Welcome to a Woman's Team challenge at Oak Grove! This is the 2nd event in the Birds in Paradise Series. This event is a one day (non-rated) women's only team event. The formats are "Silver Medal" & Alternate Doubles.

FORMING A TEAM:
The team's total rating points may not exceed 3,000. Ratings will be based off of Jan 2026 results. If a player does not have an active PDGA membership for a rating the TD's will assign a rating. Each team member will be given a letter of A, B, C, or D according to their rating on the team. The highest rated player is the A player and the lowest rated player is the D player.
- What if you have a fully formed team? Great! You will need a team name and each team member registers separately. Make sure you spell the team names the same (case sensitive)
- Don't have a team? If you open to meeting other women and would like us to form a team for you: Perfect! Sign up as team "TBD" and a team will be created for you :-)

SILVER MEDAL FORMAT (10 holes):
2 teams per hole
Driving & Approaching:
- Each member of the first Team drives. Each member of the second Team drives.
- Each team takes the disc that is 2nd best (closest) to the basket.
- If there are 2 discs of exact same distance, choose the one in a better position and confirm with the other team. Other team must confirm if there is uncertainty.
Putting:
- Once the 2nd best disc lands within the C1 (10m/33ft) from the basket, 2 putts must be made by the team in 1 turn to complete the hole. If a putt is made from outside of C1, the team will complete the hole.
- C1 will be marked for easy identification. Each team scores the hole as one score.

ALT DOUBLES FORMAT (18 holes):
A/C and B/D will be partnered together in separate divisions
Alternate drives (one player to drive odd holes, the other one to drive even)
Best shot after the drive

PRIZES:
There will be player give-aways at checkin.
Prizes will be awarded to first, second and third place teams with total best scores for both rounds. Ties require a head - head sudden death playoff. (There will be no cash prizes.)

OAK GROVE PARK RULES:
No drugs or alcohol. Be respectful to the park, each other and park visitors.

ABOUT BIRDS IN PARADISE SERIES:

A BIT OF HISTORY:
This year the team challenge has been renamed the Jo Cahow Team Challenge after World Disc Golf Hall of Famer and Frisbee Queen and Ambassador extraordinaire, Jo Cahow, PDGA #004. Jo was an amazing disc golfer and female pioneer that held numerous disc golf titles before the PDGA was an organization. We honor Jo by naming this event after her.
