– Welcome –

Welcome to the tournament registration page for Indy Disc Golf Club’s (IDGC) 32nd Annual Wild Turkey Shootout, to be held Saturday, December 6th at the ever-popular George Washington Park disc golf course. The Shootout is the first stop on IDGC’s annual charity event series. Last year, we raised $5,000 for the St. Vincent de Paul food bank, located just down the road from Hole #6’s tee pad. We strongly believe that disc golf is equal parts sport and community, and, with your help this year, we will continue the tradition of being a positive impact within the greater Indianapolis community – over $50K donated to fight food insecurity since 2003!

– Major Details –

A gobblin’ good time: the Wild Turkey Shootout is a charity-focused, non-sanctioned, non-rated, single-day, two-round, 48-hole, BYOP-best-shot-doubles format event with special rules and challenges in-play. Tee off for Round 1 will be 9:00 AM on Saturday, December 6th. Each round will consist of a 24-hole layout featuring 6 temporary holes. There will be a one-hour break between rounds, and the same layout will be played for both rounds. Some divisions may play from temporary tee areas on some holes. More layout details forthcoming.

– Fees and Payouts –

• AM: $40 per Team – $20 to payouts + $20 to SVdP food bank.

• PRO: $50 per Team – $30 to payouts + $20 to SVdP food bank.

When you register your team for the event, please use the email associated with each player’s PayPal address. If you qualify for a cash prize and do not provide the email associated with your PayPal account during registration, you must notify event staff prior to leaving the event to arrange for an alternative payment method. Please note that there will be no trophies or player-pack items for this event.

– Minor Details –

Tournament headquarters will be the shelter near Hole #1. Water and some snack items will be available for players all day at Tourney HQ. The IDGC soup kitchen will be back in action for this event and have food available at Tourney HQ between rounds. Please note that there will not be a portable restroom available at Tourney HQ for this event.

Parking is available at several locations around the park, including the disc golf parking lot next to Hole #1. You should expect this parking lot to fill. When this lot is filled, you may NOT park on the grass next to it. You must find an alternative parking area and expect to walk from there to Tourney HQ and/or your starting hole.

– Waitlist –

If all spots have filled, you may freely register your team for the waitlist. Teams will be promoted off the waitlist to fill openings at the discretion of the Tournament Director. Promotion from the waitlist may depend upon both order of waitlist registration and demand for each division.

Before you register, please note that the Wild Turkey Shootout is an all-day outdoor event during December. Less-than-stellar weather should be expected. If you register for the event and do not like playing disc golf in these conditions, please submit a refund request as soon as you know you will not be playing due to weather so that another team may be promoted in time. In other words, it is not very cool to submit a refund request less than 48 hours before or to no-notice no-show due to weather for an outdoor charity event in December.

– Refunds –

When a refund is requested, Indy Disc Golf Club general policy is to refund 100% of registration fees collected – no handling fees, no partial refunds, no deadline prior to the event to request a refund. However, since the Shootout is a charity fundraiser, Indy Disc Golf Club will refund all except for the $10/player food bank donation portion of the entry fee.

– Layouts –

All players will play a 24-hole layout featuring 6 temporary holes at the George Washington Park disc golf course. Some divisions may play from temporary tee areas on some holes. Each division will play the same layout for Round 1 and Round 2. Event layouts will be published in advance and available for selection on UDisc. More layout details forthcoming. All layout information subject to change.

– Special Rules & Challenges –

All special rules subject to change.

Shoot the Moon (Required Challenge)

Round 1 Only
One Attempt per Player

• Each player on a team must choose one hole for which the player will play alone without help from their partner. The team must announce their intention to “Shoot the Moon” on a hole prior to either member of the team attempting a throw on the hole.

• If the player attempting the challenge scores less than Par on the hole, two advantages are unlocked:

(1) The player who successfully completed the challenge receives one Mulligan that the player may use during the remainder of Round 1. This awarded Mulligan cannot be given to or used by the other player on the team. This awarded Mulligan cannot be used during Round 2.
(2) During the remainder of Round 1, the player’s team may count one shot (air or skip) that hits the basket (does not include the portion of pole that extends beneath the cage) as a completed hole. This advantage may be used for a throw made by either player on the team. The team must announce its intention to use this advantage and thereby complete the hole prior to that team attempting another throw on the hole. Scoring a hole-in-one with this advantage does not count for the Ace pool.

• If the player attempting the challenge scores equal to or greater than Par on the hole, then their partner must Wash the Dishes.

(1) The partner plays the next hole alone.
(2) If they score less than par, then you gain 1 Mulligan that can be used any time during the remainder of Round 1.
(3) Any "Wash the Dishes" attempt does not also count as a "Shoot the Moon" attempt.

Dinner Rolls (Required Challenge)

Round 1 Only - One Attempt per Team

• Both members of the team must throw a roller (backhand or forehand) for their tee shot for the same hole. The team must announce their intention to eat their “Dinner Rolls” on the hole prior to either member of the team attempting a throw on the hole.

• Both members of the team must attempt in good faith to throw a roller tee shot. For any team, if one player’s shot rolls and the other player’s shot does not roll, they must play from the resulting lie of the shot that did roll. If neither shot for a team rolls, the team must re-tee with a one stroke penalty added and again attempt to throw rollers, ad infinitum until one shot rolls.

Mashed Taters (Optional Ability)

Round 1 & Round 2 - One Available per Team per Round

• From any lie, if the shot attempts of both team members hit the basket (does not include the portion of pole that extends beneath the cage), the team may count the hole as complete using their helping of “Mashed Taters.” The team must announce its intention to use this ability and thereby complete the hole prior to that team attempting another throw on the hole. Limited to one use per team per round.

Turkey Leftovers (Optional Ability)

Round 2 Only - One Available per Team

• Did both you and your partner throw terrible tee shots? Take the other team’s leftover drive. During Round 2, after all players have thrown tee shots for a hole, your team may choose to abandon its throws and play from one of the other team’s resulting lies, whichever is unused by the other team. Your team must announce its intention to use this ability prior to any team attempting another throw on the hole.

Just Dessert (Optional Ability)

Round 1 & Round 2 - Unlimited Quantity

• Have a cherry on top: for any team, a shot attempt that comes to rest on top of the basket may be considered in the basket and used to complete the hole. The team must announce its intention to use this ability and thereby complete the hole prior to that team attempting another throw on the hole. Unlimited usage. May be used during required challenges.

Wild Turkey (Optional Ability)

Round 2 Only - One Available per Team

• After scoring less than par on any hole, go Turkey Hunting. If you score less than par on the next two holes, gain one extra tee shot on any remaining hole. Either team member may use the extra throw but not both.

Mulligans (Optional - Must Purchase)

Round 2 Only - 1 Available per Player for Purchase

• During event registration, each player has the option of purchasing one Mulligan for $5 that may be used during Round 2 only. All Mulligan proceeds go to the SVdP food bank. A player may use a Mulligan after any throw attempt to re-throw from that lie without incurring a penalty stroke. When a player elects to use a Mulligan, the previous throw is considered abandoned and replaced by the resulting lie of the re-throw.
