PDGA TOURNAMENT  https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/55774

PDGA B-Tier playing one-round of 18 holes per-day with shotgun start for maximum camaraderie. There will be a lot of OB areas that mostly follow the original ball golf sand traps. The creek and all the lakes on the course are also OB and will be flagged with a nice cushion away from the water so you won't have to throw on crazy steep banks or in the weeds. These OB areas will be flagged with clearly marked directions if you do throw out of bounds. Hole 2 is the only Mandatory route on the course and will have a drop-zone near the tower. Water jugs will be provided at hole 1/TC and hole 9. Most divisions offered upon registration opening, but may consolidate divisions closer to the event with permissions from everyone involved. Please read and understand the refund/cancelation policy before registering; it's exactly the same as the the PDGA rules. True Amateur event with large players packs & trophies for the amateur divisions and $750 minimum added pro cash.


EXTRA FUN EVENTS OVERVIEW

You will receive a scorecard during player check-in after registering online. Anyone can play as many extra fun events as they wish, including over and over again to get the best score. Just pay for another round with the TD at tournament central and you will receive another scorecard. All of the extra fun events will be before the first round Saturday morning. The Putting Competition will be two rounds with first round being before Saturday's round, then the finals being played out following the second round Sunday afternoon before the raffle and award ceremony. Those who paid for the Dry Dock Front Nine event during online registration, can use their front nine score when they don't want the fun to stop and pay onsite for the 18 hole event and then just play the back nine holes. So being masters considerate, you don't have to play 27 holes at Dry Dock to compete in both extra fun events there. There is a map for the Dry Dock Brewing disc golf course lower down on this page as well as on the DG Scene and Facebook pages. Half of the extra fun events entry fees will be used for payout, the other half will be donated to charity.

Please take a picture with your phone too just in case. Play as many times as you like by purchasing another scorecard from the TD to get a better score. Will have Pro and Am divisions with separate awards, maybe extra divisions based on interest. Half of the entry fees will be cash payout and the other half will be donated to the Paul McBeth Foundation.

Finished the course map enough to publish publicly, including the first look at the planned OB. Hole placements may change, more info to come.
Also finally created Disc Golf Scene registration page after getting all the ducks into a row and confirming how this event will go down.

Late April 2022

Finally had a chance to check out the classic course to see if it was worthy of a masters only B-tier. Turns out it was not, but is in prime opportunity to run events there in the future with some work. More info to come. Decided to go with original thought of Centre Hills DGC in aurora with some fun OB.

Over the Winter

Was originally thinking of running the 2022 Shades of Gray MASTERS at Centere Hills in Aurora. But over the winter had an opportunity to host it at an old mountain course location, yet to be announced. Been waiting for the snow to clear enough to determine if the old course is B-Tier worthy and/or how much work it will take to get it ready for a tournament in September.

12-09-21

Sanctioned with PDGA as B-tier tournament.


Official Tournament Charity

Paul McBeth Foundation


The Paul McBeth Foundation will develop and introduce sustainable disc golf experiences in underserved locations with limited or no access to the sport.

About PMF

Most disc golfers are very aware of who Paul McBeth is and what he has done on disc golf courses over the last 15+ years. They may not know as much about his passion for bringing the joys and benefits of disc golf to as many new people as possible. Paul is where he is today because disc golf was available to him in a setting that typically would not have had accessible disc golf courses. Paul would like to see future generations in similar areas have a chance to learn life lessons and experience the joy and community that playing disc golf affords. The Paul McBeth Foundation is Paul's vehicle to make this happen!

The Paul McBeth Foundation is a corporation registered in the state of Virginia. Official 501 (c)3 status has been secured with the Internal Revenue Service.

Our Vision

The Paul McBeth Foundation sees the incredible benefits that disc golf can provide for both individuals and groups of people. The golf lessons learned on the course associated with hard work, commitment, integrity, critical thinking, decision making, communication, and building and maintaining relationships go way past the course and deep into the futures of all who participate. The Paul McBeth Foundation is committed to making this a reality for as many people as possible.

Our Game Plan

The Paul McBeth Foundation is looking for opportunities to either install disc golf courses or provide portable disc golf options in areas without easy access to the sport. Projects ranging from putting baskets in the ground overseas to providing portable baskets to an urban community center cannot be the foundation's end game, though. Providing resources and education to develop and sustain consistent play has to happen to fulfill the foundation's mission.
