at least $2000 added cash, and now a recommendation from Lavone Wolfe:

"We went over to Tupelo, Ms to play the Trace Gold course. over 10,000 feet long and awesome!!!!!!! Beautiful lake, perfect grass and USDGC links type golf. Put this one at the top of your list. See you there in two weeks at the Trace Open."

shaping up to be a very good event in a state not known for its disc golf courses!

This tournament is in the books!

check out the results and that nice payout =)

we will now be working on making the gold course permanent in the near future - we will start raising money to buy extra baskets and concrete tee pads, as well as doing the scoring spread from this tournament to make small improvements where we see fit

hopefully this course will a favorite of many players for a long time to come!
