Info for players
This will be a best shot double event. Both partners will throw one shot off the tee pad, then play from the best of the two for every stroke. As soon as one player makes a shot in the basket, their partner does not need to attempt a shot on that basket.
If you have a partner, you can sign up as a team or you can email me after you have both signed up so we can make the team for you. Anybody without a partner will be paired up with one after registration closes.

Teams can be coed. If team mates register for different skill levels they will play at the higher level of the two players. We will pair up unmatched teammates in matching skill levels as much as possible.
Top three teams in each division (advanced, novice, veteran) will receive one trophy disc.
Every player will receive your choice of either 2 discs or one disc and an event t-shirt.
Registration will close two weeks prior so that we can ensure we have enough player packs in time for the event.

Hello Everyone,
We're one week away from some doubles disc golf! I spoke to the event sponsor earlier this week and have some good, and some bad news. Bad news first, we will be short one large Tshirt, and will not be receiving any X-Large shirts. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We did order enough discs to make up the difference so that those of you who won't get your shirt can get a driver instead.

Hello Everyone,
We're one week away from some doubles disc golf! I spoke to the event sponsor earlier this week and have some good, and some bad news. Bad news first, we will be short one large Tshirt, and will not be receiving any X-Large shirts. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We did order enough discs to make up the difference so that those of you who won't get your shirt can get a driver instead. On that note and onto the good news, the disc selection for both putters and drivers is going to be greater than we planned. We will have Sheriffs, Trespasses, Vandals, Judges, Wardens, and Deputies. There is going to be a limited supply of each, so if you are picky, please come as early as possible to get the player pack that you want. We'll be there by 0630.

Below are some notes for the day of the event:
Masks will be required at check in/awards.

First group will tee off at 7am with the next group following approximately every 25 minutes. Refer to the tee times that were previously emailed out.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to check in, set up live scoring, and get your player pack.

We will have an optional $1 ace pot and $1/shot at closest to pin on hole 1.

Please be aware of groups on other holes. We're trying to minimize cross-fire but there are no guarantees.

After your round is finished, check out and see if you may need to play any playoff holes.

Ties will only go to playoff if they are for 1st-3rd place. Playoff holes will be an alternate layout that will be announced on the day of the event if necessary. Playoffs will be "sudden death" format.

Awards will be given to 1st-3rd place in each division after all divisions are done. Extra discs, if we have them, can also be purchased at this time.

I see registration closed on the 13th...are there any slots left??

Jonathan Leffelman    February 3, 2021 at 7:36pm

We’ve had some questions about teammates registering in different divisions. If teammates have mixed divisions, their playing division will be as follows

Advanced + novice = advanced

Advanced + veteran = advanced

Veteran + novice = veteran

Ken Graham    February 3, 2021 at 5:28am

Which layout will be used?

Jonathan Leffelman    February 2, 2021 at 3:57am

We will be doing an optional $1 ace pot and a Closest To Pin (CTP).
If more than one ace is hit, the cash will be split evenly between whoever gets the aces. If no ace is hit, all money will be added to the donation to the VFW.
The CTP will be on hole one. Players may pay one dollar per attempt to win the CTP. There are no limits to attempts, but each attempt is $1. You may count your actual drive for your round on this hole if you’d like.

Im a Vet but my partner is not. Can i play in the Vet category still or do we both have to play in the same category?

A.V. Anderson Course

This course utilizes a small area to play 18 holes. We plan to space out the cards so that we don’t have any “cross fire” such as a group on hole 1 and 7 at the same time. That being said, there is still a chance of shots landing a fairway over. We will ask that all players stay aware, and those not actively throwing act as spotters for both your group and any group you may be playing toward.

The course layout can be seen in an attached picture or on the UDisc app. Because part of our goal in this event is to grow the game and bring some newer players in, there are a couple changes for those who are familiar with the course. There is normally a triple mando on hole three, an island and drop zone on hole 12, and mandos on 15. These won’t be in play for this event, but all regular out of bounds will be. OB is marked by orange flagging and we will make a more descriptive list for those not familiar with the course.

Jonathan Leffelman    January 12, 2021 at 7:13pm

There will not be a minimum amount registered to hold the event, but we will have a minimum of 20 player packs. If we don’t have ten teams, there will be player packs or individual discs/shirts available for purchase at the event that will still go toward the donation.

Adam Sharp    January 11, 2021 at 3:44am

Also, it’s not random draw doubles, correct? We can bring our own partner?
Will there be divisions M&W, M&M, W&W.

Adam Sharp    January 11, 2021 at 3:42am

I want to sign up but I don’t see anyone else? Is this happening?
