Friday Tee Times have been posted on the PDGA site. Please enjoy the holiday and we'll see you on Friday.

For those that are asking about spotters I have e-mailed those that have reached out to John or myself. However, if you still want to spot we are more than welcome to have you!! Please check in at the white tent behind hole 1 on the Toboggan. We are capping the spotters to 20, but don't let that turn you away!

Priority will be given to those that can work a full day, or until the lead card finishes your hole. Lunch will be provided to those that work 6+ hours, a shirt (to everyone), and a disc an hour. Those spending all day with us get rewarded from picking for the special stash.

Following the Fan Vote on Tuesday night, the tee times will be posted soon after.

I know this is in the About section but: It does cost $10 for a daily vehicle pass to enter the park. You can get an annual for $35 if you plan on being here throughout the week. You can also purchase them online: https://www.metroparks.com/shop/

Just in case anyone wants to look back on an old GLO tournament held in 1992 at Firefighters Park in Troy, Michigan.
The course looked a lot different back then.

Don’t forget to check yourselves for ticks. Just found one on me.

Kenneth Cross III    July 5, 2019 at 2:36am

Do we just park at Kensington Metropark, 4570 Huron River Pkwy, Milford, MI, USA or is parking different for the toboggan course?

Matt Provot    July 2, 2019 at 1:05pm

In response to an earlier comment about volunteering/spotting said to report to the big white tent. Does this still hold true? I can be there all day Saturday and Sunday.

Dustin Turner    July 1, 2019 at 4:16am

Would love to spot on day one, will be free all day, am playing in AM so will not be available Saturday and Sunday, but am local, and am super interested

Steve Ponce    July 1, 2019 at 12:53am

Will Discraft have discs be for sale any of the days?

Robert Duff    June 30, 2019 at 1:06pm

Can you add me in the last spot?
