About this tournament

Join us for the first-ever PDGA Sanctioned Event within the city limits of New York City! This event will be free to play, and will not have any ratings issued.

We will play all 10 holes at the newly established Highland Park Disc Golf Course by the Paul McBeth Foundation in association with the NYC DGA, Discraft, PDGA, UDisc, and Power DGA.

Players will begin to tee off after 1:30pm when they have a group of at least 3, but no more than 5 players and will play one round. The final tee time will be at 5pm.

OB Rules:
Any path and beyond is out of bounds.

All holes will have CTPs with prizes for individuals to win.
Holes 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 are for everyone
Hole 2 is for women only
Hole 5 is for Kids only (18U)
Hole 8 is longest made putt/throw for everyone

>>> Ace Race Challenge:
The event aims to capture the first-ever ace in New York City on camera, featuring Paul McBeth and Missy Gannon. Players and spectators will gather at hole 9 for the Ace Race challenge, with Paul McBeth and Missy Gannon each throwing two consecutive shots to start. Community members will then take turns, each throwing two consecutive shots, with Paul and Missy repeating their throws after every five participants. The challenge will continue until all community members have had their chance to throw. If multiple aces are achieved, a sudden death Closest to the Pin (CTP) competition will determine the grand prize winner. Prizes include the PMF Grand Prize Pack (a 2023 Ledgestone GRIP bag with signed discs and a $50 gift card) and additional PMF Prize Packs (signed disc and $25 gift card) for each ace. This event will be filmed and published on the Paul McBeth Foundation YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUc4Y6zL8asOu4jYjJbcTGA)

>>> Play With The Champs:
Paul McBeth and Missy Gannon will team up as doubles partners, playing in a "worst shot" format against three randomly selected community members playing "best shot" on each hole. Each community member in attendance will receive one raffle ticket to write their name on to enter into the draw. For each hole, three community members will be randomly selected from the raffle tickets to play against Paul and Missy. The team with the lowest total score over 10 holes will win. The entire round will be filmed, produced, and published on the PMF YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUc4Y6zL8asOu4jYjJbcTGA)
