    Check In & Coaching:
    When you arrive, visit a registration table and receive your free disc for the event. This is a great time to ask any questions and meet available coaches who can help you learn to disc golf! Areas will be set up for practice throws and coaches can demonstrate and guide players on throws and techniques. No need to learn the basics of disc golf? Just be sure to show up by 9:00am to give adequate time for check-in!

    9:30am

    Players Meeting:
    Before play begins, players will gather together for a Players Meeting to hear from organizers of the event and go over the rules of play.

    10:00am

    Course Play:
    It’s time to play! The course will consist of 12 holes with some fun, unique challenges thrown in that beginners and more experienced players alike will enjoy. Coaches will be present at each hole to further help guide players as needed. Course play will take roughly 90 minutes to 2 hours.

    12:00pm

    Goof Off:
    After course play ends and while organizers tally scores, players are free to participate in fun activities or just take a little break during this downtime. Feel free to chat with others, practice throws, participate in yard games, or enjoy time outside in the park. If there was a particular hole you were frustrated by this is a great time to go back and try it again!

    1:00pm

    Award Ceremony:
    After scores have been tallied, players will gather one last time for the award ceremony where winners will be announced and raffle prizes will be distributed. Organizers will give final words and send you off with resources and recommendations for how to continue your disc golfing journey!

About this tournament

Whether you're a complete beginner with no prior experience or a seasoned disc golf hobbyist, this fun charity event is open to you! All skill levels welcome. Ages 16+

At COPE Network's first ever Disc Golf Beginner Bash, participants will learn the fundamentals of disc golf, then practice and play a custom 12 hole round perfect for newbies (with some unique challenges thrown in!). No equipment of your own is required.

Already an experienced player but eager to assist newcomers to the sport? Feel free to join in on the fun and help others learn the game!

This event is welcoming and supportive of people who may be in recovery or seeking a sober activity. Identifying as sober, seeking recovery, or being a part of the recovery community is NOT required to attend this event. We simply ask that all attendees be compassionate and caring towards people in recovery or seeking recovery, just as you would any other attendee!

Each registered player will receive one free disc and one free ticket for entry into a raffle. Prizes generously donated by local businesses.

Proceeds from this event benefit COPE Network, a non-profit 501(c)(3) providing resources to individuals who use substances or who are in recovery in Southwest Michigan. COPE also provides overdose prevention trainings and distributes naloxone (the antidote to opioid overdoses) free of charge.
