Flooding / Rainfall Plan
The FDGC has worked hard to get Swinney in shape and ready for the 2021 Three Rivers Open Presented by BFGoodrich.

If you are unaware, the Swinney courses are extremely prone to flooding and the rivers can rise within hours. We HOPE that mother nature is on our side this week but the forecast does not look good. Scattered showers are projected for the five (days) prior to the TRO.

IF we get rain for five (5) days AND the river is not up, approximately 10 of the 36 tees / holes can become hazardous and dangerous for competition.

Throughout the week we will be keeping a keen eye on the forecast as well as conditions at the course. We will look to make a final decision by the virtual player’s meeting Thursday night; however, we may need to make a call on Friday. As soon as we know, an email will be distributed, and posts will go up on Disc Golf Scene and the Fort Disc Golf Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/fortdiscgolfclub). Do some anti-rain dances this week!

Backup Plan
IF it is determined Swinney is unplayable, all competitors will play 1-round on Saturday at Tillman Park and tee-times will be utilized. Therefore, the tournament will be 2 rounds at Tillman Park (1 Round on Saturday / 1 Round on Sunday)


Emergency Contact Info
For all medical emergencies call 911 ASAP.

Good morning, TRO competitors and waitlisters,

The tentative layouts have been set for the 2021 Three Rivers Open Presented by BFGoodrich as well as anticipated tee time structure.

As you will see there is a mix of blues, reds, and white tees for each division. These layouts are similar to years past with the goal of reducing backups while still creating a challenging, competitive layout for each division.

As you will see there is a mix of blues, reds, and white tees for each division. These layouts are similar to years past with the goal of reducing backups while still creating a challenging, competitive layout for each division.

Once I return from the USADGC - I will generate some figures for the layouts so that you can save them to your phone’s camera roll. Also, we will at getting these put into the UDISC app.

Flooding at the Swinney courses is beginning to subside, and Tillman is starting to thicken up. Over the next several months the FDGC is dedicated to getting the courses in tip top shape for TRO36. If you are an FDGC member, please consider donating 1-2 hours trimming or clearing up a hole. It goes a long way!!

If you are coming to practice for the TRO, we plan to move baskets to the tournament locations the weekend of July 31st.

Good morning TRO36 Competitors and waitlisted folks.

I added four (4) MA spots from the FA field. The other thee (3) spots will remain in the FA field until July 31st and then I will move them over.

We are essentially in a numbers game to ensure that we can have 4somes without ghost groups can be achieved.

If you are on the Waitlist, don't fret - there is still a chance you can get in. With the country opening back up - I anticipate people's schedules will change and people w ... more

If you are on the Waitlist, don't fret - there is still a chance you can get in. With the country opening back up - I anticipate people's schedules will change and people will drop out of the tournament. Also, in years past historically fifteen to twenty people have dropped from the tournament..

Have a great summer of disc golf..
