Hi all, time for Round 3 of Putting Michigan First.

Far Flung Enterprises, Discraft, and the Ann Arbor Area Disc Golf Club will once again be overseeing the odyssey of three commemorative Challenger putters as they travel to every public basket in Michigan in the care of volunteer disc golf ambassadors.

The discs will end their respective journeys at Hudson Mills in Dexter just before the beginning of the Discraft Great Lakes Open in June.

If you would like to volunteer to play with one of the discs at your local course (using it for putts only, please) this spring, please PM me here or send an email to [email protected] Be sure to include your phone, address, and course preference.

courses already assigned are: Brown Park and Goldenrod - Brett Stryker; Brown Park - Peter Wynngard; Cass Benton - Steve Millz; Kensington - Jen Dombrowski. I still need to find one more person to play with the 3rd putter at Brown before it closes.

All Ambassadors will date and autograph their disc before passing it along to the next ambassador on the route. After the discs have been played at every course, they will be placed in VERY special trophy cases, and will be awarded as bonus trophies to the Men's and Women's Open Division and the Advanced Men's champions of the DGLO.

Thanks in advance for your interest and participation in this unique effort to show others the fun of Putting Michigan First.

Cool idea.

You should leave the last hole at DGLO course off and let the
respective winners finish off the trip.

that's a suggestion worth strong consideration.

recently added ambassadors include:

Scott Aiken (Brown Park putter #3)
Kevin Williamson - Jackson County Community College
David Bihl - Devil's Ridge
Pat Erley - Ludington Area (Pat gets his choice of the four courses)

correction: Sean MacKenzie is actually playing Dr. TK Lawless Park in Vandalia (and not Indianhead Mountain in Wakefield, as previously indicated).

Indianhead Mountain in Wakefield is still available!
