SVDGO 2021

Who's ready???
After seeing a bunch of these great events Fill in Minutes, to me it felt like folks were being left out of the Events world.

With some thought, some help, and a bit of some extra planning, I have come up with a way to expand a Field larger than any other that we have had here in the Shenango Valley and to insure that most EVERYONE that would want a PDGA Rated Round at either course, an awesome player pack, and 2 days of fun with friends.

2021 is the Year EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY!

With Scheduled Tee Times and 2 Courses, we will be able to host 320 Players in a Flex Start 2 Round Event!
Each course will host 19 Holes of Play! Tee Times will be no longer than 12 Minute intervals and last Tee will be at 5pm.

Registration will go Live on March 13th at 7pm EST.
This is a Pro C / AM B Tier 2 Round - 2 Day Event.
We will be allocating the Registered Fields into 2 Pools.
A Pool - Pines Saturday > Buhl Sunday
B Pool - Buhl Saturday > Pines Sunday

WE are currently looking for Sponsors to help with AM Player Packs as well as some Added Cash for the Pro Purse!
(Sorry Pro's but we didn't have the resource's to make sure we had the added cash to make it a B Tier through and through prior to the event.)

Wes Anslinger is my Assistant Tournament Director and is listed on the Events Page. We are currently working on some Player Pack ideas as well as what the costs of the event will be.
Thank you for your patience.

Please ask any and all questions in the Comments below.
I will be glad to help answer them in a timely manner.


Get STOKED!

Shenango Valley Disc Golf Open 2020 Postponed until 2021

After long thoughts and discussions, We have decided to Postpone the Sheetz presents the 8th Annual SVDGOpen powered by Prodigy until 2021.

With the Covid Closures and our Sponsors just not having the ground to stand on this year. It has made it really tough to raise the added cash as well as the other funds needed to host an event you have come to expect.

After long thoughts and discussions, We have decided to Postpone the Sheetz presents the 8th Annual SVDGOpen powered by Prodigy until 2021.

With the Covid Closures and our Sponsors just not having the ground to stand on this year. It has made it really tough to raise the added cash as well as the other funds needed to host an event you have come to expect.

At this time we are unsure when The PDGA will allow PA to resume sanctioned play. Every great event involves weeks and months of preparation. Unfortunately, with so many uncertain when businesses will open, we cannot guarantee the value of the player packs our players have become accustomed to.

With that said we will be offering FULL Refunds to ALL Players on the List or on the Waitlist as well we are offering Players to Transfer their Registration to The Maynard pt 3.

As a Player you have 2 Options to choose.

1.) Full Refund - Head over to DGScene.com/SVDGO20, find your name on the list, and click "Refund" and we will process your Refund in a Timely Fashion.

2.) Transfer Refund - We are offering players to Transfer their Registration over to The Maynard pt 3 which is a 2 Round C-Tier at the Pines DGC in September. http://DGScene.com/Maynard3
Players may choose to do this by following the link provided. Once Transfer is initiated they will be removed from the SVDGO Reg and Transferred over to The Maynard pt 3 and the remaining Monies from SVDGO Registration will be sent to you. If this is something you would like to do, please follow this link:
https://forms.gle/agT5ieYyove1hqaW7

We do apologize about the inconvenience but our Player Safety and Park Relations are our top concern. We always want to bring you the BEST of what we can and unfortunately this is not the year to do that.

We hope you all the best and thank you again for your Support! We hope to see you at the Maynard part 3!!!!

August 7th WNiP League

Due to the last few hours of intense rain and muddy conditions. We reluctantly will be postponing Wednesday Night in the Pines League.

We will host Week 5 of our PDGA Rated League next week when conditions are a bit drier and safer for players. The muddy conditions can make for bad footing and we don't feel it safe for the players to play.

If you would like to still play, the radar looks to be letting up, but we will not be hosting an Official League tonight.

We apologize for any inconvenience and we hope to see you next week.

Please pass along.

http://discgolfmatchplay.com/player-info-singles/


Dynamic Discs and Latitude 64 are proud to present the 2019 United States Amateur Match Play Championships (USAMPC). At the end of this event, we will be proud to crown a United States Amateur Match Play Champion in Emporia, Kansas. We will be running this event both for singles and doubles. The singles event will take place from March to June and the doubles event will take place from July to September.

Player Info – Singles
NEW for 2019!
Competitors who win their local bracket but do not win their state bracket will have the opportunity to come to Emporia! We will have a stroke play tournament on Thursday, June 20 for all these competitors to qualify for any available empty slots in the national bracket that begins Friday, June 21. For example, if there are 58 state winners, that leaves 6 open slots in our bracket of 64. The top six scores will determine who will make the national bracket. Ties will be played off if necessary.

Also new for 2019, state bracket winners will receive $1,000 in store credit at the Dynamic Discs retail store, instead of the $500 cash provided last year.

In addition to the B-Tier scheduled on Saturday, there will also be a flex start C-Tier scheduled for both Friday and Sunday for competitors not moving through the bracket.

This year, we will offer up to 16 unreleased Latitude 64 Opto Moonshine Keystones per bracket at $10 each for local and state TDs.

Who?
Current PDGA member guidelines – Disc golfers rated 969 or below as of January 1, 2019. All amateur disc golfers can play regardless of their rating (even if it is above 969). New members who do not have a current PDGA rating are also eligible to compete.
Non-current PDGA members – Disc golfers who have never been rated 970 or above.
Non-PDGA members – Disc golfers who are not current PDGA members or are so new to the PDGA that they do not have a rating are eligible to play in the event.

What?
Local USAMPC singles qualifier match play brackets will be held throughout the United States and Canada in April. A list of these events can be found on the UDisc app (coming soon!). Players that meet the qualifications described above can pay $45 to compete in one of these brackets. Please contact the TD to get more information on local details. The Local Qualifying Bracket may be conducted over a few days or over the period of a few weeks. The Local Qualifying Bracket TD will determine the timing of when the brackets need to be played. The $45 entry fee is a one time cost. Players will receive a Dynamic Discs Lucid-X Escape and Latitude 64 Zero Medium Keystone in their player pack. If a player advances to the next levels, there are not additional entry fees. Winners of Local Qualifying Brackets will move on to the State/Province Bracket. Winners of the State/Province Bracket will move on to the Championship Bracket in Emporia, Kansas (June 20-23, 2019).

When?
Local Qualifying Brackets – March/April 2019
State/Province Brackets – May 2019
Championship Bracket in Emporia, Kansas – June 20-23, 2019

Where?
Bracket TDs will establish the locations for the Local Qualifying Brackets matches.
State or Provincial Coordinators (or a designee) will establish a date and location prior to Local Qualifying Bracket matches.
The Championship Bracket will be hosted in Emporia, Kansas.

Why?
Match play is an exciting way to compete as a disc golfer. Match play has grown in popularity and the unique format provides an opportunity for using a different strategy than what disc golfers typically employ playing traditional stroke play. The event also allows amateurs another opportunity to experience tournament disc golf at the highest level.

How?
Look for a bracket near you and sign up to play! Players can sign up for brackets on February 15th! Registration for players will conclude on April 1st. Sign up here! You can now pay through UDisc once you register! You will have 10 minutes to pay for your spot. Until then, your spot will be pending and will be removed after the time frame ends. This will help alleviate any stress of making your payment physically.

First Place – DyeMax Trophy Disc + $100 dynamicdiscs.com credit
Second Place – DyeMax Trophy Junior Disc + $50 dynamicdiscs.com credit

SVDGOpen Change

**Tournament Update**

I am reluctant to announce that we will be going back to a Shotgun Start on Saturday July 15th. May it be over confidence, lack of registered players, or delusions of grandeur LOL.

Players are asked to Check In at the scheduled time. Tournament HQ will be at the Top of the Main Parking Lot. An EZup with the SVDGOpen Banner will be flying.

**Tournament Update**

I am reluctant to announce that we will be going back to a Shotgun Start on Saturday July 15th. May it be over confidence, lack of registered players, or delusions of grandeur LOL.

Players are asked to Check In at the scheduled time. Tournament HQ will be at the Top of the Main Parking Lot. An EZup with the SVDGOpen Banner will be flying.

I do believe Staggered Tee Times would be a better concept with a larger field. I wanted to eliminate the long wait on lunches and try and get players back out onto the field to be able to enjoy their second round while not getting "cold" during the wait.

Staggered Tee Times with the amount of players would only drag out the day longer for some. A shotgun start will allow for a quicker day with the amount of registrants as well as allow the opportunity to keep the registration open longer as well as allow Day Of registrations.

I want to thank you all that have signed up in hopes of the Staggered Tee Times and look forward to trying it maybe next year with a larger field. As a token of my appreciation I am opening up the $5 OFF per registration for the remainder of Registration for each player.

If you did not get a discount at Registration, you will be paid back $5 at Check In on Saturday.

Also due to low numbers, I am opening up for the first time, Cashless Pre Registration for all players as well as Day Of Registration.

This is still going to be an awesome event with a Free Lunch and a Sunday Long Distance Competition for all Divisions sponsored by Sheetz. Borderline Discs will also be sponsoring a Putting Competition before the awards ceremony.

The Zuca Cart just arrived and we will be raffling it off to one lucky player. Each player will receive 2 Tickets for the raffle in their players pack. Player Pack value is $45!!

I always look out for the player and again apologize to those that were looking forward to this innovative tournament style. I am also issuing refunds (minus paypal fees) to all players that are upset with the last minute change.

Thanks Everyone and it looks to be an AWESOME weekend for some Disc Golf!

Schedule on the Main Page has been updated and finalized: http://dgscene.com/SVDGO17

I would like to take a moment and thank all of the folks that were involved and devoted some time to this project.

First I would like to thank Buhl Park for allowing us this opportunity to grow the sport in the valley and take it to the next level. Such a wonderful setting for an awesome course!

Next I would like to thank the Shenango Valley Disc Golf Alliance - SVDGA for supporting my vision and dreams to get things going in the valley. Without you... I would be lost!

I would like to also give a big thanks to the Primary Health Network Charitable Foundation Crew for stepping up to help us with the project. Mark, Ryan, Roy, and Sean are really some amazing folks and proud to say that I got to work beside you all. Thank you for your support!

Now comes the HUGE Thank You's to Regis Stump and Dan Wolfe who volunteered in directing us in this major project. Their concrete skills and knowledge are incomparable and I thank you both for you dedication day in and day out to make the drive up from Beaver County to get the job done. You guys were key into getting this project done and I thank you more than words can express.

I want to give another big shout out to our volunteers that came out day in and day out to get it done! (Listed in no particular order).
Andrew Burk, Chuck G Coristin, Tim Kramer, Tom Roskos, Tom Moeller, Kyle McClain, Luke Shelton, Bill Scully, Brian Harcar, Veronica Harcar, Sebastien and Morrison Harcar, Sam Court, Brian Perry, Dan Weber, Cory Byknish, Mark Fobes, Sean Ruggles, Jonathan Bentley, Wes Anslinger, John Ruggles, Nanette Porterfield-Ruggles, and Jeff "The Machine" McDowell. (I do hope I got everyone)

Without these volunteers and sponsors we would not have been able to make this possible. I am truly without words. A dream come true. I am one lucky guy to know all of you amazing people. I am beyond grateful, I am beyond humbled, I am beyond proud of you all.

Give yourselves a HUGE pat on the back and know that without you we would still be teeing on natural Tees at Buhl Park Disc Golf Course!!!!

Thank You Thank You Thank You!!! See you on the course!!!

Buhl Park Disc Golf Course will be CLOSED from Monday March 27th 2017 until Monday April 3rd 2017 due to the excavation and construction of 54 - 5ft x 12ft concrete tee pads. We do apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

For the past few weeks calibrations and adjustments have been made. We are planning to add an additional 20+ Anchor Locations as well as a 3 Basket Putting Practice Area among other amenities.

The layout has been adjusted slightly with major changes happening to #4 Blue Tee, #5 Blue Tee, #6 Blue Tee, #7 Blue, White, and Red, #8 Red, #9 White/Red as well as #10 and #11.

Holes #10 and #11 have been moved entirely to make for a better layout and more consistent flow. These new holes will bring even more of a challenge than to the previous layout.

#10 is currently Playable to Current #10 Basket. It is not however in the correct position and please be cautious of other players that yet know of the Change happening.

You will notice Orange Boxes around approximate Tee Locations as well as a colored flag for each corner of the pad.

The Course is currently marked and we will be hosting a Sunday Funday Doubles Calibration Round for all of you who would like to help out with some minor adjustments and or suggestions. Come out and be a part of History!!!

This has been a long time coming and I am really proud of our club. Here is to a great beginning to 2017!! Thank you to everyone that has been involved with this project! We are forever grateful!!!
