Welcome to the 2026 Veterans Open presented by St. Charles County Disc Golf Club. We're very exited to continue the efforts to contribute to such a worthy fundraising cause. To date, the SCCDGC has been able to donate over $31,000 with the help and support of the community.

Entry fee is $20 for civilians and $10 for veterans. Sign-ups can be done through Disc Golf Scene, as well as day of, but we will be capping this tournament at 90 competitors. It's first come, first served, so we would advise signing up here on DGScene. Since this is a benefit tournament, there will be no payouts at the end. All proceeds will be donated to the non-profit organization Welcome Home based in Columbia, Missouri.

There will be a handful of CTPs (both civilian and veteran specific), along with every competitor receiving one free ticket towards the fundraiser raffle at the end of the tournament. We will be posting pictures of the donations leading up to the event, so keep an eye out for those and make sure to bring some extra cash, as this will hopefully be our largest portion of the contribution to be donated!

For those who are not familiar with the organization we're supporting with this tournament, here's a little background information about Welcome Home.

Welcome Home is dedicated to serving homeless and transitioning veterans and their families, as well those at risk of becoming homeless. They value veteran input and recognize the importance of veterans assisting veterans. Welcome Home is taking action to reduce veteran homelessness by being more than just a shelter. They provide supportive services, tools and resources to improve overall quality of life of those who served. Just as there’s a commitment to never leave the wounded on the battlefield, they commit to never leaving our veterans on the streets. The link to more information on Welcome Home, including a very inspiring and informational video, is: https://www.welcomeveterans.org.

We as a club feel very strongly about supporting this cause, and the veteran community. There is a need to support those who have supported us, knowingly or unknowingly. These courageous men and women gave years of service to this great country and do not deserve to be living alone on the streets. In 2024, the VA reported approximately 550 homeless veterans living in the state of Missouri.

Both rounds will be played from the red tee pads. As mentioned before, there will be quite a few CTPs throughout the course, mixed in both rounds. There will also be a 50/50 fundraiser CTP available for a buy-in of an additional $4. Half will go to the winner, while the other half will be added to the donation to Welcome Home. There will also be two separate ace pots available to buy into, as well as two other 50/50 CTPs that are club-specific.

This first ace pot will be $2 and is for SCCDGC members ONLY. This ace pot is cumulative and adds up over SCCDGC tournaments until one is hit. Club memberships are available for purchase in registration and the tag will be good until September of 2026. $25 gets you a membership with a numbered club tag. $30 gets you the numbered tag and a custom stamped club disc. If this ace pot isn't hit, the money will roll over into the next SCCDGC tournament ace pot.

The second ace pot will be the Veterans Open ace pot, which is available for all who choose to buy in. It will be $5 and listed as an option during registration. If no aces are hit, this money will be added to the donation to Welcome Home as well.

The other two available 50/50 CTPs will be to help raise funds for the upcoming St. Charles Open (SCO) & Midwest Showdown (MWS) tournaments. Both are available as optional add-ons during registration.

We have tee signs available for $25 per hole. One hole sponsorship purchase will have your business or personal logo on the selected hole for all competitors to see each round. You can select this option during registration, or contact us personally to reserve your tee sign. Obviously, hole sponsorships are first come, first served. All of the money raised will be added to the donation total.

All tee sign artwork must be submitted to us no later than 10/31/2026.

Lastly, mulligans will be available for $2 each during your rounds. There will be no limits on the amount of mulligans a player can purchase in their quest for greatness, with all funds being added to the overall contribution to Welcome Home.

If there are any further questions, please feel free to ask either in the comments or reach out to us via e-mail/Facebook.

We are very excited to host this benefit, and we hope to see all of your faces out there to support such a great cause. Bundle up, rock that red, white, and blue, and come join us for the SCCDGC 2026 Veterans Open!
