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:
