About this tournament

Will somebody please think of the children?!

Listen up Tunnel Runners, this is your chance to give back to the community!

North Star Elementary is just around the corner from our beloved Roots Disc Golf Course, and they could use our help. They are in the process of implementing a new recess program through Playworks, and it ain't cheap! The administration and faculty at North Star has decided this needs to happen because their students' recesses look a little bit different from what you and I remember as kids.

Back when I was in elementary school, I played tether-ball, basketball, four square, tag, and I even fought my imaginary enemies like a freaking ninja! I'm certain you all had similar experiences. Recess was the best part of the day because it was exciting and we could run around like... I dunno... kids!

Nowadays, kids are becoming more and more sedentary and recess has become a time for kids to shamble around the playground in small groups, playing on their cellphones and gossiping. They aren't running and laughing nearly as much as we did when we were little, and it's effecting them! This type of activity (or lack thereof) contributes to decreased engagement in the classroom, increased bullying, and is generally lame.

These kids are the future, dang it! They deserve to have better resources to help them learn how to be good humans, and that's where Playworks comes in. With the new program comes a coaching staff who will work with the kids at recess time to keep them engaged in a multitude of activities. They'll play sports and games, they'll interact with each other, and they might just learn how to get along better. Kids who play well, learn well, and educated kids become productive adults.

And you know what productive adults do? They DISC GOLF! So lets get out there and chuck some plastic and raise some money for these little scamps so they can have awesome lives. Who's with me?!

This will be a single round, unsanctioned event at Roots Disc Golf Course.

We'll be adding a bunch of holes to the course to make it feel more like a birdie bash. More info on that as it develops.

There will be NO PAYOUTS! First place in each division will receive a (very cool) trophy to remember how well they played on the day they saved recess for the kids.

All proceeds will go directly to North Star Elementary to help pay for the Playworks program and to purchase ancillary equipment needed to make things work.

Registration is a menial $15

Mulligans Available for Purchase!
