It can be done!
All 27 prior years of the event, most participants have completed all 8 courses.
You play as a team and encourage each other to finish. You play fast, you play smart, and you don’t stop. You eat in the car as you travel between courses.
It’s the most challenging disc golf tournament in North Carolina and beyond!
Please note: Divisions without any registrants after one week of open registration will be removed. Players who make it into the event after May 20th cannot be guaranteed a specific shirt size.
