you move your car if it is not parked in a proper spot and the tournament will not wait for you. Park staff is planning to have the second gate open just for us to enter as well (we have done this in past events. Nate can share the details). If you are not a SB county Regional Park pass holder, it does cost $15 per car (not person) to drive in a park in the park. The main gate accepts card and cash. The second gate is cash only. Both accept passes.
Nate and I do have the permit for the disc golf course aea to close the course to the public, which means there will not be any fishing, picnicking, etc on the course. Tournament staff and park staff have done a great job over the past few years of working together to inform everyone entering about the closure and building a positive relationship. However, sometimes that is missed and we end up with a couple stragglers looking to fish or do other activities while we have the course permitted. With that, if you should encounter someone on the course who should not be there, I ask that you be respectful and politely inform them about the course being closed to all other activities besides the tournament. In my experience most people understand and willingly move to another area. If there is someone who is being difficult or refusing to move, please get myself or Nate to handle it. We will talk to them with the park rangers and have them move. Not only is it hard for us to create a fair playing field when there are non-event users on the course, it is also a safety issue since there are flying discs all around and people may or may not be paying attention. Safety is the top priority for everyone visiting the park and we can all do our part to create that atmosphere.
I have attached the caddy book for you to review. Pictures of the individual holes are on the discgolfscene event page. I know we have some newer players joining us (YAY!), so be sure to take the time to review the book and notes and send me any questions you have. I will be holding a virtual players meeting on Wednesday, March 4, at 6:30 pm and will post the video to the disc golf scene event page. I will be going over some more things in detail, reviewing the caddy book, and answering any questions that are brought to my attention.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in a week for a fun day of disc golf! Let me know if there is anything I need to address. Until then, have fun, throw well, and we will see you shortly.
