Welcome July 30, 2011

Welcome back to the second annual NorthStar Throwdown. This is again a PDGA A tier tournament hosted here on our courses in St. Cloud, MN.

This year the North Star Throwdown is on August 27 & 28, 2011. Already there are many people to thank for their continued support. For a second year top sponsor DGA, the St. Cloud Disc Golf Club, the Minnesota Frisbee Association, Fairway Flyerz, and Parked.

Here is a little breakdown of what to expect. This years tournament will be the same format as last year with 3 rounds of play for all divisions. All rounds will be 18 holes, an unusual change from my tournaments. The Pro schedule will have them starting off Saturday morning playing Riverside and then onto Millstream. On Sunday they will play their third round at Millstream to be followed by a Final 9 at Millstream for the top 4 Pro scores. The Am schedule begins on Saturday at Millstream followed by an afternoon round at Riverside. Their third round on Sunday morning will be back at Millstream. After the Final 9 awards will be done at Millstream. We can already guarantee the Pro winner will walk away with at least $1,000, the Advanced winner will be getting a Mach V basket with custom tournament number plate from DGA, and the Intermediate winner will receive a Mach Lite.

Planning for an A tier tournament is fun and very exciting, especially since so many others are so excited for it. If you have any ideas or are interested in helping with something please let me know.
