The Winter Blast is quickly approaching. On December 16, 2017 we will be playing at Grubaugh Park in Ozark as we have for the last 7 years. Each year the Winter Blast has served as a chance for disc golfers to get together one last time in the year to play a semi competitive tournament while giving back to a local charity called Freedom’s Rest (Christian County Family Crisis Center) that is based in Ozark, MO.

As mentioned earlier the Winter Blast has now happened 6 times with this one being the 7th. There are a few changes this year. The biggest and main change is this is a registered PDGA C Tier event. This means that the mulligans are gone. By popular demand I have decided to try it this way and see what happens. In order to still raise money for Freedom’s Rest, I have raised the entry and will be pulling a $10 amount of each entry fee. The $10 has been the maximum amount of mulligans that has been offered to buy in the past, and since about 90% of players have purchased that amount I figured it wouldn’t be much of a difference. I’m hoping that giving everyone one more chance at some PDGA points for the year and helping raise money and food for a good cause will be supported by everyone.

We will still be doing the Turkey Trott. I am asking up front for help on getting as many turkeys and hams together for this. If you have a lead let me know, or better yet use the flyer and see if you can’t hit up some places near you for donations. This year all you have to do is hit 3 birdies in a row and you get a free shot at a CTP and taking away a piggy or a bird. We will also be doing a raffle in which all the proceeds will go to Freedom’s Rest as well. Please bring stuff for the raffle if you have it.

As always, I’m looking forward to seeing you all there! This year has been incredible and I can’t see why this last event won’t be something special too!
