Winners of trophies for 2021 Pine Cone and 2021 Ahoskie:

First - Apologies this took so long.. I got the trophies back in early November, and took them to a pair of events to pass out what I could to folks i saw there , intending to mail the rest, but then in a whirlwind have dealt with a job transition, a family death, a sudden home project and life - and simply forgot to set down and box them up. I posted to the Facebook page I needed addresses and I guess it didn't get much notice; The few addresses i did have I cannot locate in messages because i forgot who sent hem ( it was only a few ).

If you are owed a trophy for the event and have not received it yet -Three options:
1) please EMAIL me your mailing address at [email redacted] with "Trophy" in the subject line.
2) I will have them at the Raleigh Winter Jam, The Buckhorn Am Weekend, and the Pinehurst tournaments if you want to just pick up in person.
3) If your local~ish to me and want to drop by and look at discs and pick it up, get up with me to arrange a time to make sure I am available.

Quick question… are you going to mail the trophies to each of the winners once they are done getting engraved? Thank you to all the TDS and staff for a very well run tournament. It is very much ... show more ›

THANK YOU for signing up for the 5th PAnnual Pine Cone Open! If you were not aware, the Pine Cone was the first event I ever ran, and did so on the anniversary of my picking up the game of disc golf. This event is special to me, and I am excited to once again see it have a full field.

Gates will open at 7:00. PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE EARLY AND BLOCK THE GATE. PLEASE.

ALso - do not park along the road way if there is space in the overflow lot.
