Sponsors welcome

DDGC, , , ,

Another reminder about our Sponsor Referral Program and the opportunity it can create for just about anyone who plays at Dragan Field. If you run a business or know someone who does – say your own employer – a small bit of advertising couldn’t hurt, right? We can’t find every potential sponsor on our own, so we’re putting it out to everyone to help out.

We’re open to anything and everything that we can pass on to our tournament players in their registration packs, as CTP/door prizes, or as raffle items.  Of course, cold hard cash for the Pros works too.  For as little as $20 in value, any person or business can put their name on a sign (at minimum) to be seen by everyone attending the tournament.

We pay commission on every sponsor brought in, in the form of free play at Dragan Field.  Every $20 raised earns a day pass in commission.  Earn enough and we’ll convert the day passes to a full season pass.  All the details are on our Sponsor Referral Program page.

Join the list of sponsors already supporting DDGC16, including Marshall Street Disc Golf, Runway Variety, Bucks County Disc Golf Alliance, Dynamic Discs, Dragon Disc Golf, and of course our presenting sponsor Westside Golf Discs.

Help out, get free play.  What’s better than that?

Eric C Yetter Champions Cup

DDGC, , ,

Since 2006, the DDGC and the Eric C Yetter Champions Cup have been trading free entries for each respective tournament.  Each year, three champions from the Yetter are given free entry to the next DDGC and vice versa.  2016 will be no exception.

The winners of the Pro Open, Pro Women, and Advanced divisions at DDGC16 will be awarded free entry for their respective divisions to the 2016 Yetter Champions Cup on July 23-24 at Tyler State Park in Newtown PA.  There is no additional charge for this and all players in those divisions are automatically entered in the running.

Tyler State Park is public park disc golf at its best.  The “Enchanted Forest” boasts 36 holes that feature three pin locations and in many cases, two tees as well.  For this tournament, all the holes are set up in their “C” pin placements, the longest available, for the two Saturday rounds.  On Sunday, a few holes are moved to shorter but still tough “B” positions while the rest remain in the “C” placement.  The result is a grueling but satisfying test of every type of shot imaginable.

Of course, DDGC entrants are welcome to participate in the Yetter with or without the free entry.  Registration is now open at DiscGolfScene.com.  If you are a paid registrant for the Yetter and then you win one of the free entries, your original entry fee will be refunded to you.  So if you want to go, sign up now before the price goes up (early bird discount ends June 1) to make sure you get in.

Earn your way in

Tomorrow evening is the first Monday Night Doubles, sponsored by Dynamic Discs, of the season.  Twelve weeks of doubles to earn free entry to the DDGC.

Last year, despite there being at least 2+ feet of snow still on the course, doubles started off with a bang with 22 players.  And attendance remained steadily over 20 players a week until about halfway through the series. We figure it was in part because players were already feeling like they were out of contention.

Not going to be the case this year as after the halfway point, we’ll be doubling the points available each week.  Then after the 3/4 mark, we’re tripling the points.  And there are more and bigger bonuses to win as well.

With the wait list at 15 and growing, winning Monday Night Doubles may just be the only way to get into DDGC16.  Be at Dragan Field by 5pm.  Tee off will begin promptly at 5:15 in order to give us the best chance to finish in the daylight.

We are full

Last week, we predicted on our Facebook page that if the last MPO/FPO spot wasn’t claimed before the weekend, someone would surely sign up in person at our Ice Doubles tournament on Sunday.  Sure enough, yesterday morning two people were at the counter at the same time with cash in hand hoping to snag the last spot.

When the first gentleman asked, the other audibly groaned thinking he’d been beaten to the punch.  Fortunately for the both of them, we had recently been informed of a drop from FPO which allowed them both to register and get into the tournament on the spot.  So welcome to the event Nick Blouin and Zack Jellis.

Not only did we have two players sign up after we sat with one available spot for about three weeks, we also had our first MPO sign up for the waitlist as well.  Lots of action yesterday.

Today also marks one week until Monday Night Doubles kicks off and the quest to win the last DDGC16 spot begins.  Mark your calendars and be at Dragan Field next Monday around 5pm.

Dragan Field Monday Night Doubles

DDGC, , , , ,

For the third year running, the spring session of Dragan Field’s Monday Night Doubles will award a free entry to the DDGC to its overall winner.  Details can be found on the Monday Night Doubles page.  Note that this entry can be won by a player already registered for the tournament (their paid entry fee would be refunded and the first available player on the tournament wait list will be elevated).

Dynamic Discs has generously agreed to sponsor Monday Night Doubles by providing keychains that will be awarded as “trophies” to the winning team each week.  Players are encouraged to collect the keychains by hanging them from their golf bag, as the individual players with the most keychains at the end of the series will be awarded bonus points toward their total.

The series kicks off on the first Monday after the start of Daylight Saving, March 14.  Be there!
