Tournament Details

The tournament will run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on May 5. Teams of two can show-up anywhere in that timeframe to play their game. The format will be doubles, scrambles. If you've never played disc golf like this before, it's easy. Teammates attempt to throw discs into a metal basket. Each player throws towards the basket. Then, teammates decide which throw was better and start their next throws from that spot. Players must bring their own disc.

Tournament will follow PDGA rules, for the most part. This event is about having fun and supporting the program, not about winning a big cash purse. So, we'll relax on things like foot placement, out of bounds, etc. As we approach, a full list of rules will be posted below.

The admission charge will be $15 per person or $5 for children under 12 years of age with an adult. Prizes are still in the works. There will also be one shot competitions, such as "closest to the pin" and "longest drive." For more information or to register, call Adam Fitch at 740-767-4938.

Where your money is going ...

Proceeds from the tournament will help fund this year's Watershed Daycamps. The daycamps engage local youth around watershed issues: acid mine drainage, macroinvertebrates and wildlife habitats to name a few. The Environmental Learning Program (ELP) leads learning sessions at these camps, which are organized by the Sunday Creek Watershed Group. Below are pictures from previous Watershed Daycamps.
