Missouri Eagle and Elephant & Castle Fine Arms Present: The 13th Annual Jared Hilton Memorial - Driven by Innova Players’ Meeting

Welcome to the 13th Annual Jared Hilton Memorial!

As always, we’d like to start off by thanking our sponsors:

How great is it that we have not one but two title sponsors?!?!?! Thanks so much to Missouri Eagle & Elephant & Castle Fine Arms (Brad Hilton and Doug Bowen I speak for all when I say we appreciate you both)

To our large list of local sponsors, thanks for the home town support:

Check out the signs for all of the sponsors above on the course. I want to thank Brandon Shields for graphic design and Luke at SoundEnvision for making them happen!

The Jared Hilton Memorial is a very special tournament to many players. Most of these players have a great relationship with one of the most incredible guys in our area, Brad Hilton. I am honored to be called friend by Brad! Brad tries to support everything in the local areas and beyond. His friendships are plentiful and if you know him you know why. To be able to join in this event that keeps his son Jared’s memory alive is something I know Brad cherishes. We hope that when you play the “Big Hill 16 Hole”, you will take a quick moment of silence to think about Brad and his family. We appreciate all of you who continue to support this event, and am confident if this is your first time, you’ll want to come back! Best of luck to you all!

The 6th Annual Dragon Ridge Open Recap

For the 6th year in a row, the Dragon Ridge Open has filled up. This course, designed by Gary Braman, is as Beautiful as it is Challenging! I have met very few people who dislike this course and many I talk with say it’s in their top five. The unique terrain, basket placements, and beauty make it one of the best venues on the tour!

I would like to thank the City of Camdenton and Park Director Travis Brock for their continued dedication and support of this event. They continue to fund this event and are always helpful when things are needed. Another big shout out to the volunteers that are instrumental in making this course look good, baskets moved, water put out, and much more: Gary Braman (nice new signs!), River Flagg, Triston Stark, JC Vest, and Ben Viles. The course looked better than ever. I speak for all when I say we appreciate your efforts!

I’m confident in saying that we had the BEST weather ever for this event. The 1st round actually started off cool and finished off nearly perfect. The second round high temperature reached the low 80’s which was perfect for golf. There was little to no wind. The weather/Mother Nature could not be used as an excuse this year.

At the end of the event we had a raffle and did a Ring of Fire for an Innova Traveler basket. Alexis Kerman won the Ring of Fire that went well with her FPO win. Justin Gray took home the Innova Discatcher Sport basket (the big ticket item) in the Raffle. It was neat being able to do a Ring of Fire again thanks to no Covid Protocol.

There were 9 divisions represented this year.

Box Scores & Highlights:

MA3 Division: despite a slow start shooting 5 off the 1st round leader (Justin Crawford), Mason Myers shot a great 2nd round to finish on top with a 117. Justin finished 2nd only one stroke off. Austin McBee finished 3rd at 121.

MA2 Division: Joshua Horne shot the hot round 57. This was enough to win shooting a 112 total holding off Matt Williams’ 114 and Scott Hayden’s 118.

MA50+ Division: Thad Nelson tied the hot round with Tom Butler and cruised to the win shooting a total of 117. Darrin Dodson and Brad Hilton tied for 2nd at 122.

FA40+ Division. Mary Abbott took home the win shooting 132 and Tina Gilltrap took 2nd with a 145.

MA40+ Division: Dylan Gilltrap (110 score) was able to hold off Michael Cory (111 score) by only a stick. Todd Bushatz shot a 113 that was good enough for 3rd.

FA2 Division: There were 2 ladies who had quite a battle. Kassidy Dalton was able to come back from a 2 stroke deficit to win by 1 shooting a 138. Merideth Bushatz finished 2nd with a very strong showing (139).

MA1 Division: Alex Raven, Josh Jarvis, and Brandon Luebberring had quite the rollercoaster ride. Their round one scores ranged from 54-58, but all ended up in a dead 3 way tie at 113. Josh bowed out first on hole 1, and it was Brandon who finished the victor in the playoff.

FPO Division: Alexis Kerman (part of Mizzou’s Collegiate Championship Team) pulled off the win shooting a 125. Brandy Monnahan of Lebanon finished with a 131 2nd place. Esmeralda Dodson, in her first Open tourney, finished 3rd only 1 off 2nd with a 132. Mariah Flagg, in her first tourney back in a few years shot a 140.

MPO Division: This was quite a battle at the top! In the first round, Dallas Whittle and David Savage shot the hot rounds with a pair of 50’s Local hero River Flagg was only one off that pace. In round two River caught Savage to tie at 102. In the play off River had a high left putt from 25’ that didn’t stick. Savage took the “W” with a 12 foot park job and an easy tap in. Dallas only missed the play off by one.

Congratulations to all you above and to all that cashed. Thanks again for playing in this fun event. We hope to see you all in Lebanon for the 13th Annual Jared Hilton Memorial on June 10th.

Players’ Meeting

Welcome to the 11th North Ark Open! I have to start by giving a huge shout out to Matt Bell, Director of Explore Harrison.

Disc'n for Cheetahs VIII Recap

The Disc’n for Cheetahs VIII is in the books. The field was maxed out at 100 players. We were gifted nearly perfect weather and it was welcomed by everyone. The course was well groomed and prepped by many helping hands from friends and the zoo staff. I really can’t think of much that would have made the event any better.

Players gathered early to take in some practice as the sun slowly rose over the beautiful purple bloomed Redbud trees that are scattered throughout the course. Hole 2 and 17 of the course have an amazing look over the heart of the course. The view almost begs for a picture to be taken (there is one shown below). Many compliments were made about how this course has improved each years. A big thanks for all of you who have chosen to help out and make it happen.

Before the first round, we were able to have a short players meeting. During the meeting I was able to recognize former park director Kate Plank who I asked to be there. Kate was the first park official that helped me early on when I started running events at Oak Grove. She was always encouraging, supportive, and helped disc golf grow in Springfield in any way she could. I’ve always called her “Kate the Great” a name she definitely earned.

When the horn blew to start round 1, it was a little brisk but perfectly calm. After a few holes many of us were shedding layers as it began to warm up. The Cheetahs course has a great mix of holes offering: 2 pond holes, 2 creek holes, 2 hanging baskets, 3 holes with bamboo that comes into play, and a good bit of elevation and wooded holes. You also never know what animals you are going to hear, and we all heard several animals throughout the day.

After the 1st round was finished, the zoo staff offered a hot dog, brat, or hamburger meal. The funds generated by this went to the Zoo. There were raffle tickets sold at this time as well. Play resumed at 2:00. The temperature was 75+ and there was only a hint of wind that picked up toward the middle part of the round. I heard “The weather is perfect!” many times. We were definitely blessed!

We would again like to thank all the Zoo Staff for letting us use their land and for helping us make the course look and play so well. To all our sponsors both tournament and tour, we appreciate you all so much and recognize without you we couldn’t do what we do! To all the players who came out to compete and support DGM, the Zoo, and the Cheetah Habitat in Kenya, we say thank you and hope to see you at another event soon.

Bleacher Report:
Michael Luster won the basket donated by Steve Hograffee!

Congrats Ross Steketee on taking that $500+ ace pot ($160 was rolled over from the Lucky 13)!

We had one Junior Garrett Samek who shot 140

1st place Calvin Hensley shot -7 (A “Move Up” shout out is in order here!) Great shooting!
2nd place Jacob Woolston -2
3rd place Quinten Volz -1

The Intermediate division had 13 players with four shooting under par:
1st place Moe Smith -6

3rd place Darrin Dodson +7

Julie Crouch was the only 40+ female player. She shot a +10

Brothers Toby and Charles Rector battled into a play of shooting a pair of -7’s. Toby edged out his bro to take 1st. Mark Vanderhoef shot +3 to take 3rd.

Esmeralda Dodson was our only female in the advanced division and also the only female to shoot under par in the field. She shot -1! Impressive young lady!

There were 8 players in The Advanced division. Our top two players should really be thinking of moving up! There scores were good enough to finish in the top 5 in open. 1st place Seth Lindeman blistered a -15 (tying the 2nd place open score). Dylan Clinkenbeard shot a -11 (his score would have been good enough for solo 5th in Open). You guys really crushed it! Come on boys Move Up!! 3rd place with a -1 and back from his service in Korea, was Jonathan Chambless. Welcome back Jonathan and thank you for your service!

Mary Abbott was our only Open female player. She shot a +4.

There were 19 players in the Open Division. I was asked what I thought would take the open division a few days before the event. I said a pair of -9’s would likely take it. Allen Heston did exactly that shooting -18. Incredible shooting Allen and congratulations on your 1st Open B tier win! 2nd place shooting -15 was Bradley Brown. Bradley tied Allen the first round, it couldn’t quite keep up with Allen in round 2. Still impressive Bradley. There was a tie for 3rd place between Alec Knopf and Dustin Banks shooting -14. To all of you guys, Great Job!

The 15th Annual Lebanon Ice Bowl Full Recap

125 Players played the 15th Annual Lebanon Ice Bowl. All were treated to the best weather ever for a Lebanon Ice Bowl! Almost no wind to speak of, lots of sunshine and blue skies, and high temperatures in the mid to upper 50’s were welcomed by everyone! There were some swampy places from the rain we had a few days prior and the water added a “pond” on hole 1 on the Winfrey course, but these were minor inconveniences. The courses were very well groomed except for some evergreens that were cut and will be burned off soon. The Wyota Village Chain Banger Club did an incredible job raking and blowing out leaves from the fairways through the woods! This was much appreciated and I speak for everyone when I say a big thanks to all of you.

I definitely want to take this time to give a big “thank you” to all of these people for putting in a lot of time and effort into making this event happen: Brad Hilton, Brandy Monnahan, Dan Newlin, Pamela Collins, Rollin Clamme, Ryan Shockley, Chris Ryan, Steven Wilson, and Jerry McGinnis. Everyone mentioned helped with food, course maintenance, sponsor gathering or a combination of all. If you get a chance give them a shout of thanks when you see them. I also want to thank our sponsors again: Lebanon Parks & Rec, Patriots Gold & Silver (Jeff Ford), New Key Realty, Keen Motors LLC, Denny Rhoads Drywall, and Dan Newlin. It’s definitely easier when you have local support!

Both courses were used and we split the fields between the JHM course and Winfrey. The Recreation division had 30 players and Intermediate had 35. These two divisions made one group with all other division making up the second group. Rec & Int started on Winfrey purse in the morning, while the others played the Jared Hilton course before switching at lunch. A Chile and Hot Dog lunch was served courtesy of the folks mentioned earlier.

During play there were 2 Aces. Chris Neff (hole 8 JHM) and Cody Williams (hole 16 JHM “the mound hole”). Not only did they get to split the $360 Ace Pot, they also received a $100 each from Dan Newlin who agreed to donate $100 to each player for their aces, and also gave $100 to the charity! Well played guys your great drives put $200 more toward L-Life! Super cool idea Dan, thanks a bunch!

$2,606 was raised this year with approximately 150-200 lbs of food. This will all be distributed to L-Life Food Pantry very soon. Thanks to everyone for your efforts in making a difference in helping feed the hungry in the Lebanon area. Feeding the hungry was the goal Rick Rothstein had when he began the Ice Bowl many years ago. You all rocked this year’s 15th Annnuka Lebanon Ice Bow! Thank you so much!!

Worth noting, Bryan Pitman won the Monkey Trap in the raffle! No excuses for poor putting now! Congratulations.

There were 6 Doubles Teams on Friday:
1st Place: Triston & Drake
2nd Place Tie: Andrew & Smith and Austin & James

There were 11 Divisions this year.
For full results please visit https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/66505

The Rec Division was super close with only one stroke separated 1st and a 3 way tie for 2nd. Dustin Guinn-Ingram’s 111 held off Nick Sheppard, Corey Chaney, and Greazy Dyes Chase Luster 112 finishes.

You wouldn’t think it could get much closer than the Rec fields finish, but the Int division was even closer. There was a 4 way tie for first between: Christian Polivich, Brendon Rost, Timothy Taylor, and Peyton Wallace. All of them shot 103’s. Worth noting, Drake Ford was only one back with his 104. Christian won in a play off.

The MA60+ was taken down by Jeff City’s Stan Balke. Stan 2nd round was where he pulled away from Mike McBee and John Parsons. Stan won by 4 shooting a 105.

No stranger to the winners circle, Darrin Dodson won the MA50+ division by 5 over Jeff Ford and by 7 over Clint Klupka.

Marry Abbott blistered a 57 first round rolling to a convincing win shooting a total of 119. Tina Gilltrap finished 2nd shooting a 137, and Korie Klupka finished 3rd with a 141.

It was Chris Neff shot a total score of 105 cruising to an easy win shooting a 51 in his 2nd round adding 9 strokes to his 1 stroke 1st round lead over Jeremy Surratt.

Advanced winner Ethan Keuhn shot a 49 first round that gave him a significant lead as he cruised to his final score 101 win. The battle for 2nd was taken by Tristan Stark who’s 107 bested Jacob Fulhorst by a stick.

MP50+ was won by local hero Dan Newlin who shot a -6 103. His 49 first round gave him the early lead by over Rick Kapalko (2nd Pl) Doug Wiegand (3rd Pl).

The MP40+ was dominated by Dasun Keylor’s -13 performance. His drives were solid and his putting was fire. There was however a battle for 2nd as I had to shoot a 47 to over come my 3 stroke deficit that Justin Mount and Christopher Douglas had stacked on me. They finished tied for 3rd.

FA1 was taken by local Brandy Monnahan’s. Her 116 total bested Millie Cowgill 8 strokes. Brandy mentioned that Millie had a few tough breaks especially a low putt that hit and rolled OB. Tough break but these two will battle again soon I’m sure.

Brock Rohler shot a pair of 45’s finishing at -19 for the tourney. 2nd place Dustin Banks, who shot a very respectable -16 was able to hold off Alexander Lemley and Cory Anderson who
Finished in a tie for 3rd with a pair of -14’s.

Congratulations to all the rest who cashed. I hope to see you in a few weeks at the 15th Annual Lucky 13 in Republic, Missouri. Until then many aces and birdies!

This year Dan Newlin has an Ace Challenge for everyone. How it works is simple: if any player hits an Ace, Dan will donate $100 to the charity and $100 to the player who hits the Ace. You do not have to be in the tournament Ace Pot to win Dan‘s Ace Challenge. There will be a $5 Ace Pot going on as well, so don’t forget to sign up for it during check in.
�Rules for the course are listed below. Unbranded CTP is hole 17 at Jared Hilton. Trilogy-only CTP is hole 14 at Winfrey. MVP-only CTP is hole 4 at Winfrey. Prodigy-only CTP is hole 5 at Jared Hilton.

Park bathrooms are closed, but there are porta potties on the courses. If there is any question about any throws or lies, try to make a group decision. If no decision can be made, play a provisional. When possible, consult with the course TD to determine the correct answer.

Maps and Rule & OB sheets can be seen on my FaceBook pages: Russel Burns, both Disc Golf Monkey pages, and the Ozarks Flying Disc Golf page.

After the tournament, amateur players receiving a payout will need to form three lines, as six people will be allowed in the trailer at any one time.

The 2nd Round is when the 5K/10K Challenge is in effect. We chose the second round in hopes it has warmed up a little. If you choose to throw any disc from the Trilogy line up: Dynamic Discs, Latitude 64, or Westside and hit the Ace on Hole 20 (the approved and designated challenge hole) you will win $10,000. If you choose to throw any other brand of disc and Ace, it will be worth $5,000. Make sure you state your name, the disc you are throwing, and show it to the camera man. Also, make sure the camera is rolling! BEST OF LUCK TO ALL!!
