Thank you for signing up for the GDGC Junior Gauntlet Powered By Prodigy taking place Saturday August 10 at Eastview DGC in Guelph! This event has been designed to be a bit more challenging then our Nikko’s Drive Guelph event at Riverside park and hope you have a good time at another one of Guelph’s beautiful disc golf courses. Here a few details we wanted to note prior to the event.

For those of you unfamiliar with Eastview Park there are change rooms/washrooms onsite and even a brand new splash pad (perhaps pack a bathing suit) if you need to cool down. We will also have a few water stations setup so please bring your own water bottle(s). Please arrive and check in before the 8:45am players meeting, we tee off at 9am. Here is the address and look for us setup by the practice basket in the main parking lot.
