8/27/21 - PLAYDAY #3 UPDATE
Regrettably, conditions are forcing us to postpone the completion of Playday #3 (poles/flag/mystery). We will now try to complete #3 on September 11. In addition, given all the delays, we will make this a 3-day series instead of four. We will now count only the two highest day scores to determine the series winner.
Hope you can join us Saturday, September 11.
If you can't make the September 11 event and need a refund from August 14th let us know.
8/20/21 - The completion of Playday #3 (poles, flags and mystery) is postponed. Conditions are unlikely to improve from rain/wet arena by this Saturday. This event will be moved to August 28. Playday #4 will be pushed back to September.
