Scott Brukwinski Feb 12, 2022 Thank you Larry, I always look forward Playing Cracked Plastic every year. Very Smooth Tournament

Larry LaBond Feb 14, 2022 Thank you!!

Matthew Heminger Why isn't my second rounds card reported? Feb 7, 2022

Larry LaBond Feb 7, 2022 Not sure why it wasn't posted, but I got it cleaned up and it is there now.

Matthew Heminger Feb 7, 2022 Awesome, thank you again for all the hard work you and your team put in to make this happen!

Larry LaBond Feb 9, 2022 Thank you!!

William Weideman Besides the obvious, what are the conditions of the course like right now? Cart friendly? Feb 5, 2022

Larry LaBond Feb 6, 2022 Snowy

Christopher Jacobs Feb 6, 2022 Nice

John borden Kinda boots ma4 with 18 gets one another division with 22 gets 3 and a division with 9 gets 2.... how's that fair Feb 2, 2022

Matthew Heminger Feb 3, 2022 FA2 is the only women's division to get any berths all weekend and an extra incentive for women is the right call imo. But I do understand.

Jason Storm Feb 3, 2022 This discourages "sandbagging" and encourages people to play in higher divisions.

Larry LaBond Feb 3, 2022

MA4 is getting 1 berth exclusively. I'm not having the MA60 compete for it. MA4 is supposed to be ... show more ›

Josh Haigh Will ribbons be allowed if the snow accumulated is still pretty deep? Feb 2, 2022

Larry LaBond Feb 2, 2022 Yes, ribbons are allowed.

Josh Haigh Feb 3, 2022 Thank you sir!

Justin Draughn Maybe a silly question but if I sign up for waitlist and nobody drops, will I be refunded or will the money be applied to a future tournament? Feb 2, 2022

Larry LaBond Feb 2, 2022 You would be refunded, but we just had a few drops. So, there are a couple spots for each day available right now.

Justin Draughn Feb 2, 2022 I actually came back to check and saw the openings. Just signed up for my first tourney. Thank you very much!

Larry LaBond Feb 2, 2022 Sure thing. Good luck this weekend!

Larry LaBond Feb 1, 2022 If it was last year, then it probably still is. My mistake.

Matthew Heminger Feb 1, 2022

I got confirmation that the divisions will be the same as last year MA/FA1-4 and MA/FA 40,50,60. Doe ... show more ›

Larry LaBond Feb 2, 2022 Okay, I will have the MA60 only compete for a share of the MA40 berths.

The Battle Creek/ Kalamazoo disc golf community lost a great man to heaven after fighting a battle with COVID, at the young age of 46. His sister/ best friend Melissa introduced him to disc golf three and a half years ago playing a round at Begg Park and he immediately fell in love with the sport. Brad became so addicted that he made it to out to a disc golf course, notably Begg Park, TBC, and Cold Brook, almost every day when he wasn’t working or being a loving father to his two young daughters, Avianna (Avi) and Emma. Didn’t matter if there was a foot of snow, pouring rain, or super windy conditions (his least favorite), he’d be out there trying to be the best he could be. It also didn’t matter who was out at the course, he had no problem joining a group and immediately hitting it off with them. Most people knew Brad for his super witty personality, his silly wave he gave to welcome you, and more recently for his sidekick pit-wiener mix named Starsky. His signature disc golf move was to forehand putt with Sexton Firebirds, regardless of how far away he was from the basket…when his “Stonerama” Rhyno wasn’t working for him. He was really good at winning ‘waffles’ online, trading for more tie-dye Innova Pro plastic, and seeing how many discs he could possibly add to his signature blue Zuca cart, while still leaving room for his two Brisk Raspberry Iced Teas that he needed for every round. The K’Aces are graciously accepting donations to provide Avi and Emma with financial support during this horrible time. Please reach out to Larry LaBond or Jacob Miller directly if interested.
RIP Brad…you will be missed my many and forgotten by few. Hope you keep slingin’ those discs in heaven!

Erich Partee Just want to remind people with the new rules you are going to have to be a pdga memeber to play states this year. All B-Tiers and higher require a pdga membership and are states is a B-Tier Jan 18, 2022

Chris Rogers What divisions can recieve births Jan 17, 2022

Larry LaBond Feb 1, 2022 Berths aren't division specific. So, they can win a berth in MA4 and play states in MA1.

Larry LaBond Feb 1, 2022 I'm actually going to post an announcement about this.

Matthew Heminger Feb 2, 2022 MA4 is a division at states and was last year as well.
