This is the 6th annual King of the Hill Tournament coming up and six years of me asking questions and listening to the disc golf players as to what they want out of a course and tournaments. Here are a few things that I have been asked:
1> You wanted a world class course here in Alaska.
1. We built it six years ago and continue to make it better and more challenging. It is rated #1 in Alaska and #46 in the nation by Discgolfscene.com.
2> You wanted higher sanction events in Alaska.
2. Hilltop provided the first B tier event and the first A tier event in Alaska and someday I will bring a national or world event here.
3> You wanted more money for pro pay outs.
3. Last year I guaranteed a minimum pro pay out of $5000 (the payout was higher than that) and this years event is a minimum of $10,000 I expect it to be even more.
4> You wanted better food available.
4. Hilltop has provided you some of the best food anywhere (seafood fettuccini primavera, Brisket and ribs second to none).
5> You wanted games and more prizes.
5. We provided them, including adding cash from my pocket. A CTP that nowhere else in the world provides; shooting atop a 60 meter ski jump to the bottom of the landing.
6> You wanted to be able to stay onsite during the event.
6. I let you setup tents in my backyard as my guest and even have a shower you can use.
7> You wanted better player packs.
7. You got them: pro (yes, I know pros don't expect a player's pack) and am both.
Whenever the disc golf players have asked, Hilltop has always tried to accommodate.
Now it is my turn to ask something of the disc golf players that I need:
RESPECT!!!
Respect, for the course. Respect, for the people that volunteer their time doing the hard work each year maintaining and improving the course so as to provide you a great course, year after year. Respect, for the volunteers that help run the King of the Hill tournament each year. Respect, for the Hilltop staff that helps give you great food every year. Respect, for the PDGA rules that govern these events. Respect, for the other players.
RESPECT FOR THE RULES I SET FORTH FOR THE COURSE AND THE KING OF THE HILL TOURAMENT.
