The SC Doubles 2013 Championship is a little over a month away. The tournament is scheduled for March 16th & 17th at Grand Central Station DGC in Central. Bryan Schaupp is the new TD of this great event. All four rounds will be at the most challenging course in the Upstate of South Carolina. Formats haven’t been decided yet.
You can register online through the PDGA site or the old fashioned way by downloading the registration form 2013 Registration Form.
There are several changes coming to tournament I run and the information available here. The SC Doubles Championship is moving completely out of Oconee County for 2013. Bryan Schaupp is going to be the TD next year and will be hosting the event at one of the best courses in the Upstate. It will be held at Grand Central Station Disc Golf Course in Central.
I have no information right now other than Bryan is targeting mid March for the Doubles this year. More information can be found right here when it becomes available.
The Chainsaw Classic will be run by someone other than me (hopefully) in 2013. I’ve had some preliminary discussions with two different groups that are interested in running the tournament. My hope is to keep it in Walhalla at Sertoma Field. I hope to be back running the event in 2014.
I have started a new venture. DiscGolf2U is a business dedicated to expanding Disc Golf into schools, churches, youth programs through providing portable Disc Golf Courses. I started the business last April and have done about a dozen events and that has lead to two 9-hole courses for schools. Both portable courses. I’m excited about promoting the sport in this way. I think getting as many kids involved at a early age is one of the keys to continued growth.
The other part of DiscGolf2U is selling, designing and installing courses. As of right now, we’ve installed a 9-hole course with the help of a local scout in Clayton, GA and have installed two private courses. Those courses were both made possible because someone saw a presentation DiscGolf2U did and decided to install small, short courses for their kids and grand kids to enjoy.
If you know of a group, city council, park board or county commission that has available land and there is a need or a good possibility of a course they would support, I would love the chance to make a presentation. Here’s a list of courses that I have had a role in getting funded and/or installed…
Plymouth Creek, Plymouth MN (Did original presentation)
Seneca’s Six at Shaver Recreation Complex (Ball field Holes) Seneca, SC (Sold course)
Seneca’s 9 on Pine Street, Seneca, SC (course funded and designed, not installed yet)
Chattooga Belle Farm in Long Creek, SC (Sold and designed)
River Chase in Union, SC (sold)
Chau Ram, Westminster, SC (sold – not installed yet)
Grand Central Station in Central SC (did original presentation with Sarah Cunningham and others – Bryan Schaupp is the one that got the approval and did the design and over saw the installation)
Clayton Eagle Ridge Course, Clayton GA (did presentation and design, installed by future Eagle Scout Sean Antosiac)
These are just some of the projects. Several of these are in the works…all have been funded…its just taking time to get everything installed.
Other projects are in the works and I’m hoping 2013 is full of course design and installations.
The SC CHAINSAW Classic is full. All 72 spaced have been spoken for. Looking forward to seeing everyone Sunday.
Thanks to the sponsors of the event…DiscGolf 2U, DiscGolfStation.com, High Fly Discs, Gateway and the DGA.
You can now register for the 2012 SC Chainsaw Classic. The tournament is Sunday, November 18th, 2012 at Sertoma Field in Walhalla, SC. We are limiting the field to 72 players and have caps on all divisions. You can also register at DiscGolfUnited.com.
The Chainsaw Classic will be held this year on Sunday November 18th. Online registration opens Friday morning September 14th and will remain open until 10 days before the tournament.
We’ve made a few changes this year. Limited field of only 72 players and each division is also limited. These numbers are based on previous years numbers. All AM players have a choice of a Gateway Magic, a Gateway Wizard or a tournament t-shirt. Once the design is finalized, it will be posted here and on our facebook page.
Lunch is included this year and will be a choice of Chicken Chili, Chicken Fajitas or one other choice. The third choice is still up in the air.
The Championship is this weekend. Right now I have 21 teams either registered or have emailed or sent me a text with their intention to play. I expect a couple of more teams. We’ll have more teams than last year but will fall short of the full field we had in the past.
All players, regardless of division, will receive a player’s pack consisting of two discs and a mini. All player pack merchandise was paid for directly from sponsors of the event and not taken out of entry fees.
There will be CTPs per division each day but it hasn’t been determined if we will have CTPs for each round or each day. As we did last year, the CTPs will be team CTPs and each player on the team will each get something.
Online registration is closed. If you haven’t registered and want to play, please email or send me a text message. You can also send me a message through facebook.
We’re doing online registration through DiscGolfU.com. We did add a Recreation Division. The online registration has that option. The form you can print and send in the mail doesn’t but feel free to indicate on the form if you”re playing rec. Price is the same as Int.
Here’s the 2012 SC Doubles registration. Online registration will open on August 1st online. I will have a link to online signup soon.
All players will receive a players pack including two discs. One will be a JK Avair Putter and the second will be a choice of one of three different DGA Discs…all in premium plastic.
This year’s tournament has less cash sponsorships compared to years past. In an attempt to keep payouts high and in an attempt to payback 100% of player entry fees, we will cut out some of the player pack items and give more back in prize money in pro and vouchers for merchandise for the am divisions.o
The SC Doubles Championship is looking at Saturday & Sunday August 25th-26th for this year’s tournament. Site(s) haven’t been determined yet. Right now we’re looking at Chattooga Belle Farm, Sertoma Field in Walhalla, Shaver Recreation Center in Seneca, Grand Central Station in Central and possibly Chau Ram if the course is installed and playable.
While I can’t say for 100 percent this is the last two-day, four format SC Doubles Championship, there will be a much smaller version of the tournament in 2013. Probably a one day, two round C tier type tournament. Even a good chance the event will be moved to late fall or early spring.
The Chainsaw Classic will be the Sunday before Thanksgiving, November 18th. I am hoping to make the Chainsaw a B tier event. The Chainsaw is going to become my main focus tournament wise in the future with most sponsorship fundraising being for this event. Also I will have division limits within the tournament sign up and we will focus on keeping divisions divisible by 4 or 5.
My hope is to have no mixed divisions on any of the cards. I haven’t decided if I want to cap the field at 72 or at 90 players.
