Andrew Prack Just noticed the free beer coupons say they expired last year, will they still take them? May 23

Joel Chirhart May 23 Yes, they've told us they printed them incorrectly. They will honor all of the cards, technically with no expiration.

Andrew Prack May 24 Thanks!

Robert Silva Have whole assignments and cards been posted yet? May 22

Jason Haas May 23 yes

Mark Nagao Is Nest 13 from the turf or the spray paint? The map says 299, but the spray paint is 350 May 21

Joel Chirhart May 21 It's from the spray paint, but I can guarantee that's not 350. UDisc is marked in the wrong spot, so it says 354 there, but it's definitely closer.

Joel Chirhart May 21 Might be about 310-315.

Mark Nagao May 21 Ok thanks!

Joel Chirhart

Tonight I marked the temp tees and basket locations. The double island has also been flagged. Due to the rain the last couple days, normal super long 12 has been flooded. It appears to be drainin ... show more ›

Zack Mills Hey Joel! I goofed up and registered for the wrong division. Is there any way I can get switched to MA2? I have a friend flying in from out of town - we planned to play MA2 together, but I registered for the wrong division. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. May 20

Micah Ottens May 20 And if so, can you throw us on a card together? Please and thank you! I gotta put the smackdown on him

Joel Chirhart May 21 Zack, I've moved you over.

Matthew Dansky May 21 Can I card with these crushers?? Hi Zack!!

Emails with the maps and course notes were sent last night. Layouts are available on UDisc as well. Ams are playing Perch. Perch Map: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16Z7y6mCBkrbEMAdjrEMrEhe2oU1aFK ... show more ›

matt nipper Hey Joel if you need some pallets to get across any newly developed swampy areas, I've got some at work. we're just a couple miles away in the Coorstek development at the base of north table mtn. looking forward to the Fling! May 20

Jason Skjaret It would be great if you could get me and Crews jr on the same card. He convinced me to sign up. Thanks for the event and can’t wait to play. May 19

Robert Silva May 19 Are there any maps available? Will the course be set up before Saturday for play?

Joel Chirhart May 20 I sent out maps last night in email. Layouts are also fully available in UDisc (Ams play Nest and Perch). I'll post them on here soon.

Joel Chirhart May 20 All of the holes except the four temp holes are set up to play. The temps will not be set up until Saturday.

Kyle Williams Hey Joel! I want to confirm if I’m understanding the rules for hole 11 on the Perch layout correctly: Are only drives off the tee pad penalized as a hazard for missing the islands or any throw that misses the islands? May 18

Joel Chirhart May 18

Any throw outside the islands are penalized as hazards. For example, you play safe to the first isla ... show more ›

Kyle Williams May 18 Sweet! Thank you!

Joel Chirhart I've just adjusted the pools so that those that are currently on the waitlist for MA1 and MA2 have been promoted. Any final adjustments to the pools will likely occur by Wednesday. Please note what pool your division is playing. May 17

Kyle Williams Hey Joel! If our disc lands on a cactus is there relief? (I know it’s unlikely but there’s a lotta cacti out there lol) May 17

Joel Chirhart May 17 Yes, in my next email or course notes, I will give relief in line of play from cactus. I know there are plenty in the upper area.

Hey Everybody!

Welcome to the 2026 Spring Fling Am Day sponsored by Dynamic Discs! This year's theme is about skeletons and other spooky things. However, the pirate flag will be flying on the portal, you'll probably see some pinwheels, the flamingos may have a new twist, and hopefully, we can get the giant dragon inflated in the pond (pray for relatively calm conditions).

I will be finalizing the layout for the Perch and Nest at Birds Nest early this week, but here is the preliminary (and possibly final) layout notes for you to practice. The layouts have been activated on UDisc as well. All Am divisions will be playing the Perch and Nest layouts. (Condor layout is for Pro Day).

I will be at Birds Nest over the next week to flag the temp hole tee box and pin locations. Currently, some pin positions are not set in the expected location due to the Brood Reduction tournament this weekend. They will get moved within a day of the tournament's conclusion. Temp hole baskets will not be in place until the day of the tournament.

I haven't been to the course recently (I'll be there later this week and playing Brood Reduction), and despite the lack of moisture this year, we will likely still need some help during the week of the tourney weed whacking some of the temp hole tee boxes and pin locations (especially near the silo hole, and a temp tee pad for pro day in the same location). If you can help, please let me know, and I'll give specific locations and give you something for your help. I will be at the course during the day on Friday the 22nd laying out the OB lines, and making final modifications, which could include putting bags on the unused baskets.

Check-in on the 23rd will run from 7 to 8:15 am. I believe we have an awesome player pack lined up for you, and you'll definitely want to play well for this year's trophies.

Thank you to our sponsors this year, which include Dynamic Discs, Odyssey Beerwerks (grab a beer or more from them after the tourney, and be sure to thank them), Mas Disc Golf (printing this year's shirts) and MHDGC.

Our incredible artwork is from Tom Hamilton. Thanks Tom!

More information to come next week.

Nathan Tate Where can we find the course layout to practice if we haven’t played it before? May 10

Joel Chirhart May 10 I will be posting a tentative layout in the next couple days.

Geoffrey Nourse May 10

Nathan, the baskets are always in. There are multiple baskets for each hole so you can always play ... show more ›

Nathan Tate May 11 Awesome thank you

Joel Chirhart Players, we have needed to order our player packs, and we've ordered 115 (currently 100 registered). Anybody registering after we've reached 115 players will still receive a player pack, but it may not be with this year's artwork. May 4

Rich Peters May 6 trying to sign up today, would love a shirt for this but the site will not let me get passed the t shirt selection-still within the 115?

Jackson Stevens is this going to be an NADGT qualifyer? Mar 18

Joel Chirhart Mar 18 It is not going to be a NADGT qualifier.
