Thanks to the support of Dirty Birdie Disc Golf Company, Innova discs, and local disc golfers we are bringing back The Disc Golf Dojo's first ever Arkansas tournament to West Fork! This will be a PDGA sanctioned B-Tier with a minimum of $750 added to the pro purse and huge player packs for ams! All players will play 2 rounds of 18 holes on Saturday, March 9th.

It has taken the support of many to make this event possible. In addition to our sponsors I want to thank a few people. Chad Harrison is the parks director in West Fork. He always has Carter Park in excellent condition and has helped coordinate the use of the school property again this year. Coach Lance Tucker has also been integral in coordinating the use of the Tiger course. He and the West Fork Tiger baseball team will help set up and tear down of the course for us. Matt Loyd with Dynamic Discs Northwest Arkansas has offered his baskets to use on the temp course and is ever supportive of all things disc golf in NWA. If you see any of these fine gentlemen please thank them for supporting local disc golf.

Courses
This event will be played on 2 courses in West Fork Arkansas. The tight and technical Carter Park and the West Fork Tiger Temporary course located at the West Fork schools.

Carter Park
Carter will test your gap hitting and scramble game. Birdies abound to those who hit the fairways but bogeys loom for those who don’t.

West Fork Tiger Temp Course
The Tiger Course has been designed with manageable distances, unique elevations on fairways and greens, and lots of OB to navigate. The scoring separation will be large at the Tiger course with many risk/reward opportunities.

We will put out a short video of the Tiger Course as we get closer to the event date. The layout will be mostly the same as it has been in the past. An overhead course map can be found in the photos section of Disc Golf Scene.

The course will be set up for the event and day following only. This is school property so availability for practice will be limited. Under no circumstance should disc golfers be on school property during school hours! Event staff will communicate with registered players to when it is appropriate to visit the school to check out the course.
