PLEASE READ:

The Toboggan Course will be playable on Wednesday, May 27, 2015
Please do not go to the course on Tuesday, May 26, 2015 as we will be working on the course preparing it for the events. Thank you!

Also, Note*: for those playing at Kensington,
Exit 155A, Milford Road is under construction.
Please use Exit 153 as an alternate path to enter the park.

The A Tier Pro portion of this event will be played on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (May 29 - 31) on the famed Toboggan Course at Kensington Metropark. The A Tier Amateur portion of this event will be played on Saturday and Sunday (May 30-31 ) at Hudson Mills. The Pros will play 1 round each day at the Toboggan using scheduled Tee Times. The A Tier at Hudson Mills will play 36 holes on Saturday and 18 holes on Sunday.

The 2015 DGLO is a United States Amateur Disc Golf Championship qualifier. Unfortunately, it does not include the traditional 20% for an A Tier for the AM1 Division. Only the top 4 places qualify from the AM1 Division so good luck with that!

The Great Lakes Open has 6 Berths that will be awarded to the Michigan Disc Golf Championships held annually in Ludington, Michigan on Labor Day weekend. This event has been the Worlds Largest B Tier the past few years and once again promises to be a blowout. Berths per division will be announced soon. Come get some!

Nothing yet.

Ian Duncan April 28, 2015 at 3:06pm

Any idea when? Two weeks ago you posted that you were closer.

Chris Leo April 28, 2015 at 4:14pm

We are but nothing official yet.

John Minicuci April 29, 2015 at 4:39pm

My apologies. Discraft just came back from Bowling Green and need a week to catch up. I am working on getting word asap. Last year the players packs were announced on May 13. I am trying to get them announced earlier this year.

Brian Kidwell April 30, 2015 at 12:18pm

Thank you for the updates!

Mark Stephens May 8, 2015 at 1:18pm

There should be annoucements soon (within the week) on the player pack.

Al T. Dread April 19, 2015 at 10:52pm

when will the toboggan course be installed , so a GMO can a get a practice round in
and not an NT this year?

Chris Leo April 19, 2015 at 3:47pm

it will be installed in the proper time line per the PDGA rules.

John Minicuci April 29, 2015 at 4:40pm

It was not an NT last year either. I do not think it will be an NT anytime soon. The course is planned on going in just a couple of days before the DGLO.

Mike Stump - OldStump April 13, 2015 at 1:17am

Fred Vocino April 12, 2015 at 7:31pm

When I see that no spot has been given for senior grand masters I invite myself by declaring my intent to play MS1 if enough wi

Fred Vocino April 12, 2015 at 7:36pm

will join me. Let's hope others will see this and notice when we register. Otherwise I'm used to playing with the 50 plus kids. Berth chances are infrequent for us, though.

John Minicuci April 29, 2015 at 4:43pm

C'mon OldStump. You know I love you old guys. Get enough for a division and we can make it happen. Wait a minute! I am one of you old guys :-)

Neil Duffey March 17, 2015 at 7:51pm

That was me. We camped at a campground but I drove it to the tournament the last day because we checked out.

Neil Duffey March 23, 2015 at 11:16pm

sothey didn't let you park at the tournament over night? if not, then ill leave it home and get the room again. thanks jared

Jared Dow March 24, 2015 at 8:32am

We didn't try, I assume they wouldn't let you, but I have no idea.

John Minicuci April 12, 2015 at 4:23pm

They will not allow you Neil, sorry. The park police drive around before the gates are closed for the night and escort those who remain out.

Neil Duffey April 12, 2015 at 5:09pm

thanks john. ill most likely get a hotel then.

Jacob Yates March 17, 2015 at 4:40am

We are getting closer ...

Joel Wesseling February 23, 2015 at 10:38pm

If we can get enough to host the Division, then yes, bring it on.

Fred Vocino March 4, 2015 at 7:28pm

I'm going to vote for this tournament in a poll that is about to happen on the "Michigan Masters and More" club page.

John Minicuci April 29, 2015 at 4:42pm

Any results from the poll Fred?

Fred Vocino April 29, 2015 at 10:32pm

Our friend Michael Wildner did us a favor with a survey-monkey. The url for results follows. While the DGLO shows well, I did not see that enough MS1 s intended to play it. I will get to the registration soon and make some chatter for 60+ interests. < https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-XFZTW557/ >
