About this tournament
$750 added cash
3 rounds of play
8 Years ago, following a dream, I hosted "The Airborne Invitational"
This was "The First PDGA Sanctioned Event to take place on Fort Bragg, NC. The main effort behind this tournament is to bring visibility of the sport of Disc Golf to Fort Bragg. I (Bradley) have submitted a Proposal Letter to get a permanent Disc Golf Course installed on Fort Bragg at the Smith Lake Recreation Area. If we accomplish this task, we will look to have the Annual Event”
