The Acadiana Disc Golf Association proudly presents
The 14th Annual Mid Winter Open at Pa Davis Park
Schedule and Format
Saturday, January 19th at Pa Davis. Registration opens at 8:00 AM. A brief players meeting will follow the conclusion of registration and the first round will tee off at 9:30 AM.
Keep this in mind - we are starting 30 minutes early to make sure we don't run out of daylight.
All divisions will play the established tees, except for novices and juniors. They will play a mixture of the normal tees and shorter "blue" tees on certain holes. Blue tees will be clearly marked as always.
We are still holding out hope that concrete tee pads can be finished on the back 9 holes before this event but it does not look like the weather is going to cooperate with us. The excavations have already been done for pads and if we are unable to get cement in the ground in time, we will mark tee locations immediately next to or behind the holes where the pads are going to be placed.
Aside from this one issue, the park is looking better and is more playable and fun than it has ever been before. The Parks Department came in and did a ton of work - cleared dead trees, spread dirt, cleared major overgrowth, improved drainage, etc - and it really shows. There are flight paths that were not there last year and even some that were not there last month.
Tee time for the second round will be announced and posted at lunch, once all of the first round score cards have been turned in.
An awards ceremony will follow the second round once the final scores have been tallied. All CTP prizes, awards, merchandise and cash won by players will be presented at the awards ceremony.

Food and Beverages
To ease the pain of the $5 fundraiser, we're gonna feed two meals at this tournament.
Lunch will be served FREE of charge to all players between rounds. John is cooking up a pot of chili and we'll have hot dogs, chips and soda to go with it.
AND
Somewhere's Else Bar & Grill took a real liking to us after the last tournament. So much so that Carol - the owner - has invited us back after this tournament for drink specials and he will be serving FREE chicken and sausage gumbo too. We encourage our out of town guests to stay and join us in the festivities.
