NADGT Premier at Haute Goat - Presented by Innova and Grip6

Haute Goat is proud to be hosting one of the Canadian NADGT stops again this summer. This being our third year hosting, we are upgrading this to an NADGT Premier Event. Last year some Haute Goat players went to the NADGT Championships in Austin and had a great time. The event is also being upgraded from a C-tier to a PDGA B-tier event.

Haute Goat is a big course and as such we will play this event as a two-day tee time event; you'll play one round per day within your division. Two competitive rounds in one day at Haute Goat can get a bit exhausting.

Last year we had 143 players compete. Since we are doing a final 9 on the second day for the MA1/FA1 division we are going to limit this to 96 players. At ten minute intervals we can tee off the entire field easily in four - five hours...maybe 9am to 2pm give or take.

Update:
The final nine will play as:
1 - Gold to White
2 - White to Blue
3 - Gold to White
4 - White to White
5 - Blue to Blue
6 - Blue to Blue
7 - Gold to Blue
8 - Gold to Blue
9 - White to Blue
Had to change as the Final MA1 - Four will be following the final card...no room to skip holes and jump in between other groups.

Check out the full National Amateur Disc Golf Tour story at nadgt.com. Also details about what pros can play and just how much fun it is.

We will be offering lots of divisions this year that correspond with those supported by the NADGT at their National Championships. We will put division caps in place for the first seven days of registration, after that we may lift them if demand in other divisions warrants a change.

Layout assignments as of June 14, likely won't change.
See photos for maps.

MA1 - FA1 - Blue Saturday - White Sunday
MA2 - Blue Saturday - White Sunday
FA2 - White both days.
MA3 - FA3 - White Both days

FA 40 - FA 50 - White both days.

This will be a ‘NADGT Trophy-Pin’ only event for the divisional winners with most value going into your player packs that include swag from NADGT and Innova Discs. These NADGT events are also supported by Grip6, check them out at: https://grip6.com/ - some of you won belts last year. Grip6 is supporting this event again this year. Along with the Premier status of this event the NADGT is providing us with a larger player pack that includes a disc from Innova, socks from Grip 6, which are real nice, I have some, and some other swag...value in excess of $60 Canadian. We will also have on course prizes...we usually do them at a ratio of one for every eight players.

Layout assignments are to be confirmed. We may include some of the Gold layout holes for the MA1 and FA1 divisions. Stay tuned.

Top Finishers get an invitation to two events: the NADGT Tour Finale in February at Jacksonville and the NADGT National Championships in Austin this November!
We will also have some on-course prizes and offer an Ace Pot. Ace Pots at Haute Goat carry over from event to event...last year we gave one away worth over $800.
