Sponsorship
We are accepting small cash and merchandise sponsorships for this tournament, suitable for CTPs or ring-of-fire prizes.
This tournament is usually our marquee event - garnering the most sponsorship, paying out the highest and always doing shirts and/or hot stamped plastic. Because of our commitment to this year's SNDC we are scaling back the Spring Fling to just a normal fun tournament.
Don't you worry - that doesn't mean we're phoning this one in.
This will be festival weekend here in Lafayette and besides a fun filled 36 holes of golf on Saturday, we will be doing two other things that we hope you'll stick around and enjoy with us...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Player's Party
After the tournament, we're gonna slide on over to Festival Internationale in downtown Lafayette.
One of the largest, 100% FREE outdoor music festivals in the nation just so happens to be going on that weekend and we are going to go out for a night on the town.
Check it out at http://www.festivalinternational.com/site.php
We aren't talking about some two-bit street fair, this is the REAL DEAL
Musical acts from all over the world plus traditional cajun music and Zydeco
Food from the best restaurants in Acadiana
And a nice selection of Lousiana craft beers at the LA Craft Biergarten
You definitely want to stick around for Festivale
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunday Doubles
After partying all night , you might as well stay up and join us Sunday morning for the very first ever round of Sunday doubles at our newly minted course at Heymann Park.
We're going to work extra hard to get the baskets in the ground before the Spring Fling so we can show off the newest addition to the Disc Golf scene in Lafayette to all of our friends.
Just ask the folks who played the temp course out there last September - it is worth sticking around for!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Online Registration
Will be handled through Disc Golf United. This will be up and running tomorrow for those who prefer to pre-register and pre-pay.
Walk ups will be allowed Saturday morning too.
No cap - with 36 holes we should have room for everybody
