2017 Kick-Off Weekend is upon us!

We had 123 players compete in the 2016 Atlanta Bag Tag Finals event. The kick-off weekend for 2017 Atlanta Bag Tag Challenge has been set for March 4th & 5th. Sign up for one of these fun events to secure your place in the league. If you aren't able to stay and play you can either send money for a tag with someone or get your tag and run the day of the event. Really no reason to miss out on the fun.

Congrats to Isaac Robinson for his victory and claiming this years #1 tag among some strong local competition from some of Atlanta's top golfers! We couldn't have had better weather for a December Sunday as the field was electric and pumped all day. Matches started a few minutes after 8am and by 11am the Final 32 along with the ADGO sponsored Doubles were under way! The entire day proceeded MUCH FASTER than expected (ran approx 2 hours ahead of schedule) as a 2nd round of casual doubles started at 2pm while the final pairing was wrapped up by 3pm!

CTPete Charlton started the day off with a skip ACE on hole 2, first throw and hole of the event with a large gallery watching!

Kim Collins ACED hole 6!

Daniel Keefe ACED hole 12 to knock out Nathan Garner on their first play-off hole in round 5!

I would like to take this time to thank those involved in making my first year as ADGO Bag Tag Administrator a success as I could have not done this on my own.....

Thank you to all 200 players that signed up and kept the season alive all year by playing for tags at local events and during casual play!

Thank you to our Action Team... Craig Dickerson, Martin Young, Patrick Gwin, Derek Hollis, Lidiane Smith, Barry Arnson and Matt Dollar for running tags at tournaments and helping coordinate and facilitate this years Finals!

Thank you to Martin Young for coordinating and executing his FIVE Bag Tag Invitationals which helped cover the cost of ALL the food/drink provided for the Finals!

Thank you to all the TD's for allowing us to play for tags at your events and supporting us while we use your Tournament Central to run our Action!

Thank you to Bryan Gort for his assistance in filling out the Finals Bracket to help ensure check-in went smooth and Matches started on time! Having required pre-registration and the brackets filled out BEFORE the Finals was CRUCIAL to the days success!

Thank you to Little Flyer for supplying the tags for the 9th straight year for our league!

We look forward to making the 10th ADGO Bag Tag Season in 2016 the BIGGEST and BEST yet!

LMP has been closed by the Gwinnett County Parks and Rec until further notice.

After much deliberation and communication with the GDGO and the Gwinnett Parks and Rec Dept, the decision is being made to hold the ADGO Bag Tag event (#4) at Alexander Park on Sunday at 2pm. LMP has been closed by the Gwinnett County Parks and Rec until further notice. The course has been deemed a SEVERE safety hazard and they will not open it for play until they can assure the public it is 100% safe to enter the course. They anticipate reopening the course by next weekend and will try to the best of their ability to get it open sooner.

I have to express my sincere gratitude to Jason Oherron and Ryan Harris for keeping me informed on accurate and timely information to be able to make this difficult decision less than 48 hours before event time.

Thank you to the Atlanta disc golf community for your understanding and cooperation with this change!

Hope everyone enjoys this first run at a Kick-Off weekend and has tons of fun regardless of the impending weather!

Registration for all FOUR bag tag events go LIVE tonight at 6PM on this page! We have picked four courses in separate areas of Atlanta to make it easier to get a tag with minimal travel to your local course. Please be sure to read over each events description before making a decision on which one you would like to register for. You may only register for ONE of the four events as if you register for 2 or more during the weekend you will be excluded from play for the ENTIRE weekend and will be able to purchase a tag after all four events are complete (pending there are any left).

These events were created to ensure we only have a MAX of 50 players show at each location as to not be over run with players at any one event. We are not trying to coordinate a massive bag tag challenge during kick-off weekend. The purpose of this is to merely get tags distributed to players to start the season.

Make sure you don't wait on registration as all four events are expected to fill up quickly!

Good luck and see everyone on Feb 21st and 22nd!

ADGO version 2.0 "The REVIVE" is right on track...

The adventure of bringing back the ADGO from the brink of disappearing began in November 2013 with a few conversations ignited by the passion of three individuals. John Ritger, Barry Arnson and myself knew there was a way to bring back "the" organization for disc golf in Atlanta and as they say, the rest is history. Over the past 12 months we have partnered, collaborated and pursued every possible avenue for success in bringing the ADGO back into the mainstream. We have since incorpora ... more

Over the past 12 months we have partnered, collaborated and pursued every possible avenue for success in bringing the ADGO back into the mainstream. We have since incorporated three of Atlanta's biggest clubs/organizations as Affiliates and have since started taking Memberships for the first time in over three years! Our 3 year REVIVE plan includes 2014 - REBUILD, 2015 - RELAUNCH and 2016 - REGROW. We are excited to end year one on a positive note and look forward to our Members involvement in making the future bright for the ADGO!

ERP Update

Sent a message to Pete about adding the Blue tees to the ERP course info. So double check your scores on that course and make sure you have the correct pads listed for each round.
