- THE 7TH ANNUAL TARHEEL TOURNAMENT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS
First, Matthew deserved all the credit for this thing... We almost trippled our sponsorships, moved from C to a B tier tournament, and the course was sweeter than ever... The field of players was also amazing (and bigger), too. Check out all the details at pdga.com.
Thanks also to the course construction Chain-gang who pulled together the final pads, baskets, and maintenance. Every one of the winners mentioned how sweet the course was during their prize-acceptance speeches. The course was perfect, and people were talking about it all week.
Thanks to everyone else who helped get prizes and helped in the morning. Sheffy also gets a heel-yeah for the party.
FINALLY, thanks to all the Carolina Disc Golf Club members who competed and played their hearts out...
