Introducing the 1st Annual Simon Kenton Classic: a two day, two round, two course B tier with daily tee times, $750 minimum added cash, and an absolutely killer player pack from our lovely disc sponsor Latitude 64 at Kenton County's two most impressive courses - the storied Lincoln Ridge Disc Golf Couse (forever in our hearts as Banklick Woods) in Independence, which will be partially or completely improved in time for this tournament; and the newer but already legendary Devou Park Disc Golf Course in Covington, which has already played host to some of Cincinnati's biggest tournaments in its brief two year existence.

On Saturday the 28th we will play a yet to be determined layout at Lincoln Ridge (Banklick) Disc Golf Course. The layout will be 19 holes, skipping 14-18. On Sunday the 29th we will play standard 18 hole track at Devou Park Disc Golf Course. This is all on tee times, one round per day.

You will receive your tee time no later than twelve hours before the start of the tournament (8 pm the night before each round). Tee time orders for each day are as follows: MPO > MP40 > MP50 > MP60 > MP65 > MP70 > FPO > FP40 > FP50 > FP60 > FP65 > FP70 > MA1/FA1 > MA40/FA40 > MA50/FA50 > MA60/FA60 > MA65/FA65 > MA70/FA70 > MA2/FA2 > MA3/FA3 > MA4/FA4 > Junior Divisions. Tee times for certain divisions may be moved around slightly in order to make for four to a card etc. at the discretion of the TD. Tee times begin at 8 am each day.

Players in the MJ/FJ12 and younger divisions will play an abbreviated layout of ~13 holes each day.

I will order extras based on registration numbers, but players who do not register before 2 June 2025 are NOT guaranteed a shirt.

-Aces will be paid at the end of the tournament. The pot will be split based on the ratio of aces hit, and will include any carryover from previous tournaments run by No Days Off Disc Golf. If no aces are hit, half the pot carries over to the next tournament and half the pot goes to the GCDGA as a donation (paid once the ace hits on behalf of the acing player(s)). The ace pot is COMBINED for pros and ams.
