At registration for the LCQ you will pay your entry to the Championship. If you do not make it into the Championship we will refund your entry $.

You may sign up for the LCQ even if you do not play in the LCQ. This will save you a spot in the Championship if spots are still available after the LCQ. You will not have to pay a late fee Sat morning. We do however need to know those are your intentions so we will know to give you the avail. spot. You will also need to pre pay your entry fee. All Sat registration will have a $20 late fee (LCQ +$10). This $ will go towards the purse.

WELCOME TO THE
DISCRAFT
MICHIGAN STATE FINALS


Sponsored by the MDGO and JBIRD DISCS!!!!


FRIDAY AUG 31 THRU MONDAY SEPT 3

Welcome again to the 17th annual tournament at Ludington and the 21st State Championship sponsored by the MDGO!

Changes for this year-
Riverside Park, Scottville
Scottville now has 24 holes at Riverside Park on the south end of town- It is now a permanent piece of the State Finals- There are now 15 tight wooded holes and 9 in the big field. Technical AND big air!

Leviathan, Ludington
The four year project to cement the long and short holes at Leviathan has begun- WE KNOW THE TEE PADS SUCK- you may tee BEHIND any mat instead of on them.

Mason Co Park- Ludington and
Flip City- Shelby

The three courses at Mason Co Park and Flip City at Shelby remain unchanged- The PRO tees will be used by ALL divisions at Flip City and the BLACK LINE on the tees is the tee- NOT the end of the pad

Bathroom issues at Mason Co Park will mean portajons for use as the Mens room- urinals only. Too many people for the septic system!!

-Thanks to Pat Erley for his spectacular new “tee” and “next tee” signs!
-Thanks to Dan “mow maniac” Gipe for mowing, tons of work and Scottville course design.
-Thanks to Jon Houk and Bud Parrish for trimming everywhere, and anything else we needed!!
-Thanks to Bill McKenzie for letting us include Flip City!



-COMING IN 2013- WEST SHORE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
