Holly Woods Update
Holly Woods Disc Golf Course has over 1/2 of the upper and lower assemblies of the baskets removed. The other half will be removed first thing in the morning. This was done in accordance of the social distancing order which at many times was not be followed so the course was close me but even then people continued to play it. It will be reinstalled at the time the orders have been rescinded.

DGLO-Toboggan
We are still looking for a limited number of spotters Friday - Sunday at the Toboggan. This is preferably an all day commitment however, if you cannot do a whole day we may be able to work you in. Because of the removal of the autumn olive on the course the number of spotters is much smaller than in years past. All spotters will be provided with a dri fit shirt, lunch, and some x out discs provided by Discraft. If you are interested in spotting for the event, please post here, indicating the days that you are available to spot. Thanks!

Triple Alliance Open Course Change
Due to the HORRIBLE course conditions at Holly Woods this event is being moved to Memorial Park in Frankenmuth. Please do not park at the dog park parking lot and enter the park off Park Street off of Genesee Street. There is plenty of parking and you will not have to walk up the big hill to get to me. I will be set up near the Basket #7.

Hope to see many more of you there. The course is in great shape. The weather is supposed to be 50 and sunny....
