This IS a sanctioned event.
Our relay for life team is working hard getting really great prizes together for this event, they are raising money, getting gift certificates, and large items for first place in each divisions as well as a large item for the raffle.

this is what we hope to have for the PRO open first place prize:

Custom stamp on Relay For Life Tournament disc.
If you would like to purchase one of these discs they will be DX ROC's for $15.00 all proceeds will go to Relay For Life. Everyone that enters will get one at registration.

First place prize for Jr. division:

ROC for Covington County Hospital Relay For Life Tournament June 17th 2012. These can be purchased for $15 until June 1st 2012

Sounds like a good event. If possible I know I would like to play in this one to help raise money for cancer patients and survivors.

What's first place prize for Novice??? Amateur??? I might be in either division...not sure yet. I am playing my first tournament this weekend at the Southside Smackdown.

not sure yet possibly camping gear or something like that. will update soon.

Do you know about how far you are from Sebastopol??? And is there a more direct route from Sebastopol to Collins rather than driving west on I-20 to get to 49 and then heading to Collins?? Again I would really like to play in this one and maybe place a little better than my 7'th in the Smackdown. What is the golf course like there?? Wooded? Open? Water hazards??

The only other route I can see is to take hwy 35 all the way down, but I dont't know if that will be faster. The course is in the city park it is wooded but not thick, there are two water hazards but not an extreme danger (unless you go short or weak with a toss). This course was designed to be beginner friendly with a touch of a challenge with some distance and OB.

if you take hwy 35 it is 76 miles. going thru jackson will be 129 miles and meridian to 84 is 133 miles. it may be easier and faster to take hwy 35.

Cool. I live in Mobile Alabama but my wife has family over that way. Hopefully be able to get someone to watch the young ones so we can both play in the fundraiser. We would probably both be in Novice. Are you expecting a decent turnout?

As with any event a TD expects a good turnout. We would love to have a full course so that we can raise as much money as possible for the American cancer society. You can help us out by spreading the word about this event. We (Covington county hospital's Relay For Life team) appreciates you and anyone else that comes and supports this event.

FYI for those considering this weekend and are playing the states games Saturday keep in mind that Collins has a best western with camping at either seminary canoe rental or okatoma outdoor post.

Ransom,

Count LargeMouth DG Productions in for a $50 sponsorship. $25 cash and some plastic.

Thanks for supporting such a good cause!!! It's people like you that give Disc Golf a good name!

I look forward to getting up there and checking out the course in the near future.

Thanks Tony we appreciate your sponsorship. Covington County Hospital's Relay For Life team have set a goal this year to raise $20,000, we are just above $16,000 to date and hope that we can get a great turnout for this event to push us closer to our goal. Please keep in mind that there will be NO cash payouts at this event however we are gathering some great prizes to award the winners. Aslo everyone that enters this event will receive a custom stamp dx roc.

I'm gonna ask my mom and sister if they might be interested in sponsorship. They own "Signature Real Estate" here in Mobile Alabama. Any word on Amateur division prizes? How many places "cash"?

Do the hole sponsorships get a tee sign or will you have shirts with their logo? Just wondering. I know the important thing here is about helping people by raising money.

We will be doing tee signs for hole sponsors. We're not doing shirts because it's difficult to get sizes and we don't really know how many people will attend. We are still working on getting prizes together so I can't say for sure what the am division payout will be, but you won't be dissapointed. Also if we have any left over tournament stamp discs we were thinking of giving them to the sponsors for collecting. As for how far we will pay in each division will depend on the attendance in that division, we will try to get as close to the 33% standard as possible, but like you said we are trying to raise as much money for the American cancer society as possible.

We are also strictly capping the the field to 100 participants because the park doesn't have the room for several additional holes.

Ok. So probably need to pre-register to be on the safe side. How many people you have so far?? I may try to send you my registration this week if possible. I appreciate your help on all this.

Pre-registration is encouraged but not mandatory we anticipate a full field but as of now we don't have any pre-registered participants. We hope that we receive more but we will be doing Saturday and Sunday registration I will be at the States games in Hattiesburg on the Saturday before our event taking registration.

19 days and counting. I have got a couple tournaments under my belt now (Southside Smackdown VIII and Citronelle Safari 6), so hopefully I will be ready to do some serious disc golfing while helping to raise money at the same time. I will be playing Amateur in this one. I will try to go ahead and pre-register in the next week or two and my wife might be playing as well in Novice. Either way, just looking to have a good time meeting new disc golfers and throwing some discs. I had been trying to find something about the park to get an idea of what its like until today. I found a forum you made last year with the proposed layout for the course. It looked pretty sweet. Is the proposed layout the one that was ultimately used and is in use today?? I am going to try to play a round or two before the tournament but if not atleast I will have an idea what I will be going in to. A LOT OF O.B.

do you accept paypal????

Sorry no paypal

this course only has nine permanent baskets right now so we will be using temp baskets i think we have enough but if you are coming and can fit a basket in your ride bring it with so we are sure to have enough thanks for your help and support.
