This years event will be 18 holes (we will play the regular layout of #1-15, skip #16 and 17, play reg #18 and then play the two tournament holes (old original holes #17 and #18).
This should provide the best flow and overall layout, all divisions will play same layout!!

With Brixx Wood Fired Pizza stepping up for $500 as our first title sponsor, we are now getting close to $800 added cash for this years event!!

Thank you Brixx Pizza!

What does the "Brixx Pizza" on the registration list represent?

What does the "Brixx Pizza" on the registration list represent?

They are just there to populate all of the divisions that will be offered (and to advertise our title sponsor).

There will be a couple of representatives from Brixx playing in the tourney but I don't have names and divisions yet.

All baskets are now in their tournament positions (except the two temp 17,18 (original) holes 19, 20)
The baskets will remain in tourney layout through the tournament and the two temp holes should be installed for entire week before the tourney.

AS ALWAYS, YIELD TO ALL ROPES/CHALLENGE COURSE ACTIVITIES WHEN THROWING NEAR THESE AREAS (HOLE 3,4, AND TOURNAMENT TEMP HOLES 17 AND 18)!!!!

IF YOU SEE ANY ACTIVITY AT ALL ON ANY CHALLENGE OBSTACLE, DO NOT ASSUME THAT YOU CAN THROW JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTROL A DISC. FIRST, ASK THE FACILITATOR IF YOU MAY PLAY THROUGH.
THE CHALLENGE COURSE STAFF KNOWS THAT THE TOURNAMENT IS UPCOMING AND WILL PROBABLY LET YOU THROW IF YOU ARE PATIENT AND POLITE. BUT REMEMBER, THEY HAVE PRIORITY AND THEY ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL THE TOURNAMENT AND PULL THE COURSE!!!
IF THEY ARE BUSY, YOU MAY HAVE TO SKIP THE HOLE. PLEASE RESPECT THE OUTDOOR EDUCATION CENTER AND MOVE PEACEABLY TO THE NEXT HOLE(S). THANK YOU!!!

that being said...

#1. reg
#2. long pad, long basket (lost disc may throw from last lie or short pad (drop zone)
#3. long basket (drop zone for OB pond will be to the left of the pond)
#4. reg pad

#11. reg
#12. reg
#13. reg (par4)
#14. left basket

REMEMBER, TOURNEY LAYOUT SKIPS NORMAL HOLES 16 & 17, AND WE'LL ADD THE TWO TOURNEY HOLE AT THE END
#16. reg hole 18
#17. tee driveway (marked) to long basket for old hole 17 basket position (par 4)
#18. tee from natural pad, basket on old foundation, original hole 18 (par 4)

course par 57


hole #6 clarification: due to standing water/ mud the original basket (no sleeve, pole concreted straight in ground) was removed recently. The plan is to build a 20 ft square elevated terrace, with the basket in the center, to prevent standing water around the basket. We hope to have it in by the tournament, but are at the mercy of the state for materials (telephone poles) to build the terrace walls. If it can not be completed in time, we will play the right basket location, where the basket is currently, and usually dry.

The following message (in CAPS below) refers to practice rounds at UNC. The entire course will be reserved for the tournament (no challenge course activities will be scheduled during the disc golf tourney. There may be casual use of the tennis and volleyball courts, these areas will be OB, as will any fenced areas and concrete/ pavement)

I will be out of town this weekend and unable to update the preregistration list.
It will be updated on Tues after Memorial day.
If we fill over the weekend, the waitlist will start according to the order of arrival of payments:
Mailed checks by date of arrival and paypals by timestamp

I'm excited to come back to this one!

Where are all of the PROS?

The final two tournament holes will be installed for Saturday Random doubles at 10:30 tomorrow and will remain in place all week for tournament practice. $5 entry. Meet at hole #8. We will have a workday following doubles: mulching, prunning etc. Bring tools if you got em and water. Folks will probably take a quick lunch break following doubles and regather at the course around 1:30.

The HIGH Elements Course is near tournament holes 3 & 4

A COMBO Course will utilize both Low and High Elements on holes 3, 4, 17, 18

Please check to make sure you will not be playing tournament holes 3, 4, 17, 18 during these times or risk being forced to skip these holes due to conflict.

(Attention: this schedule may change without notice at any time)

June 4th - COMBO small (12) group 8am-1pm
June 5th - LOWS large (40) group 1pm-5pm
June 8th - LOWS large (100) group 9am-2pm
June 9th - LOWS large (100) group 9am-2pm
June 10th-COMBO small (15) group 10am-5pm

Note: Most Challenge Course sessions are completed by 5pm daily.

This means that the absolute best time for all day practice on the course will be Mon & Tues, June 6th and 7th.

The UNC DG club will host Doubles this Saturday at 10:30 am ($5) and there will be a workday following (~1:30pm). Please bring tools for pruning and mulch moving if possible.
There is $5 cash singles (random draw for partner after the round, take best score per hole) on Monday night at 6pm. Both meet at hole #8.

Warning: we encountered several yellow jacket ground nests while moving some stumps today on tourney hole #18. Near the landing zone at the bottom of the hill, just inside the gap in the trees leading up to the basket on the mound, there is a ring of tree stumps used as stools. While moving these, we uncovered the nests. They have been sprayed, but all are probably not killed. We'll hit em again tomorrow, but beware for the next day or so.

This weekend, coinciding with the disc golf tournament, Carolina Baseball will be hosting Stanford in the Super Regional in hopes of returning to Omaha for the College Word Series. Boshamer Baseball Stadium is very close to the Outdoor Education Center/ UNC disc golf course, and parking/ traffic will be impacted. Access to Ridge Road will be limited to permit holders only, and left turns from Raleigh Rd onto Country Club Road (the only way to access the top parking lot of the disc golf course) will be discouraged by traffic cones and UNC Police.

Tournament disc golfers should still turn left onto Country Club Rd from Raleigh Rd at the light.
Simply tell the officer/ attendant that you are going straight on Country Club to the OEC/ disc golf tournament (NOT right on Ridge Rd) and they will let you through.

Make sure to allow travel time for possible traffic delays.

Only a couple of spots left, who will get them?

There will be a short workday this evening to tidy up the course and spread some mulch on a few greens. Meet at hole #1 parking lot at 6pm.

Can't fit it all in the picture!

Is that an original Renoir in the picture?

Hot round gets the Renior!!!????
