Welcome to the Third Annual Nathan T. Thatcher Disc Golf Tournament at Indian Lake.
Thanks for your interest! This will be the first year that this tournament will be PDGA sanctioned. The focus of this tournament is to raise money for the Chippewa Youth Center, a local center that serves the community of Indian Lake and its surrounding areas. A portion of each registration will go towards the Chippewa Youth Center and the Indian Lake Development Corporation in hopes of lifting up the community.

This is a no player's pack event.

In order to both raise the most money for the Chippewa center and at the same time maximize pay out across the entire field, there will be no player's pack for this event. Six Sided Discs will be AM handling payout afterwards and will also be donating discs to the Chippewa Center. If you have discs that you'd like to donate to the Chippewa center as well, please bring them and Six Sided Discs will collect those during the tournament.

The Indian Lake course at Old Field beach has 9 permanent baskets but we'll also be adding 3 additional temporary holes for the tournament. The added holes are to open up registration as much as we can, while still maintaining PDGA legal cards. So there will be two rounds and everyone will play from the same tee boxes for each round. (If we don't fill completely, we may end up not adding all 3 temporary holes but the plan is for 3 temporary holes)

The first round, players will play through all 12 holes twice from the short tees, totaling 24 holes for round one. The second round will play exactly like the first round, totaling 24 holes from the short tees.

If you'd like to sponsor one of the 12 holes, we're going to open up early registration on February 15th. We'll include your name, business, or media company on a sign put up at each hole. Please remember that we will follow the PDGA refund policy. Early sponsor fees are non-refundable, but we will provide a full refund of the entry fee.

If you don’t see your preferred division, feel free to reach out and we can add it.

We will also have a random draw doubles tournament at Noon on the Saturday before on June 10th. Cost for that will be $10 which will all go towards the center but we'll have prizes for winner and some randomly drawn for the participants.

About Tourney
Nathan T. Thatcher was an amazing local, Indian Lake resident who loved disc golf and volunteered with the ILDC (Indian Lake Development Corporation) to put in the Oldfield Beach, 9-hole course at Indian Lake. He unfortunately passed away during the pandemic but his legacy of charity and helping others lives on with this tournament. $10 from every registration will go to the ILDC and Chippewa Youth Center. Please also consider bringing discs to donate to the Chippewa Youth Center since we’re also donating a pop-up basket after the event. To decrease costs of event registration, this is a no player’s pack event.

Course Rules:
• Vehicles and pedestrians have right of way. Please wait until throwing path is clear for both since there’s a walking path that goes along the entire course and the roadway comes into play on temp holes B and C.
• Dredge is considered OB everywhere along course.
• Roadways are considered OB. You can see it pictured in the pictures tab on DiscGolfScene, marked in red.
• Water in Indian Lake is considered OB but if any other standing water is on the course, players can get casual relief from, no closer to the basket.
• All walking paths are considered inbounds.
• Stay out of both “dredge” areas. (The first area is to the right of hole 4 at the top of the hill on other side OB. The second area is beyond the walking path past hole 5’s basket, to the left of the walking path along temp hole A’s fairway, and the area to the left of the walking path on hole 9 and temp hole C) You can see it pictured in the pictures tab on DiscGolfScene, marked in red.
