Due to the overwhelming demand to play the King of the Mountain event on March 20th, Mr. DiscGolf is pleased to announce that we're adding two temp holes to accommodate some of the waitlisted people. Since we're teeing off at 9:30am…and we'll have daylight savings on our side, we can make this happen!!
Adding these 2 extra holes will allow an additional 10 people to play King of the Mountain. The first 9 players on the waitlist currently are now IN the event.

THE 100TH SPOT!!

As MrDiscGolf is a proud supporter of EDGE (Educational Disc Golf Experience), we are going to auction off the 100th spot on eBay with ALL proceeds benefitting EDGE. If you are the winner of this spot, you can use it for your current registration, assign to a player of your choice, or just donate that spot to the next person on the list! The Auction will be listed for 5 days starting the evening ofMarch 5th!
Please check www.mrdiscgolf.com or our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/MrDiscGolf/136330546397762?ref=ts for the ebay link! Again, this auction will be open to anyone, even those who have already registered and would like to "help the cause".

King of the Mountain (2) extra temp holes:
Temp #1 = from road near #5 to field in front of pavilion
Temp #2 = from near 15's basket down to temp basket near 16's tee
That way it's 10 on the front and 10 on the back.
Special thanks to the LVDC for helping with the temporary holes layout.
