In light of all the events scheduled for the June 7th/8th weekend and at the request of one J. Ted Zadareky III, we’ve decided to move our fundraiser event to Friday, June 6th. We’ve also decided to do something a little bit different this year. Essentially, we are going to be having two somewhat separate events on June 6th. Also, this year is going to be a fundraiser for the Buckeye Classic which should be taking place at Alum Creek this September. To be clear, this year we are not raising funds for the BHMO; just for the Buckeye Classic.

FIRST EVENT

The first event is going to be a singles event, playing by PDGA rules, on a difficult course layout. This event will be in the afternoon and will be limited to 10 participants as we will only be able to get two cards on the course at the same time. Given the limited field size, there will only be one division for the first event. The entry fee is $50. Out of each $50 entry fee, $20 will go towards the fundraiser and $30 towards the payout. We will payout at least 33% of the field.

This year, we have a challenging 9-hole layout for the first event that everyone will play twice for a total of 18 holes. The 18-holes will play as a par 64 and come in at about 7,000ft. Even though it will be a relatively short par 64 layout, competitors will be awarded a disc for every eagle they card during the round. Cards will be reset after the first 9-hole round. After playing the 9-hole layout twice, there will be a small awards ceremony for the payout and any other prizes from the first event.

SECOND EVENT

After completing the first event, we will start the second event. The second event will be more of a causal hangout with plenty of food for dinner, yard games, and tiki golf (and possibly our 100ft slip n slide down the hill). There will be several CTP and ring of fire contests for prizes throughout the evening as well. We are asking anyone attending the second event, including anyone that played in the first event and plans on staying for the second event, to pay $20. This can be paid through Disc Golf Scene or at the event. 100% of every entry fee paid for the second event will go towards the Buckeye Classic fundraiser.

We will also re-configure the course into an 18-hole tiki layout. For those of you who have not had the privilege of visiting the Grange/Blockhouse in Virginia and meeting Mike Trapasso, tiki golf is often described as disc golf putt-putt. The holes are generally between 50 ft and 150 ft and often have tricky greens or obstacles. The tiki course will be set up all evening for free casual play.

Additionally, for anyone interested, there will be a $10 singles tiki round teeing off at 6:15pm as well as a $10 glow tiki round teeing off around 9:00pm or as soon as it is dark enough. 100% of the entry fees for each of these optional tiki rounds will be paid back out to at least 33% of the field. Because there will likely be many people with the same score, all ties will be decided by a sudden death playoff. Payment for these optional $10 tiki rounds can be made in advance on Disc Golf Scene or at the time of the rounds.

To be clear, someone looking to (1) play in the first event, (2) attend the second event, (3) play in the 6:15pm tiki round, and (4) play in the 9:00pm glow tiki round will have a total cost of $90.
