Online registration (http://www.pdgasignup.com/Qstore/Qstore.cgi?CMD=011&PROD=1300950012) is open, and the website (http://www.desmoineschallenge.org/) has been updated.

We are having a $500 skins match for the top 4 scores in the tournament. They will each be paired with 4 raffle ticket winners and will play in a 9 hole alternate shot skins match courtesy of Wal-Mart.

First Class Credit Union is still our title sponsor, adding $3000 to the purse. We have many other cash sponsors, so this will be a first class payout, as usual.

Player packs are looking great for the ams, and we have some nice amenities that will be available at the course for the pros each day.

Also, we will have our player's party at Felix-n-Oscar's again - who also donated $1000! Plan on coming to the party as we will have some very special guests this year as we will be induct Iowa's innagural Hall of Fame Class! Come be a part of this historical event! After the ceremony, there will be tons of giveaways at the party, including a chainstar basket!

Are you ready for 4 of the best courses in the midwest in two days? Are you ready for The Challenge? Register today! Come to Des Moines and see what all the hype is about!

Just signed up for this one. These courses had better live up to the hype, or I want my monies back! Kidding. But seriously, I'm super stoked to get to play in Des Moines for the first time.

Online registration closed Friday! It's not too late! If you didn't get in, make sure you come out to Walnut Ridge sometime between noon and 8PM this Friday to sign up! It's probably too late to mail it in now, and you need to come out to get your player's pack anyway, so come on out to the lake Friday, play some doubles, and get signed up for the biggest event in Iowa!

Spots remaining, by pool:
A pool - 45
B pool - 35
C pool - 38


I'll update the spots remaining totals if I get some locals to sign up this week, so you can guage how early you think you should make it if you're worried about not getting in.


Did I mention we've got around $5k added cash? If you're in the midwest heading out to BHMO, Des Moines really will be your best bet for the payout possibilities, and the courses. Hope to see you Friday!

I left a 10X Eagle out at Ewing last night. It was on I believe hole 16. It was a Yellow 10X With a white stamp and some red sharpie on the front. My name and PDGA number are on the back. MillZ 23516. If anyone finds it and can return it that would be great. Thanks.

We have some great news! LSDiscs will be on board to help merch the event this year, along with Glide, and of course our hometown hero, Proflight Discs! Having a few different vendors from different states helped us achieve our goal of wanting to provide everybody with the opportunity to get something that they want. There will be more than enough to choose from for the amateurs that cash in their divisions.

LSDiscs is also donating some of their merchandise that we'll give away at the player's party Saturday evening at Felix n Oscar's. Make sure you make it out for those giveaways, and much more, including a Chainstar basket! We'll have the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and some great times at Felix n Oscar's this year. Make sure you come out, these guys donated $1,000 to the tournament this year! Let's show them some return on their investment!

Also, when you check in, don't forget to grab some raffle tickets for your chance to play in the $500 skins final sponsored by Wal-Mart! If you want to see what it feels like on the big stage, this is your chance!

Hmmm... I'm a teacher in Memphis and school just let out. I have a wild idea to get up there for this one, but I won't make it to Iowa until late tomorrow night. Can I send paypal to someone privately or register for this saturday morning?

Are late registrants getting player's packs. I'd be registering in Advanced.

I've never played the courses but I've always heard good things about this event...
