Best Players Packs Ever!

[austin234]

i helped throw a tourny, the entry was $25 and you got a disc, a mini, a shirt, stickers, towel and lunch. i thouggt that was pretty good for how cheap it was to play

At the Shawshank tourney we got a Biscuts and Gravy breakfeast, A huge steak and potato lunch (It was amazing and the steaks were at least 20oz) between rounds, and a free disc - that was a good day.

My apologies. There was free beer as well. They even drove around on golf carts while we played seeing if we needed refills.

Dufrane puts on good tourneys - I would tell anyone close to Texas to make the trip. Plus Shawshank is one of best courses in Texas, so you really can't go wrong.

I'd love to comment but I think I'll set this one out - opcorn:

you wont know if your putting is good enough for a tourney until you play one, you can drain 25-30 footers all day long at your local course but if you are like alot of people, myself included, those tourney nerves may cause you to miss some you would normally make, get out there and give it a shot!

I'm also worried about playing a course I'm not extremely familiar with. But I'm going to stop hijacking this thread.

GBOs player pack this year was amazing. Two Discs (Ti Wasp and Cryztal FLX Challenger), hat of your choice, dri-fit of your choice, glass mini, GBO water bottle, and tons of coupons. It was loaded.

Don't forget the Kein socks, and sunscreen, lip sun block, players party (which was ok, but it was free food)...

Adding it up, I came up that the players pack was 2x the entry fee.

Ohio am champs last year had 2 discs(glow,cfr) of your choice,dri-fit DD shirt,innova towel,mini driver,numerous stickers,and some other stuff I can't really remember. Great players pack.

Whooo im new to the tourney scene (first offical one is a week from tomorrow hudson spring fling) but imma hit the ohio am probably in rec i hope the player pack is just as good.

Obviously I've not been going to the right tourneys. :\

Dogfish Head sponsored a couple tournys at Cape Henlopen. Players pack had beers and other Dogfish swag, including a sweet mini. First year of the delaware disc golf challenge had a drifit tshirt and 2 CFR discs.

How about this pack from the 2012 National Players Challenge Championship May 26-27, 2012!

The players pack for the AM side of the Vibram Open (VibrAM) this year looks pretty good, even if the cost to play is $75. It is a 3 day event over 2 courses and the last day you play Maple Hill Golds (8215ft, 1010 rating) right before the pros start (if you make the cut after day 2).

Four Vibram golf discs
2012 Vibram Open Vest
Vibram Open / Hyland Orchard pint glass
Maple Hill and Hyland Orchard free day of play pass
Two Player Parties, Buffet

I'd say the "value" is close to double the entry fee.

There are still open spots:

U are doing the acepot in merch? Seriously??

 

[gwillim]

U are doing the acepot in merch? Seriously??

Yes. Consider the options...You have an outdoor sports store as your event sponsor that is willing to throw down $1500 in merch for anything in their store (discs, kayaks, camping gear, clothing, etc) for an ace. Or you don't have an acepot. Does that make more sense?

 

[Frolffiend]

i guess that makes sense. but i wouldnt call it an acepot. and i wouldnt say it with $$$. prob should say gift certificate to "insert name here" if you hit an ace. if no ace is hit is there a throw off? also, I have never heard of merch skins. thats interesting. also, dont say its because its an am only event. Ams can win cash in Ace Pots/ CTPS.

Frolffiend,

Thank you for your input. As for the skins, it's the same gig as the acepot and is being provided entirely by our gracious sponsor, Next Adventure Outdoor Sports. If you have any further issues/comments feel free to PM me. I'm not much of a forum junkie and have no desire to get into a long discussion here.

Cheers,
Ryan Gwillim

that is indeed a sweet players pack, cant wait to see how the BSF stacks up this year!

 

[Spookyspence]

I need to play some tournaments just get some sweet swag lol.

 

[vonDrehle]

I honestly can't remember which has been the best. I'm one of the people that would rather see great players packs for everyone and trophy only ams payout.
