It is that time again! I have been planning this shindig since my first women’s event ended in June. Obviously we had some turbulence, but what flight doesn’t have that? This event will hopefully be the largest women’s event in GA for a second year in a row. We are doing some really cool stuff but we all know how much cool stuff costs don’t we? This year the entry fee will cover all expenses for the weekend: camping, breakfast (x2), lunch (x2), and a dinner party on Saturday night!
I know it is mother’s day weekend, but it is also for the women, so if mama wants to play she should be able to play dontcha think? Sunday is going to be a fast round as early as possible so we can get everyone fed, awarded and out before mid afternoon so no worries about losing the fancy dinner you are entitled to. You should have enough time to get home, clean up and have a great night.

The course will be divided into 2 18 hole courses. One more challenging than the other but both keeping with the flyboy flavor. Recreational players will only play the easier of the two layouts and it will feature minimal to no water carries. I am sure we will have some nice guys willing to get wet for you anyways though! The INT and up players will play both courses over the weekend.

Basic schedule: (Major TBD considering how far away we are)

Friday:
Early Check-in / Prepare course
Mixed doubles round (evening)* Pending approval for Friday play

Saturday:
8:00 breakfast / briefing
9:00 round 1 start (Rec- Short) (All others- Long)
12:00ish lunch
1:00ish Pro-am doubles (short course)
5:00ish Dinner followed by party
TBD Glow golf and Kan Jam* If mixed is nixed on Friday we will play mixed here

Sunday:
8:00 breakfast
8:30 round 2 start (all short)
12:00ish lunch
1:00ish Awards

Camping obviously available and all extra amenities are first come first serve. World champions stay in the B&B. We are going to try to work out a way to get everyone a chance at a shower on Saturday night.

Costs: (Tentative)

Pro- $60
Adv- $50
Int- $50
Rec- $40

Anybody with some math skills can see that this will not leave a lot for payout. That’s where I am counting on you guys! I really need all the help I can get with this, just like last year. I know I can count on the awesome support like I got last year and believe me I appreciated every bit of it.

I am going to do things a little different than usual. Instead of having tee signs I am going to have individual sponsorships. I am hoping I can get every woman who enters sponsored. If this happens you can bet on a very happy payout again.

I am also working some major sponsorship angles again as well so for right now we will just talk about the low dollar ones.

Individual sponsorship- $25

Includes:
Invite to mixed doubles ($5 of each sponsorship will go to mixed pot)* (pending approval of play on Fri)
Thank you in program
Thank you at dinner
Sign with all individual sponsors
Thank you card signed by the person you sponsor

If you want to sponsor your wife/so/daughter/mother you can specify, otherwise it will be sequentially chosen.

I do not have a Juniors division planned due to the difficulty of the courses but if your girl plays near the Rec women’s average please do not hesitate to put her in Rec. I just don’t want really young girls to be tortured out there.

Flygirls will happen!!

Flyboy has been closed due to some issues and it was announced yesterday that it will re-open in a much more exclusive fashion and will only host 2 tournaments this year, the Atlanta Open and Flygirls.

What does that mean? It means you gotta play, that's what!! Women will be the only ones who can play all the Flyboy events this year, how cool is that?

They will both use different layouts but major elements of the 27 hole course will be used in the 2 18 hole courses we will be using so please do sign up for the AO to get ready.

I will also be running mixed dubs on the Friday before Flygirls if possible.

Off Axis disc golf has sponsored and sent out some cool shirts, we will probably have a card CTP for their shirts & some Innova shirts.

Also added, Vibram Disc Golf has sponsored and we will also have a card CTP, each card will get a prototype Vibram disc!!

Off Axis and Vibram have also added some player's pack goodies.

I am also looking to add some cash to the pro pot, Right now one of two women will walk away with $120, make it 3 and it'll be $170...I will add $50 per pro and I won't quit...make me go work for more sponsorship, I dare ya.

Am winners will receive entry into Disc Girls Gone Wild.
