The Motor City Chain Gang is proud to present the 6th Annual Michigan Senior Olympics Disc Golf Tournament.
This year the Senior Olympics Disc Golf Tournament will once again be held at Starr-Jaycee Park in Royal Oak, Michigan on August 23, 2020.

Starr-Jaycee Park is on the south side of 13 Mile Road, just east of Crooks:
Starr Jaycee Park, 1321 W 13 Mile Rd, Royal Oak, MI 48073
42.518274,-83.158619

We would love to see more younger people come out and provide support for the Seniors who are competing for Medals. We could use Caddy's and photographers. We would also love to see someone who is willing to host a clinic before the event to give the players who have never or rarely play the game some tips and techniques. If you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible.

Hey John, thanks for the update. Just curious what makes this course more COVID-accomodating?

John Minicuci August 17, 2020 at 4:02pm

The Senior Olympics have their COVID protocol, I provided them the PDGA protocol. Between the two, Royal Oak wanted to know what we had planned before giving us the green light to host the event in Royal Oak. It is not so much that Starr-Jaycee is more COVID accommodating as much as they are allowin ... more

Makes perfect sense. Thanks Champ!

Thanks for all your effort, John. Even the "walker and wheelchair" set needs a good TD. Really appreciate what you do for us.

Nancy, you're so welcome. It meant a lot to me being able to be there. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the extra prizes. It truly was a joy to meet you & hope we get that opportunity for a drink/descent chat. Didn't know you were an Ultimate player cool. My wife, Betty, got a kick out of it ... more

John, just to clarify. the MSO posting says 18 hole round at 9:00 and your description says 2 rounds of 18 holes. Is it 1 round or 2 rounds? What time do we expect to finish? Thanks, Dean

Hi Dean, thank you for the post and message. I have adjusted the About section. We are only playing 1 round of 18 holes. Some divisions may opt to only ply 9 holes. That is fine too!

Went from 3 to 5 registrants this week! Momentum!

Is this tournament a PDGA sanctioned event?

John Minicuci June 10, 2020 at 5:54pm

It is not, sorry. It is a leg of the Michigan Seniors Olympics with real (fake, lol) gold, silver, and bronze medals per division.

Joe Levell May 19, 2020 at 12:22am

All considering event is not cancelled!!

Joe, we hope you can attend even if for a few minutes.

Joe Levell August 21, 2020 at 7:35pm

John, I plan on definitely making an appearance.

Joe Levell May 19, 2020 at 12:18am

I will also have an item(s) to raffle for anyone under 50 yrs old who attends in any fashion from start to end. (So if you're the only one -- you win).
