Pun’s Labyrinth Sells Out, More Events in 2020

Did you notice our course rating has dropped? What gives!? If you haven’t reviewed the course, or done so in a while and need to update it, please do! We have made so many improvements in recent years including restrooms, better trails and maintenance. Please give our volunteers some love and provide a great rating/review!

Pun’s Labyrinth IX sold out within MINUTES! Don’t worry if you are on the wait-list, we typically see a lot of people drop due to unforeseen scheduling issues or other circumstances. If you KNOW you are going to need to drop, please let the tournament staff know as soon as possible so others will know they are in!

So what other great events are coming up this year you can register for? We know Pun’s has been the “big one” but we have started these other great events as well and they are just as notable!

CANCELLED – Saturday, June 13th – The Eagles Fly at Punderson

TD – Scott Williams

This is our classic “Red, White and Blue” event where you get to experience the course from a varied layout. If you haven’t played all the tees, we highly recommend you get some practice in on these rounds so you are familiar with the layout.

First round will be starting from Red on hole one to the short baskets.

Second round will be starting from Blue on hole one to the long baskets.

Sunday, August 30th – The Odorous Open

TD – Larry Bright

You will play two rounds with all competitors playing a Reds to Shorts Round 1 followed by a beat down playing a longer and more challenging Round 2 (Blues/Whites/Reds to Longs depending on division).

Saturday, October 10th – Punderson Glow Doubles

TD – Bob Becker

Punderson is a great place to glow golf! Just remember to watch for the owls, coyotes and all things that go bump in the night… The Manor and Campground are both rumored to be haunted with several eyewitnesses accounts, and we don’t doubt that the woods where the disc golf course lives probably are too…

The layout will feature The Original 9 holes, with some add-on holes used where long pins are in play. Two rounds will be played, with a minimum of 12 holes per round and 24 total.

This event will be $50 per team with each team member getting a little something to commemorate the occasion. The cost of the item will be deducted from entry fees ($20 per team, with each player getting a custom stamped Innova glow disc) with all remaining funds going to payouts in cold hard cash for each division. The TD reserves the right to ensure fair positioning in divisions, and will move teams accordingly to keep it fair. If you need clarification on divisions, please ask.

Glow discs will be available for sale at the event as well!!!

Getting Ready for 2018 at Punderson Disc Golf Course

We are happy to announce that we are getting ready for 2018 with some select leagues, events and tournaments! All events are sponsored by the Friends of Punderson State Park.

We will be having an April’s Fools league for those of you who enjoyed March Madness, sadly Sharky isn’t able to make it work this year but with a little collaboration we hope that our April’s Fools league will fill that void and provide a fun way to start warming up for the season.

LabyrinthCropped

This year the Labyrinth is coming back to its original three round, two day format and will stay a B-Tier event this year on July 21st-22nd, 2018. Online registration will be opening March 1st – this will be a prepay only event. You can learn more or REGISTER HERE

We will also have some park maintenance projects going on with the course. These are being coordinated with the park so we will update as we know what happening!

We will have more to come but just wanted to post an update!

Pun’s Labyrinth VI – July 22-23, 2017

Registration has gone live for Pun’s Labyrinth VI – our sixth year running this event.

Tournament Director: Theodore Mote

Assistant Tournament Director: Tom Mote

However as some noticed there are some changes this year:

  • PDGA B-Tier Event (Previously a C-Tier)
  • Field is Open to more players
  • Format will be different from previous years
  • Pre-Tournament Friday Blowfly Doubles Round (for those in town early)
  • Island Hootenanny (on the island) with live music by EBDB Saturday evening
  • Mid-Tournament Saturday Night Singles Glow Round
  • Island is now in play with a basket on the island & a platform tee from the island
  • 27 hole course layout in the works (final formats to be determined)

We are still early in the year with lots of time before the event. We are hoping the change from a C to a B Tier will help us bring in some more players and open up the event so nobody who wants to play will miss out this year. Each year the bar is raised a little and we have raised it again in hopes of taking the event in another step in the right direction.

Lots of course improvements were made in 2016 and we are hoping the State Park manages to find the time to make a few improvements as well:

  • Island bridge was installed (thanks to donors & volunteers)
  • More benches were built and installed (thanks to donors & volunteers)
  • Island platform / tee pad constructed & installed (thanks to donors & volunteers)
  • Plans to expand the course were established with the park
  • The state is to install restrooms at the course, hopefully before the tourney
  • The state is aware of the need for a larger parking lot

Events like this are made possible by donations and volunteers working with the Ohio State Park system through the Friends of Punderson State Park non-profit organization. Below is a video of a drive off of the platform tee on the island:
