New Year's Worst Shot Doubles

– About –

Indy Disc Golf Club, Lawrence Disc Golf Club, and the Hamilton Disc Golf Union are teaming up once again to bring you New Year's Day Worst Shot Doubles at the beautiful Fall Creek disc golf course, to be held Wednesday, January 1st, 2025. This is the second stop of Indy Disc Golf Club’s winter charity series. All proceeds from these events benefit the St. Vincent de Paul foodbank on 30th St. near Washington Park.

Last year, we raised $4,375 for the St. Vincent de Paul food bank. We strongly believe that disc golf is equal parts sport and community, and, with your help this year, we will continue the tradition of being a positive impact within the greater Indianapolis community – over $45K donated to fight food insecurity since 2003!

Big thank you to Eric Hampton and Seth Caldwell for their help organizing this event. Three different local disc golf Clubs coming together for one event? Now that’s holiday spirit.

– Major Details –

All teams will play one 27-hole round of worst shot format doubles. In worst shot format, both players on a team tee and then the worse of the 2 shots is taken (“worse” is decided by the members of the other team on the card). Play continues on the hole until 1 player completes the hole by landing their disc in the basket. Both members of the team do not need to hole out to complete a hole.

– Fees and Payouts –

• AM: $40 per Team – $20 to merch. payouts + $20 to SVdP food bank.

• PRO: $60 per Team – $40 to payouts + $20 to SVdP food bank.

Please note that there will be no trophies or player-pack items for this event.

All Professional player pay outs will be sent using PayPal with the Goods & Services transaction designation, which means PayPal will deduct a % of the transaction amount. Please use or indicate the email address associated with your PayPal account during registration.

All Amateur player merchandise pay outs will be redeemed through Disc Golf Mart using an electronic voucher system. Disc Golf Mart will be on-site with select merchandise, but players may also redeem vouchers at their retail location at 8235 Center Run Dr, Indianapolis, IN 46250 or online. Electronic vouchers are connected to qualifying players' names within DGM's point-of-sale system. Vouchers do not expire.

– Charity Power Ups –

For teams that bought into the Charity Power Up Package, each player receives one Mulligan and one No Throw Again. A player may use a Mulligan after any throw attempt to re-throw from that lie without incurring a penalty stroke. When a player elects to use a Mulligan, the previous throw is considered abandoned and replaced by the resulting lie of the re-throw. A player may use a No Throw Again after any shot attempt from their playing partner. For example, if Player A parks the hole for a birdie on their tee shot, then Player B may call “No Throw Again” so that they do not have to also attempt a throw, which guarantees that the team will be playing from Player A’s lie right next to the basket. A No Throw Again must be called before attempting a shot yourself from the lie. All proceeds from the Charity Power Up Package go to the St. Vincent de Paul food bank.

– Hot Food –

Tourney HQ will be the main shelter at Fall Creek. Water will be available to players all day at Tourney HQ. Lawrence Disc Golf Club is cooking up some hot food for everybody after the round: BBQ pulled pork, beef franks, and melty nacho cheese. A lunch donation of $10 will go directly back into the Fall Creek disc golf course, which, as we all know, is a heavily wooded beast to keep maintained. Last year we raised $300 for the course – let’s do it again!

Indianapolis Disc Golf Club is responsible for all refunds/cancellations.
