TRO Shirts have been ordered as of 6/4/2019.

If you are an amateur and did not register prior to then, you will still receive a shirt if you are within the first 100 AMS. We will do our best to make sure it is the right size but cannot make any guarantees.

A huge shout out to Brian Wilson TD and all the volunteers of the FDGC. The tournament was ran like a well oiled machine. Countless hours I know were spent organizing the event, prepping the courses, gathering prizes, and set-up and tear down each day of the event. I am very proud to be associated with all the fine men and women of our city who love disc golf. We shined bright as club/city, it was a great event and FUN weekend. I encourage everyone to find some rest this week(where ever and whenever) and drink a few beers this week! Cheers!!!!!

I have to withdraw due to some testing at work. I was excited about this and I do apologize.

james owens    July 9, 2019 at 3:00pm

Any suggestions on hotels in the area? Thanks

Brian Wilson    May 31, 2019 at 3:47pm

I have posted pictures of pools for Swinney and Tillman on here. That being said, I will be posting them on Facebook too, which should allow them to be more visible. Also, I plan to email these out closer to the tournament. If you would like a copy earlier, please contact me directly.

All baskets in Tillman are in the correct position as of 5/31/2019. Thanks!

I need to withdrawal, I didn't realize Idlewild was the same weekend.

Eric "Downtown" Brown    April 1, 2019 at 12:16pm

I see Mystery Player 1 has registered. I'm holding out hope there is also a Mystery Player 2 or 3. I love a mystery with a good sequel. Stay tuned!!
