About this tournament
Online registration is open! Our plan is to start league on Tuesday, March 30 with Open House Party. Currently this will be held at the course. Time tbd. This is when old and new players come to pay the fee if haven’t already, pick up their players pack, learn the rules and details for the season, and enjoy everyone’s company for the evening. We are unable to do this safely at a restaurant or bar as of yet. Please understand this is a very fluid situation and we are still in process of making sure league is set up in a way that follows guidelines and is socially responsible. 2021 will be very similar in structure to previous years possibly with a few changes here and there and we will keep you updated on Facebook and DGS as decisions are made.
