About this tournament

3 rounds of play
Rusty Ratings is back!!
A prospector roams the land after a harsh winter, but the creeks and rivers are frozen no more, and they may once again pan for gold, or at the very least, throw discs into the golden bands of the disc golf course… The sounds of chains will once again ring Up the Creek and throughout Golden!
Shake off that rust and strike gold at the Rusty Nugget in Golden and Up The Creek!
