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.

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!

DGA Presents Pun’s Labyrinth VI

We’ve come a long way since our registration open date of February 14th!

After a few hurdles, a lot of volunteer work and course maintenance and we are ready to host this highly anticipated and much loved event at Punderson State Park located in Newbury, Ohio.

WORK DAY – Monday, July 17th at 10:00am – Please come if you can make it!

This event would not have been possible without the support of the Disc Golf Association, Dynamic Discs, MVP, Johnny’s Grill & Pizzeria, Punderson Manor Lodge & Conference Center, Bailey’s Home Improvements, Zuca’s Non-Profit Program, Team T.E.A., EBDB (Sharky’s Band) and our hardworking volunteers with the Friends of Punderson State Park 501c3 non-profit organization and disc golfers who support and enjoy our course.

Last year one of our biggest accomplishments was installing the island bridge, however we just didn’t have the time to incorporate it into play for last year’s tournament without having the platform installed which we were able to install this year. For this year’s event, the island will be in play.

Not only is the new layout now fully in place, but we have also poured the additional concrete tee pads and are working on updating all of our maps and signs. All tournament layouts are now playable for practice before the tournament.

And as always, we will be hosting side events as well as our much anticipated Prize Raffle.

For those of you coming into town early, we are hosting a Blowfly Doubles Event Friday Night (bring your own partner).

Saturday evening, we will be hosting an “Island Hootenanny” which has actually been moved to the Sports Chalet (tournament headquarters) from 6:00-9:00pm with Pizza provided by Johnny’s Grill & Pizzeria and music by EBDB – there just wasn’t a way to get a reliable electrical source and restrooms on the island. Please make sure to let us know if you will be attending the Hootenanny at registration so we order enough pizza. Raffle tickets will be for sale during this event.

At 9:00pm if you signed up for the Midnight Flyer Glow In the Dark Round you will be heading out to play 9 Holes with Limited Edition Midnight Flyer.

Also at 9:00pm we will begin the Raffle Drawing which is different from past events as we usually held it on Sunday, after the tournament ended. You DO NOT NEED TO BE PRESENT TO WIN your items during the raffle, however your raffle ticket must have your FULL NAME or PDGA NUMBER clearly marked on the ticket, and you will have to pick up your prize before you leave on Sunday. This year, you are encouraged to donate now to earn extra raffle tickets as well as entries to a One Night Stay for Two at the rumored to be haunted Punderson Manor (not available during the event) – Click here for more information and to Donate Now.

If you are from out of town looking for some grub during your stay, please check out these local Restaurants & Businesses and let them know you are here for a Disc Golf Tournament hosted by the Friends of Punderson!

If you aren’t already, please follow us on Facebook or Disc Golf Scene for updates.

Ice Bowl – Saturday, January 28th – Island Platform Update

It’s been a while and there have been some big changes at the course!

Tomorrow is our Ice Bowl! Don’t forget to bring a non-perishable food item (canned, boxed, pasta, rice, peanut butter, tuna, etc.) for Geauga County Job and Family Services’ Pantry. You can register at the event or pre-register here: https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/8th_Annual_Punderson_Ice_Bowl_2017

We will use the same format as in the past. Tee off will be 10am. One round of reds to longs. 3 divisions, Advanced, Intermediate and Recreational. Optional Mulligans (6 for $5). 50% of entry fees and Mulligan proceeds go to Geauga County Jobs and Family Services charity food program. One food item required with entry fee.
Advanced will pay out in cash, Intermediate and Recreational will pay out in merch.
WE WILL HEADQUARTER AT THE DISC GOLF COURSE THIS YEAR, NOT THE SPORTS CHALET. We will have a fire going and some form of temporary shelter, but please dress accordingly. Hopefully the mild weather will continue, but we will play regardless. No Whimps, No Whiners! Hope to see you out there.

Our island now has a platform as an alternate tee pad for hole #3 – that’s right, you can now play to the island and from the island! Thanks to all the hardworking and dedicated volunteers for making this happen! Below is a video of the platform in play made by Theodore Mote:

We hope to see you tomorrow!
