Dynamic Discs Presents Abilene Wild Hair Disc Golf Tournament This Weekend
Tons of discs will be flying in Abilene this weekend as Dynamic Discs presents the annual Wild Hair disc golf tournament, a PDGA event. Get ready to grip it and rip it.
First of all, 'grip it and rip it' refers to grabbing your disc and throwing it. I just wanted to clear that up.
On Friday, there will be a single and doubles flex-start event with a $2000 ace pot. Then, the Wild Hair will take place on Saturday and Sunday over at both Cal Young Park and Will Hair Park.
Flex-Start Event
The flex-start event basically means that you and your partner (if playing doubles) can tee off anytime between 9 am and 6 pm on Friday as long as you have another team to tee off with. The ace pot starts off at $2000. This is an 18-hole round. If you're not wanting to be in the actual tournament but want to play a round, then you'll want to be at Will Hair park on Friday.
The Wild Hair
The Wild Hair will take place on Saturday and Sunday at both Will Hair and Cal Young parks. You definitely want to pre-register for this event. There will be three rounds played with two different pools. Pool A will play at Will Hair while Pool B will play at Cal Young. Tee time for Saturday will be at 8 am and 8:30 am for Sunday. It will be a hot son of a gun this weekend so dress accordingly and bring lots of water.
