Elephant & Castles 15th Annual DGM Finale - Featuring the 7th Annual Veterans Fundraiser Recap

This past Saturday there was a lot of golf happening in the area. That caused a very light turn out for this years Finale. Despite the small turnout, we had a great time playing the two short courses at McClelland, Chiltzer & McWoods.

The weather was absolutely perfect highs topping out in the low 60’s and no wind to speak of. We started the day playing Chiltzer first, which is the more open of the two courses. It took less than 2 hours to finish. The 2nd round we played McWoods which the fairways were definitely much tighter than Chiltzer. We finished that round in under two hours as well, wrapping up one of the fastest tournaments ever.

After the second round we did three drawings. The first was for the year long manufacturer CTP challenge sponsored by Prodigy. Jackson Bekemeier won the Prodigy basket. The second drawing was for the Dynamic Discs/Trilogy CTP challenge. James Martin won the DD basket. Both players have been notified. The last was the raffle that raised money for the Heartland Canines for Veterans (HCV). We were very thankful to raise nearly $900, despite the small field. On behalf of the HCV, James Childers, and Jimmi Burgess, thank you for the huge effort in helping Vets!

You can find the full results here: https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/75125

A big shout out to all the 1st place champions:
Micah Noble - MPO
Mary Abbott - FPO
Frank Hebert - MA1
Michael Cory - MA40
Brad Hilton - MP50
James Childers - MA3

Thank you to Kenny Hunt for doing an incredible job on the wooden trophy minis! Everyone who earned one loved them!

I would like to thank Doug Bowen, Elephant & Castle owner, for being out title sponsor.
A big shout out to our tournament sponsors as well: Crawford County Mental Health Center, Alice CBD, and JDGC.
As always a big thank you to our many tour sponsors that anchor the tour each year: Elephant & Castle Fine Arms, Patriots Gold & Silver, Dynamic Discs, Innova Champion Discs, Fossa Disc Golf, Prodigy Discs, Creator Designs, MVP/Axiom Discs, Millennium Golf Discs, Discmania, 8Up, Greazy Dyes, Discs Unlimited, Swing Right Golf, Intuitive Body Works & Massage and Sticky Dyes.
Without our sponsors we just couldn’t do what we do! Thank you all so much!

We have two events coming up in two weekends:

On Saturday the 18th - The Encore presented by Greazy Dyes - This will be at the new Tom Wolfe Memorial course in Monett, MO.

You will have one last chance at qualifying to win the Dynamic Disc and Prodigy CTP’s. These two baskets will be drawn for at the end of the event (you do not have to be present to win). The other two baskets (MVP & Innova) will be given away at our Encore on the 18th in Monnett, MO. Good Luck!

The Wrap Up for the Elephant & Castle’s 17th Annual Dale Roberts Memorial

This Saturday 100 payers registered for the Dale Roberts Memorial. It was great to see the continued support of this event as we continue to remember Dale Roberts, former employee of the Nixa Center and the man who spearheaded the coarse at McCulley Park. Dale was an awesome working man, and loved working at the center where he was always involved in many fun activities. He loved working with kids and volunteered often including once going to the Good Samaritan Boys Ranch (where I worked back then), and discussed his job with the students. Seeing him interact with the kids made it easy to see how much he loved being around and helping the youth in our area. We ran several disc golf events together including successful leagues, multiple Ice Bowls in Nixa, one Ice Bowl in Houston, MO, and one Hooters Challenge in Nixa as well. I never saw him do anything half way. He was always committed to what ever he tried and was always all in! I miss my friend, and am honored to continue to keep his memory alive. On behalf of Amy Roberts and Butch & Patsy Roberts and Dale’s entire family, Thank You all for making this another special Remembrance Day!

A big thanks again to Doug Bowen, owner of Elephant & Castle Fine Arms for being the title sponsor. I’d like to thank Amy Roberts for the pizza from Godfather’s for lunch. A huge shout out to Captain Jonathan Chambless and Kenny Hunt for helping set up the canopies, water, and signs. We want to thank Matt Crause and his grounds keepers for making the course look great with freshly cut grass.

To our tour sponsors, you all rock and we appreciate all that you continue to do for us: Elephant & Castle Fine Arms, Patriots Gold & Silver, Dynamic Discs, Innova Champion Discs, Fossa Disc Golf, Prodigy Discs, Creator Designs, Todd Exteriors, LLC, MVP/Axiom Discs, Millennium Golf Discs, Discmania, 8Up, Greazy Dyes, Discs Unlimited, Swing Right Golf, Intuitive Body Works & Massage and Sticky Dyes.

The day started off absolutely gorgeous. Cooler
Temperatures were welcomed in the first round that started at 9:00 a.m. There was no wind, and the players finished around noon. The second round started close to 1:00. During the second round, the temperatures soared to nearly 90, with an ever so slight wind. It was definitely beautiful conditions for a tournament.

As mentioned in the players meeting and on Facebook, there was $1,400 in the Roll Over Ace Pot before the tournament started. $370 was added with 74 players paying in to the Ace Pot. There was an Ace hit, but sadly all it got him was a “1” on the score card. Definitely a costly $1,770 mistake :-( The next tournament in Forsyth will be fun as there will likely be nearly $2,000 for an Ace for anyone that takes part in the Ace Pool! With 9 legit birdie chances on the Ozarks Dam Course, it will be surprising if an ace doesn’t get hit!

After the round there was a raffle. The big winner of the basket was Tyler Webb. It was great seeing him and his buddies out there on the course again! A great welcome back win!!

There were 10 divisions represented in the field.

I would like to give a big Congratulations to all that cashed and mention all 10 Champions:
Micah Noble * MPO -26
Esmeralda Dodson * FPO +3
Derek Green * MP40 -21
Carson Rees * MA1 -15 (Tie Break Win over Dylan Clinkenbeard) Moooooove Up!!!!!!!!
Charles Rector MA40 -11 (Tie Break Win over brother Toby Rector… say it ain’t so Tob!)
Darrin Dodson * MA50 -6
Justin “Move Up” Warren * MA2 -14
Catie Sala-Bankston * FA2 +18
Cameron Banks * MA3 -9
Brittany Michael * FA3 +33

The 1st Olde Glory Days Open Recap

This past Saturday 54 disc golf players made a trip to Clinton, Missouri to try their skills on the Artesian Park Disc Golf Course. The 1st Olde Glory Days Open was brought to you courtesy of the Greater Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce. David Lee, Chamber & Tourism Director, asked me several months ago to make Clinton a stop on the tour. David, the chamber, the parks department, Tim Komer and local professional player Micah Noble, all partnered with the Disc Golf Monkey to make it happen. A big thanks to all of them for their financial support, time, and efforts in making this event happen.

The course was very well groomed. Micah, marked the OB’s and drop zone areas. He also put out some much needed ice water out on the course with the help of Jonathan Chambless. Jon Parsons was the Tournament Director and Dason Keylor and Kevin Carder took care of check in, scoring, and payout. These guys did a fantastic job as always. I would also like to thank them and Justin Hare for cleaning up at the end. To the entire crew and possibly anyone I may have missed, thank you all for making this 1st event a successful one!

HOT was definitely the most talked about feature of the tournament. There was some wind involved as well, but it seemed to blow up high and not around ground level. This weird wind gave little to no relief from the temps that reached the low 90’s. As always in Missouri, the humidity made the hot even hotter. Keeping hydrated and not getting over heated was definitely a big key to performing well.

The players started showing up a little before check in at 8:00. Raffle tickets were sold as the players picked out the 2 Prodigy discs that were given away in the players pack. A big shout out of gratitude to Kendall over at Prodigy for the great looking discs. As always in the raffle, there were a lot of prizes given out. Tim had an Innova Discatcher Pro target for the raffle for the big ticket item. The winner of the basket was able to pick between three baskets, and Marlin Briggs chose the Discatcher. Congratulations to all the winners.
