This is the 4th annual Epic Invitational. This year it is being held on the Sayles Family Farm Disc Golf Course. This event will be focused around a fun atmosphere for all Amateur players. Due to the nature of the event we ask that you fall into one of these buckets to register:
- A current employee of Epic (or family member of employee)
- An ex-Epic employee (or family member of ex-employee)

Please reach out to the TD if you have questions about this.

Adult divisions will play two rounds of singles with Costco Pizza in between rounds. MJ and FJ players will be playing only the first round, with pizza afterwards.

Players pack will consist of:

For the first 50 registrants (we have 25 of each)
- R2 Crave (2023 PDGA membership disc)
OR
- Eclipse R2 Insanity (2024 membership disc)

For registrants after 50
- A choice from a selection of F2 discs from Gateway

The entry fee is $25 (plus applicable Discgolfscene/PDGA fees). A $15 fee for non-current PDGA players will be collected for this tournament to ensure non-current members have insurance provided by PDGA. If you think you may try another sanctioned tournament or two this year (there are many in Madison) consider signing up for a PDGA number prior to registering. Your first year gets you a disc and it will allow you to start tracking your player rating. Details can be found here:

This event is a true amateur event with players pack only, with trophies for the top finisher in each division. We will also have an ace pool and multiple CTP prizes (Each CTP results in choice of custom Epic Open Disc (from last year) and a $20 MadMando gift card, 2 of which were donated by MadMando!).
As of now the plan is for 4 CTPs, which will be active across all rounds:
- 2 specific to the MA1/FA1 division
- 2 specific to the MA3/MJ18 division

A practice basket was also donated, and will go to the player with the lowest score, with the ability to pass it on to the next lowest-score player, if desired. In the event of a tie we will do a best of 3 disc CTP playoff on hole 16 (the elevated basket hole).

Proceeds from the event will go to the Epic Disc Golf Motley Crew to cover costs incurred by the putting league and raise funds for future endeavors.

The event will follow all PDGA refund policies that can be found on the Discgolfscene page for the tournament. Scorekeeping will be available via the PDGA Live app or paper scorecard.

General Registration Opens at 6am on 2/5/26 and it closes at 8pm on 5/6/26.

Note that this is a non-public course located just a couple minutes away from the Verona Costco, so this is a great opportunity to try it out, as playing at any other time can only be done with the permission of the family that owns the land. There will be a combo course prep/practice round as the event approaches. Those details, and the course address will be sent out over email prior to the event.

By course owner request, any caddies must be 14 years old or older.

Come join us for a fun day of disc golf competition.

Wise Acres Disc Golf LLC is responsible for all refunds and cancellations.
