Northlakes Discraft Ace Race
October 6, 2007

No putting, no approaching, JUST RUNNIN' AT THE CHAINS!!!
A PDGA non-sanctioned Event.

The Race Is On! Each Autumn disc golfers from around the world gather at their local courses for one purpose: to throw aces! No putting... no approaching... just runnin' at the chains. Players all throw the same model disc: a brand new and never-seen-before Discraft prototype disc that is introduced each year especially for the One Disc Ace Race. All players get one of these discs to throw and one to collect. You'll be among the first players to ever throw this new disc design.

$20.00 Entry fee pays for your Player Pack Two identical never-before-seen Discraft prototype discs plus a SuperColor mini and a Discraft hat. A $55 value!

Rules of Play: Players are required to use the player package discs and only these discs. If a disc is lost the player has the option of using the second disc from the package. Only one throw per player per hole. There will be a total of 36 holes played. The person with the most aces will win the event! For more info: http://www.discraft.com/events_acerace_07.html

I realize that Northlakes is a very large park but only about a 3rd of the park will be used and ALL holes will be UNDER 200 feet long (temp tee pads will be created).

Prize package: Grand prize for the event is a Discraft merchandise package valued at or above $300!!!!!!!

Schedule:
9:00 AM 10:00 AM Check in for Pre-registered players and open registration 10:00 AM 11:00 AM (flex start)

2nd part of the day (this is optional):
Bring your partner Doubles!!!! It s time to show us what you and your buddy have got. The start time will be determined by the group as a whole (to allow for a brief lunch). The entry fee is $10 per team and the payouts will be determined by the amount of players...but will follow normal payout standards.
The round will be 24 holes (6 of the temp holes will be used remember that these are ace/birdie holes!) There will more than likely be few CTP contests during the round.

Please note: Those of you that pay through titleDISC or get in contact with me and pay by NO LATER THAN September 22nd will be entered in a drawing and get to participate in CTP (closet to the pin) contests for various prizes!!!! This will take place after the contest.

H,

I'd love to make it. Quite possible too. I could give Ruben the remainder of his GV package. Maybe that'll be my pitch to the wife. Who's your partner for dubs?

I mentioned the dubs part to Deidre before, so I think we may try to play together. If not, I'm not sure...

Followed by Ruben Galindo and 360 Mike with a 9 down

And then tied for 3rd: James Wetter and (I think Zack), and Heidi Tesch and Daniel Shortridge with a 8 down
