January Monthly Tournament

Sunday January 19th we are running our second annual "David Guy's One Disc Extravaganza" so don't miss it. What is a one disc extravaganza? Well thats the best part leave your bag at home and bring two things a putter of your choosing for the first round. A putter as defined for this tournament is any disc with speed 3.5 or lower with a blunt nose so if your putt with a firebird you are SOL. the second thing you need is a disc you are wiling to let a stranger throw. The second round will be the mystery disc round using any disc speed 4 or higher (mids drivers etc.). All the second round discs will go into a lottery and each participant will be given a number assigned to a disc and you will play the second round with only the mystery disc. When bringing your second round disc keep in mind that it must be PDGA legal (no holes, not broken, and not the 99 cent dog discs from pets mart) and it should be marked in a manner so that we can easily return it to you at the end of the day. When you pick this disc remember its what your competition will be throwing so chose strangely, just to make it interesting you wont even get to see your mystery disc until the cards are picked up on the way to your hole to start round two so good luck. As always with a Guy event expect a few interesting mandos and different basket placements just to keep you on your toes.
