100 People Pre-Registered!!! The W.I.F.F.S. began back in 2013 with 33 people in this tournament. In the 9 years since this is the biggest field we have ever had and biggest Disc Golf Tournament ever at Forest Park.!

I can't thank all of you enough for deciding to spend your money for our charity, and spend your Saturday with us tomorrow. This is truly amazing, and again a big thank you to everyone that is coming and I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow. Hole assignments have been posted. Here is a link for all of you.

Tee Off again is at 9:30 AM. You can start Checking In and Picking up your players pack discs at 8:00 AM at the Cow Palace near Hole 15.

I will be onsite early to make sure all the pads are nice and clear, or to have a back up in place if my ice melt didn't / doesn't work on a couple.

Any questions you may have last minute, or any donations you would like to make to the event / charity please message me on here, or find myself or Jason Labella tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be a great day. See you all then.

Some people have been asking me a few questions so I hope today's post helps.

In years past we have always had Pizza donated/bought at lunch and sold and donate all the money we get to the charity. Covid-19 has made this a no go this year. So instead we will have a lunch break between rounds 1 and 2. There are about 10 different places within a mile or 2 of the park so food is not an option. Also plenty of locals so just ask around if you want to eat a certain place. If you would like to donate to the charity at lunch time a donation bucket will be around.
As far as the schedule here it is.

At the Cow Palace next to Hole 15 is the parking lot where Check in will be. It is the biggest structure in the park, it is in the middle, you can't miss it.

8:00am - Check in and player pack pickup
9:30am - 1st Round Tee Off
12:30pm - 1:30pm Lunch Break (Estimate)
1:30pm - 2nd Round Tee Off (Estimate)

Any questions please ask them. Tomorrow morning I will be in the park for a couple hours marking all the OB lines and such, feel free to stop by and find me there too.

Note: If you throw into the National Guard Armory DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT attempt to, or enter the Armory. Entering into the fenced area is grounds for dismissal from the tournament. They are very nice, and let us play here, and let us have this hole here. PLEASE don't go in there. If you throw one in there please write your name, and number on the list that will be provided at the tournament. Also make sure your discs are clearly marked with names and numbers. I am going there Monday the 8th if people happen to throw in there to retrieve any lost discs, so if you throw one over I will do my very best to get it back to you.***

Skybreed Discs has graciously donated a CTP for EVERY SINGLE HOLE for the tournament. I can't thank them enough for the incredible support. They are truly the best. As of now the current plan is for a 20 Hole layout. The final decision will come tomorrow as I will be at the course marking the Tees for the extra holes, and possibly placing the baskets.

Distances of all holes and the OB's will be posted tomorrow afternoon. So stay tuned, and if you have time in your day go check out Skybreed Discs.
