I've teamed up with the Pleasant View Disc Golf Club in Russellville to start an annual sanctioned event there, any that have played the course will agree that it's an incredible piece of property and layout.

We've chosen the charity route because of our strong feelings in promoting our future, the youth to this great sport.

The PDGA has been kind enough to allow us in the Charity Endowment Program which entails 25% of the entry and the normal $2 player fee plus $2 additional to go to the charity, this also allows the $10 non-member fee to be waived - there are no mulligans with this event so it will be rated

For a $22 entry fee - Basically $10 to EDGE, $2 to the SN Series and the rest towards payout, included in the entry is a FREE Players Pack to ALL players worth a min. of $20, the Pleasant View Disc Golf Club has done an outstanding job getting sponsors - if we get more sponsors it will go to fatten the event up as best we can

One of my key goals is to educate the growing number of newer disc golfers in this area about the regional tourney scene as well as the benefits the PDGA can provide

This event is one of many qualifiers for Arkansas residents to make the cut and play on Aug. 7th at Russellville to decide our State USDGC Rep along with the cash to help fund the trip

Of course it is also a SN Qualifier to support this great series and ensure that our players can attend the combined pro/am SN Championships in Memphis over Labor Day weekend

We have several key sponsors including Keen, the makers of the Milo disc golf shoe and also Maui Jim Sunglasses.

The Pleasant View Disc Golf Club has already obtained many key local sponsors that we'll be listing soon - as they continue to obtain sponsors we will make this tourney as fat as we can!!

I believe this event to be a great value for a great cause and it will only get better :)

The course in Russellville deserves and should have a quality event annually !!!!!!! This tourney was a great start to the future development of Disc Golf in the area !!!!!! :)

I look forward to playing disc golf next year at the 2nd annual "War on the Shore" !!!!!!! :cool:

Scores are finally up, I'm missing 2 score port cards - I'll figure it out from the actual scorecards which are at home later

I think Matt Loyd's 895 rating and then shooting the hot round of 53 lowered the ratings :D

$660 Raised for the EDGE Program!!

The lightning scared the crap out of me, the delay and getting out late at around 7ish also sucked but other than that it was great to see so many new players and old friends, we had 6 Juniors which was awesome

This is definitely a premiere course - the USDGC State Spot Playoff on August 7th is gonna Roc!!

How about all those WAFDA members !!!!!!! :cool:

I'm counting at least 15-16 in the house !!!!!! More signs of a growing Disc Golf community thats going to make some WAVES in the future !!!!!! :cool:

Maybe SOONER than LATER !!!!!! :eek:

Sorry about the weather...and bugs...and wind, but other then that, I couldn't be happier. Evan put a ton of work into helping us have our first PDGA sactioned event on our great course. Glad everyone could be a part of it!
