ADDED CASH for this event is $2800.00 with only 80 players allowed to enter this event, somebody is going to escape with a wad of cash!

Will all added payout go to the MPO field?
If not, how do you plan on dividing up the payout per division?

Thanks & see you May 5th!

Where can we mail in our entry?

Where can we mail in our entry?

fullcontactdiscgolf.com is handling signups for this one. Birdshot (Tiffany and myself) are doing all the admin parts.

Mail in entries can be sent to Steve DuFrane @ 450 four notch rd Huntsville Tx 77340. this event will not be for the feint of heart, skill and shot making ability will be at a premium, but you will be playing one of the most beautiful and challenging layouts in Texas!

Added cash will be divided equally among the players entered, regardless of division.
only 80 players will be allowed to enter this event, due to the skills and technical nature of this course, we don't want to be waitin all day on cards to get past Death Row or conjugal visit... but I will put up lights and sit out there till midnight just for the pleasure of watching the best in Texas play Tin Cup!

Thanks for the replies.
My entry check is in the mail... oh, wait - "feint of heart, skill and shot making ability will be at a premium" uh oh - hmmm - O.K. - I'll play anyway.
"you will be playing one of the most beautiful and challenging layouts in Texas!" This is why we play!!
"Added cash will be divided equally among the players entered, regardless of division."

Upload coming shortly. Sorry for the wait. Tiffany had a large tumor removed last week and we're still kinda getting back into the normal swing of things.

cool..........My hope and thoughts go out to Tif

Sign ups are picking up steadily! Don't miss out!

The cleanup efforts to get this course in to "yard of the month" shape are now in full swing, we have a standard of course excellence in preparation, that few other facilities can match... The course layout and variety of fun challenging shots make this venue one of the best kept secrets in the disc golf community. While I admit the challenges and expense to hold an A tier event for my 50th birthday is a somewhat brash and financially foolish way to celebrate a birthday, I want to celebrate surviving these years with friends and family and the disc golf community as a whole for allowing me to pursue and live the dream of playing disc golf in my own back yard. I hope that those of you who are able, have the time and means to come and play my little back yard variety disc golf course, its an escape from the norm... for your efforts, you get a chance to win a share of up to $10,000.00 cash, your own custom made disc golf prison jersey, and a conjugal visit or two... sign up soon, check out the reviews on dg course review, come play Shawshank, I'll beat you with a ROC! Thanks Steve, D.

"I'll beat you with a ROC!"
D'oh! I hate it when that happens!

Happy 50th Steve! Welcome to the club.

We are spending every weekend we have left plus all the evening hours possible to finish the final preparations for this event May 5th and 6th. For those of you who have never played here before, you will be in for a pleasant surprise! For those of you who have previously done time here at Shawshank, you will like the changes and improvements we have made to the course. Please check out photos on my facebook page to view some wonderful shots of the holes at Shawshank. Hope to see you here in May! Thank you for all the support you give when you come play our backyard variety disc golf course!

best way to add the 2800.00 cash to the payout of each div. I favor letting first second and third have all the added cash, any better Ideas?

I'd rather see it filtered down & pay-out deeper into the field.

needs a deeper field then...

My entry is going to post office mailbox tonight Steve. I kept thinking I'd be running into ya at one of the events around here, but haven't.

I've been talking about it and looking forward to it for months now. I can't seem to get some of my "usual suspects" to join me in stint, but regardless, I'm in.

See ya soon.

I wanted to thank all those who signed up early for this event, I don't have the time to go out to other tournaments and play as I have been trying to get the course ready for this event. The amount of trees lost to the draught was truly amazing, then our main lawn mower was out for the month of March... all is now fixed and we have been working nonstop every weekend and early mornings and evenings to get the course ready. will be leaving here shortly to get to more mulch and then be spreading it this evening. last minute trimming, boundaries marked and tee signs set and proper distances with new magnets made are all thats left to do. Have people who have never been to Shawshank coming out and signing up on the spot regardless of rating just for the chance to play this course in a tournament! We will welcome all players regardless of rating and will offer a plastic instead of cash payout for those who don't wish to risk their AM status. Every one gets a custom official Texas prison inmate jersey with your name and P.D.G.A. number on the back. This course is also designed for spectators to follow along and watch the fun as players navigate some of the most beautiful and creative disc golf shots anywhere in Texas! Read the reviews, come out and play, or just come witness the fun, Shawshank! find me guilty...

Online registration for the Shawshank Pro H.E.I.S.T. ends tonight at 8:00 pm.

Many thanks to all of the hard work done by all of the volunteers and staff at ShawShank!

The course looks better and better every time I get to play it and I thoroughly enjoyed my rounds out there this weekend.

Steve, thanks to you for hosting this event, and to your parents and wonderful family for turning out in force to cook us great meals and wonderful desserts! There can't be a better themed course in all of the US! I meant to leave behind my prison jersey and a bar of soap. Ha!

Was great to hear Tiff's good news at TWDGC and see her competing again at Shawshank. :-)

Gotta Love 2 person divisions!

So who actually won open?

Brad hit his birdie on #6 for the play-off win.
