Yesterday afternoon I received notification from the City of St. Petersburg that due to the recent increase in COVID 19 cases in the Tampa area, that they were continuing the suspension of organized athletic activities within parks in St. Petersburg. Unfortunately, this means that this event scheduled for July 26th at Maximo Park cannot proceed as planned.

To attempt to remedy this, our staff immediately got in contact with both the City of Clearwater and the City of Tampa to try and host events at Cliff Stephens and Picnic Island Parks respectively. Both of those departments informed us that they also have suspensions on organized athletic activities. As a last resort we reached out to the Pinellas County Parks and Rec department and asked them if they would permit an event at Taylor Park again and they confirmed they could so long as we run it in the same fashion as our event last month.

This leaves us with 2 options:

1. ) Cancel this leg of the Tour Challenge, refund everyone and only play 3 legs of the Gulf Coast Tour Challenge.
2. ) Play this leg of the Tour Challenge at Taylor Park, reschedule the event for July 25th, and keep the course assignments for the final 2 legs of the challenge fluid as the pandemic situation evolves.

After discussing this extensively with our staff, we have decided that disc golf is better than no disc golf and we will be hosting the 2nd leg of The Gulf Coast Tour Challenge at Taylor Park on July 25th instead of at Maximo Park on July 26th.

If you are unhappy with this decision, or cannot attend the new date and would like to be withdrawn from the event with a full refund, please let us know ASAP so we can get that processed. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, but these are the tough choices we have to make.


Please let me know if anyone has any questions or needs any additional information.

Good Morning Everyone,

As some of you are now aware, the PDGA has taken unprecedented action to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus that is spreading throughout the country and have removed sanctioning from all events until March 31st. 

This action of course includes the first stop of the Gulf Coast Tour Challenge at Maximo Park On March 28th. Following the PDGA guidelines, this event is now POSTPONED until further notice. As soon as we can reschedule the event we will. For now, everyone stay safe. 

You have two options at this time regarding your registration. 

1.) Remain in the event and play when it is rescheduled later this year.
2.) Receive a full refund and be withdrawn from the event. 

If anyone would like a refund, please let me know and i will process it as soon as possible. 

If anyone has any questions or needs any additional information please let me know.
Thank you!

Good Afternoon Everyone,

The city of Tampa contacted me today to inform me that they are rescinding our permit request for March 28th due to the Air Fest @ McDill Air Force Base. Apparently, Picnic Island Park becomes a spectator area with potentially thousands of people making the course unplayable.

Because of this, we will be flip flopping the courses played for the first 2 stops of the Gulf Coast Tour Challenge. As of today, the March 28th tour stop will now be played at Maximo Park in St. Petersburg and the tour stop on April 26th will now be played at Picnic Island Park in Tampa.

I apologize for this inconvenience but this is the best solution i can provide. I will NOT be transferring the players from one event to the other, rather i will be simply updating the registration pages to reflect the new, updated course locations.

If anyone would like to withdrawal from either events due to this change please contact me as soon as possible.

We will be updating all the event graphics and information next week so please be patient with us as we work through this.

If anyone has any questions or needs any additional information please let me know.

Thank you!!
