Division Caps & Registration
We intend to cap this event at 140 players. Cards will consist of 3-4 players. Tee times will be in intervals of 12 minutes and will spread over 6 hours, 6:30-1:30pm. Groups will only consist of players from a single division (with exception to amateur women and juniors). Pro groups will tee in the afternoon.
Division caps will be set in multiples of 4 once the field reaches 72 registered players. Divisions that do not have at least 3 registered players at that time will be removed and players will be asked to join a different division. Once division caps are set they will not be changed.
REGISTER EARLY TO GIVE YOUR DIVISION ROOM FOR MORE PARTICIPANTS

Beat the Heat
This is mid-July in Texas, it will be HOT!! We are playing 2 rounds of 18 holes on a long course. We have structured the event schedule in hopes of having everyone play the course in less than 3 hours. Pro cards will expect to tee during the hottest stretch of the day. We will have spotters on several holes and have strategically altered the 21 hole Trinity layout to help cards move through the course a bit quicker and limit time in the sunny areas of the course.
Players need to be prepared for a long, hot Texas round of golf. Hats, sunglasses, and umbrellas are great tools to avoid the sun. Carts can help minimize fatigue and manage very well on this course. Wear sunscreen if needed and stay in the shade where possible.
We will have shade and hydration stations at holes 2, 8, 13, and 18 (Gold). It is imperative that players BRING LOTS OF WATER! Players will get a hydration drink mix as part of their player pack and more will be available for purchase at tournament central.
Be sure to hydrate well on Friday and Saturday evenings. Hydration starts 48 hours before heat exposure. Preparation before the event will go a long way to keeping hydrated. Be safe and let's all have a good time!
Awards and Payouts
There will be a minimum of $750 added to the pro purse for this event. As we generate more sponsors we will add more to both pro and amateur payouts. Thank you to our sponsors for making this possible!
Payout will be awarded to the top 45% of each division using the PDGA payout scale. Pro divisions will be paid in cash or digitally after the event. Amateur players will win a merchandise credit to The on-site Disc Golf Dojo proshop.
