About this tournament
2 rounds of play
47th SHERANDO OPEN
(Previously the SPARTAN)
Come play the FIRST EVER PDGA event at the newly tweaked' design of SHERANDO DGC. It is a new layout with 18 holes - 2 Tees and Pins on each hole (#15 only has 1 Tee).
The course does not have signage yet, so COURSE MAPS will be provided to all players.
Distances are posted in the PICS section here on DGScene and course information can be found at https://udisc.com/courses/sherando-park-rFu3
THANK YOU to all of the local disc golfers who put in so much time and effort to assist the Park Director Cory Smith with the new design tweaks' and upgrades to the course. As I have always said, it is the VOLUNTEERS who are unsung heroes and worth their weight in gold.
The recent name change is to return to the roots of the event - honor and show the well deserved respect of all of those that began the tradition when disc golf historically first started.
PDGA —- PRO C-TIER —- AM B-TIER
In 1979 the first event at Sherando was held at the old course across the street. Rusty Creasy and Jeff Kraemer were involved since day one and up until they passed the torch to me to carry on the annual tradition many years ago.
There are numerous famous disc golfers that have passed through Stephens City over the years. Beyond Rusty and Jeffs fame - you can see Big Daddy, Carlton Howard, Joe Mela, Craig Gangloff, Mike Moser and more - Local legends like Clark "Claw" Putman, Billy Hughes. If you recognize anyone in the pics, let me know.
Since I took over the original Sherando event 20+ years ago, there have been many big time players as well. Ricky Wysoki, Raven Newsom, James Conrad, Jay(Yeti) + Des Reading and Ted Williams to name a few. Of course, so many more local celebs like Andrew Fish, Cody Bradshaw and the Shileys' come out to tear the place up currently.
I am forgetting many, so shout them out in the comments if you like...
Sherando will be ready for all of you and if you are nice, maybe the 40mph winds and snow may spare you. Yet, would that really be any fun?
Wind - Snow - Cold - Warm - Tornado? Maybe....
FUN - COMPETITION - TRADITION? YES
AM PLAYERS PACK = 2 PREMIUM DISCS + other SWAG'
HOODIES will be offered at the GHO in MAY.
REFUNDS will be optional after TBA - Hoodies will have been ordered and paid for at this time. I appreciate everyone’s understanding over the past few years - Thank You!
