● Event Overview

Due to low registration and multiple withdrawals, this event has been restructured into a one-day, two-course championship to make it as fun, competitive, and accessible as possible.

Players will start the morning at Willow Valley DGC and then travel (approx. 25 min) to Dragonfly DGC for the afternoon round. Both rounds will use shotgun starts, and lunch will be served at Dragonfly upon arrival before Round 2.

Note: Due to low registration, the MPO and MP40 divisions have been merged, and if fewer than four players remain in MPO by Friday, 10/17 at 10:00 PM, the division will be vacated and the event reclassified as Amateur Only (per PDGA 1.03.B).
