When will tee times be posted?

Nathan Hooks    May 17, 2021 at 1:48pm

With the lift on social distancing requirements will spectators be allowed? My wife was hoping to come watch.

Abel Boyd    May 17, 2021 at 12:32pm

What layout will be played?

Bradley Reynolds    May 12, 2021 at 9:04pm

Do you know when tee times will be decided for Saturday? We are coming in from out of town and need to know if we need accommodations for Friday night or if we can drive in that morning.

Aaron M Bentley    May 8, 2021 at 1:40pm

Is everyone playing the long pads?

Jason Beasley    May 5, 2021 at 8:59am

Notice I am showing listed in intermediate on DG Scene, but not on PDGA (84941). I assume I am good to go?

Brandon Bass    April 30, 2021 at 11:13am

I am sorry, but I have to withdraw. Please approve my refund request. Something has come up and I can't come.

Matthew Halton Smith    April 27, 2021 at 5:40pm

ALL Ams: Make sure to EDIT your current registration, and not reregister for the event! If you want to purchase an additional shirt, use the general registration Polo option. Be aware that shirt sizes 2XL and above will require an additional fee (~$2, ~$5, etc as the shirt size increases)

Hello Everyone,

On behalf of Brixx Wood Fired Pizza, Kirsch Lending, the Carolina Disc Golf Club and CO-TD Adam Luthman, I want to congratulate and welcome all of you on your successful registration for the 20th Annual Tar Heel Open!

Hello Everyone,

On behalf of Brixx Wood Fired Pizza, Kirsch Lending, the Carolina Disc Golf Club and CO-TD Adam Luthman, I want to congratulate and welcome all of you on your successful registration for the 20th Annual Tar Heel Open! It took a lot of work and compromise to plan and execute the event this year in a manner that would abide by all of the University COVID requirements. We have had to make some concessions in order to hold the event, specifically the total number of people allowed on the course at any given time, no plastic payout (trophy only), social distancing and mask requirements while checking in for tee time and score reporting, and the limit of 4 players per group/ tee time (which does not allow for ANY SPECTATORS OR CADDIES). With this being said, we plan to provide the safest, most enjoyable event experience possible.

On a more positive note, this is our 20th annual event! As we did for our 10th anniversary, we will be providing personalized dry-fit polo shirts to ALL Amateur players as a part of the players packages. Professionals, volunteers and sponsors may also order a shirt on the registration page, and any amateur may also order an additional shirt in the same fashion. All amateurs must log back into disc golf scene and update their registration to provide: shirt type, shirt size, color and personalization characters (2 lines of ~15 characters recommended limit, no profanity or offensive material). https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/20th_Annual_Tar_Heel_Open_presented_by_Brixx_Pizza_and_Kirsch_Lending_2021/register


Any person may “register” to purchase an additional shirt, using the DGS link below and under the General registration tab, choose the Personalized POLO shirt option.
https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/20th_Annual_Tar_Heel_Open_presented_by_Brixx_Pizza_and_Kirsch_Lending_2021/register

For clarification, ALL amateurs get one “free" personalized dry-fit polo shirt with their registration as a part of the players pack (details in bold above). Anyone [AM, PRO, volunteer, or club member] may order a shirt (or multiples) using the General registration Personalized Polo shirt option, which will require additional payment. This option does not require you to fully register for the tournament. Unfortunately, there are no options for bulk or batch shirt purchases, as each shirt must be selected and personalized. Please contact me at [email redacted] or Adam Luthman at [email redacted] to inquire about purchasing 3 or more custom polo shirts.

ALL REGISTRATION EDITS, AMATEUR WITHDRAWALS FOR REFUND, AND SHIRT PURCHASES MUST BE COMPLETED BY MONDAY MAY 3RD!!!

After May 3rd, any amateur withdrawals will still receive their players pack with personalized polo shirt. We apologize for this limitation on full refund dates, but require this in order to provide the elite level custom players package for the event.


Thank you for your attention and stay tuned for more details and announcements!

Cheers,
TD's Matthew H. Smith and Adam Luthman

Will all divisions play the same layout? I’m specifically interested in new hole 3. Will the flagged long pad be played? Or just the shorter concrete pad?

Matthew Brune    April 25, 2021 at 3:52pm

Would it be possible to be switched from the waitlist of MA1 to MA2?

Collin Murphy    April 22, 2021 at 6:07pm

I sent a request for a refund. Just realized I have a prior arrangement that conflicts with the event

Matthew Halton Smith    April 13, 2021 at 6:19pm

Due to a previously overlooked schedule conflict, Registration will open tonight (Tues April 13) at 8:30pm, instead of the the previously scheduled 8pm. This is because of the Greater Raleigh Open DGS registration scheduled for 8pm. We apologize for the ongoing delays in registration, but want to allow players the opportunity to register for both events, and not have to decide which one to prioritize and risk (likely) missing out on the other event.

Naomi Downs    April 13, 2021 at 12:59am

With the speed to which tournaments fill within this area and the growth of women playing, it is discouraging to see only 16 out of 144 spots head for women.

Naomi Downs    April 12, 2021 at 12:41pm

With the pre-registration, I have seen that there appear to be caps for different divisions. What is the total number of players for the event? What is the cap number for FA1?

Adam Luthman    April 12, 2021 at 1:24am

Due to the overwhelming response and interest, we have decided to open this priority registration period to an additional 5 people with the stipulation that they also register as a hole sponsor for the tournament (each hole is $100 and we will be in touch about sponsorship sign details). If this option is something that interests you, please email me ([email redacted]) and Matt Smith ([email redacted]) and I will provide you with the access code. If you register using the code WITHOUT also contr ... more

Due to the overwhelming response and interest, we have decided to open this priority registration period to an additional 5 people with the stipulation that they also register as a hole sponsor for the tournament (each hole is $100 and we will be in touch about sponsorship sign details). If this option is something that interests you, please email me ([email redacted]) and Matt Smith ([email redacted]) and I will provide you with the access code. If you register using the code WITHOUT also contributing as a hole sponsor, we will remove you from the registration list and you will be free to register during the general registration period that opens on Tuesday evening.

I want to be clear that this will be a first come, first serve option for 5 initial hole sponsors (on top of early access for our title sponsors), which will keep us under the 10% cap of reserved registration designated by the PDGA. Hole sponsorships will still be available during general registration, but will no longer guarantee you a registration spot after this initial 48 hour window of priority registration.

If you have any questions or concerns about this please feel free to email me.

Kenny Lukasewicz    April 12, 2021 at 1:20am

No MA50 Division this year?

Matthew Halton Smith    April 12, 2021 at 12:48am

Thank you everyone for your tremendous interest in the 2021 Tar Heel! I want to apologize for any confusion and the changes in registration timeline. We just received event approval from University administration last week and Adam and I have been hustling to try to open the doors tonight.

Thank you everyone for your tremendous interest in the 2021 Tar Heel! I want to apologize for any confusion and the changes in registration timeline. We just received event approval from University administration last week and Adam and I have been hustling to try to open the doors tonight. Unfortunately, we still had several issues to solve which prevented the opening of registration tonight, and hence the confusion about registration codes, etc. Please stay calm and rest assured that there will be plenty of spots on Tuesday night. So far, only our dear friend and generous Title Sponsor Mike Kirsch (Kirsch Lending) has registered tonight. We look forward to providing you with the safest, highest quality tournament experience yet!

Adam Luthman    April 12, 2021 at 12:18am

Sorry for the confusion everyone. General registration will open this Tuesday at 8 PM.

Tonight's registration was reserved for our title sponsors, but don't worry! There will only be a few people in that category and plenty of spots will be available for general registration on Tuesday evening.
