ABOUT
Remember birthday parties at the park or in the back yard? You couldn't wait for the cake and ice cream to be over so you could go play with friends. Well, it's Tex Farrell's birthday, so we're throwing a disc golf party at Delt Church Park and you're invited!

Join us for the first PDGA sanctioned disc golf tournament at Delt Church Park. The disc golf course has made major updates to the layout and added new baskets and tee pads in the past few years. Tex and I are teaming up to bring competitive disc golf to this underserved area.

TOURNAMENT
The Tex Flex is a true amateur event, consisting of one 18-hole round of disc golf singles play. This PDGA C-Tier event will use a flex start. All registered competitors will play one official round on the day of the event. Play may begin any time after 12:00 p.m. and must be completed by 7:45 p.m.

CONTESTS
We will have putting, accuracy and distance contests for you to try before or after your disc golf round. You do not need to play in the tournament to participate in the contests. Contest details and rules are available in the "comments" section of event page at disc golf scene or by following this link: https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Delt_Church_Challenge_2025/comments

FLY MART AND TRADING POST
Bring your discs and disc golf merchandise to sell or trade. You may set up before, during or after your round beginning at 11 a.m. Your space must be cleaned up no later than 7:30 p.m. Limited vendor spaces are available for $15 (plus two new premium discs) with pre-registration to the event.

CASUAL PLAY
The course will be open for casual (non-tournament rounds) play for those who choose not to enter the official event. Cards may not mix tournament and casual players during an official scoring round.

Any pros wishing to play for cash payouts must compete in the Gold division. Pros wanting to play as amateurs may do so in the appropriate division but will only receive merchandise (trophy) as a payout. They must also meet any and all PDGA eligibility rules for "pros playing amateur."

PRACTICE
The course will be open for practice rounds prior to and on the day of the event prior to the start time. It's feasible that you could practice a few holes after noon, but you will need to navigate tournament players.
