Welcome and thank you to everyone for signing up for the 3rd Annual Hinson Lake Classic! This is the signature event of the Richmond County Disc Golf Group, and this event has grown tremendously once again entering year 3.

We will be set up between Holes 17 and 18 Saturday morning to provide players packs and to answer all additional questions.

I'm currently awaiting the birth of my first child, so the hope is that I will be able to attend the event at some capacity but thankfully we have a tremendous support staff to help run this event! The Assistant Tournament Director is Jimmy McDonald, and my family and other supporting members of the Richmond County Disc Golf Group will be holding down the fort in my absence! (Fingers crossed I can be there!!)
