2022 Chain Smokin' for Scholarships Disc Golf Tournament!
A PDGA-sanctioned, C-Tier Pro-Am disc golf tournament on Saturday, June 25 at the Four Seasons course in Snowflake will help NPC Friends and Family provide scholarships for Northland Pioneer College US military veteran students.
NPC Friends and Family has partnered with the City of Snowflake and the City of Taylor to not only generate scholarship funds but to raise awareness of the beautiful Four Seasons course, which shares the grounds with the Snowflake Municipal Golf Course, and increase interest in a wholesome, outdoor sport that can be enjoyed by the whole family for a nominal cost. Spectators are welcome to come and see what the sport of disc golf is all about!
Disc Golf Hall of Famer Dan Ginnelly, and “Snowflake” Steve Johnston, two pioneers of the sport, co-designed the Four Seasons course. Johnston will serve with Wilson as Co-Tournament Director.
Registration, $60 for amateur and $70 for professionals, provides lunch, two rounds of tournament action (morning and afternoon) and a gift bag complete with a new disc, tee shirt, hat and sunscreen. There will be categories for both men and women, pro and amateur players, as well as youths. The players in the pro division will play for a half-cash payback for the top third in each category, plus the additional cash purse of $2,000.00 provided by the cities of Snowflake and Taylor.
