We hope you enjoyed you first SVDGA Experience! Thanks for the help!

Huge thanks goes out to Christopher Noble, Andrew Burk, Chuck G Coristin and Trevor Murphy for clearing Tee Pads the day prior so they wouldn't be covered in Ice.

Thank you to all involved in making this happen, definitely worth the crazy drive home to Ohio on black ice roads! As always, great event and was glad to make it. The crew will definitely be there next year!

Les Rosenberry    February 11, 2018 at 1:22am

How much was the total raised for the food bank?

J. Gary Dropcho    February 10, 2018 at 1:47am

Are you not accepting donations of food?

William Turner    February 9, 2018 at 11:37pm

Looking for a partner. I know its last minute

Tee Pads are clear! We are getting a little more snow today. Total accumulation is around 4inches.

Weather report shows it to warm later today after the light dusting.. as the temps raise the snow melts.

The forecast for Hermitage shows a little rain in the morning which might just turn into a steady kinda rain in the day. Knowing our area.. plan for a mist. This might make the pads clearer but might make conditions a little icy. Please plan accordingly.

We have a huge Potluck for after the round as well as Mystery Box Raffles and some side games.

The Ballroom is a warm, dry, and welcoming location and we would like to thank Buhl Park and its employees for allowing us this opportunity to host our TD Central in the Ballroom.

There will be an ACE FUND at Check In of $2.
If no one hits it.. we will donate half and throw off for the other half.

We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow! Please let us know if you have any questions!!!

Les Rosenberry    February 6, 2018 at 9:32am

Looks like it might literally be a "snow down" event. Can't wait

WOW 78 Players!! Way to bring it on Disc Golf Community!!!

That's 39 Teams ready to do battle at Buhl Park Disc Golf Course!!!

Folks have been asking a few questions that I would like to handle at the moment.

1.) What Tee's are we Playing???

A.) Well... that's all dependent on the weather. As stated in previous AbominaBUHL's, we have played a shorter layout. Mainly due to Natural Tee's and the Area's being unsafe during muddy and or winter seasons. With ... more

WOW 78 Players!! Way to bring it on Disc Golf Community!!!

That's 39 Teams ready to do battle at Buhl Park Disc Golf Course!!!

Folks have been asking a few questions that I would like to handle at the moment.

1.) What Tee's are we Playing???

A.) Well... that's all dependent on the weather. As stated in previous AbominaBUHL's, we have played a shorter layout. Mainly due to Natural Tee's and the Area's being unsafe during muddy and or winter seasons. With the addition of this year's Tee Pads, I hope to extend the Tee Layout pending weather.

The weather is predicted to stay above freezing even with the wind chill.

With that.. we will be playing:
Open/Advanced - Blue Tees
Intermediate - White Tees
Recreational - Red Tees

In the event that the weather takes a turn and plummets or becomes unsafe for prolonged periods of being out doors:
ALL Play Red Tees.

2.) There are more than 72 Players, how are you going to adjust cards to not delay the round?

A.) EASY!!!! GHOST CARD!!!!! WOOT!
What I mean by this... 72 Players (2 Teams Per Tee) Will go out ready for the 2min Warning as well as the Tee Off Call. There will be one Card waiting to Tee Off on Hole #1 after the first card plays through. The card on #18, once finished has time to walk to #1 as the Ghost Card Tee's Off and Plays.

3.) But what if you don't have 2 Teams to make a Ghost Card?

A.) A 3rd Team might be added to a card of 2 Teams playing the same tee layout.

4.) What if you get more than enough for 1 Ghost Card?

A.) I will apply a second Ghost Card at Hole #10 or even allow a second Ghost Card at Hole #1 being this is only 1 round.

If this happens in excess and we get more than enough for 2 Ghost Cards. I will then add a smaller Hole #19 to be played in the Putting Grove. Small Par 3 that would be more than aceable ;)



I do hope this helps with some questions. I will be posting this to our Disc Golf Scene Page as well...

Registration is Still Open ONLINE as well as Day Of,

Remember we are having Check In on the Second Floor of the Buhl Park Casino Ballroom (Large White Building by the Park Entrance)


See yinz Saturday!!!
