Please join us on October 16th for Throwing out of the Darkness: A Benefit for SPARC. This will be a sanctioned C-Tier tournament playing two 18-hole rounds at River's Edge Disc Golf Course in Rushville, Indiana. Registration is currently capped at 72 players, but additional temp holes may be added if needed. The event is a new entrant to the Southern Indiana Fall Fundraiser Series (SIFFS) and is being presented by the Saucer Tossers Disc Golf Club. Amateurs will receive a players pack and will compete for trophies only. Ams player pack consists of a Discraft custom event stamped disc, mini Buzzz, and keychain bottle opener. This event has been approved under the PDGA Competition Endowment Program, so the typical $10 fee for non-PDGA members has been waived.
$5 Ace Pot (if no aces are hit, a throw off will determine the winner)
$5 50/50 CTP (one per division, 50% goes to winner, 50% goes to SPARC)

I've also got bad knees and had concerns but I played another course in Columbus that has them on all 18 and never had an instance where I even flirted with getting my foot caught and never had to even think about it.
I actually twisted my knee in one of the slotted pads at mooresville
Hi Jason, I'm sorry to hear you're concerned with the new pad. Only hole 1 will use one of these and the ground surrounding the pad is uneven and was disturbed during installation of the new pad. I believe this would be a less safe alternative, so unfortunately that won't be an option.
Thank you
