[b]CASH[/b]

As of today, we now have over $3000 in added cash committed from our sponsors for the 2010 CO State Disc Golf Championships. Our goal of $5000 is within reach and we anticipate no worse than $4000 with a prize purse anticipated to be over $10000!!!

[b]COURSES[/b]

Both courses are co-designed by Mike Randolph of Team Discraft [url]http://www.discraft.com/team_randolph.html[/url]

World Champions and top touring Pro’s agree, these are two fantastic locations. Peter Shive of Team Innova, a 9 time Senior Grandmasters World Champion [url]http://www.innovadiscs.com/team/the-masters/peter-shive.html[/url] had this to say:
[quote]Both courses are beautiful. Bailey plays over a central wooded and elevated area that is surrounded by a more open and rolling plain. Beaver Ranch is very tight because of all the pine trees. The course is built into a rugged, forested ridge and there’s lots of elevation change. Both courses are demanding and require good physical fitness. [/quote]

Kathy Hardyman, a 3 time Women’s Grand Master World Champion [url]http://fadegear.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=16&chapter=...[/url] says:
[quote]Beaver Ranch and Bailey are both beautiful, classic Colorado courses. When people come to CO to play they want to see Colorado, not just another park, and these two are definitely Colorado. They provide lots of hiking, scenery, wildlife and fresh air. Personally, I prefer courses that are more technical and require skill, not just distance, and I can get that on these courses. Both courses will test your game and have you wanting more.[/quote]

Many of you are familiar with Beaver Ranch [url]http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=2488[/url] but for a glimpse of Bailey check out this short video: [url]http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=106489269379617&v=app_239...!/video/video.php?v=1375279016341&oid=106489269379617[/url]

[b]PLAYERS PACKAGE[/b]

Players package is coming together nicely as well. All amateur players will receive a tournament-stamped disc, a wicking tournament screen-printed shirt, and a pint glass with a choice of two tournament logos!! All Pro players will receive a pint glass and have the option of purchasing their first disc and/or shirt at a special price.

[b]ADDITIONAL AMMENITIES[/b]

Also, we have reached an agreement for Zoka's to cater a Saturday night dinner for us at the Main Lodge of Beaver Ranch!! The Main Lodge is a spectacular building at the base of the disc golf course and the on-location cabin/tent camping. This will be a nice buffet-style dinner from one of our finest area restaurants!! [url]http://www.zokasrestaurant.com[/url]. For $10 you will receive dinner and your first beverage (which will include a very fine pour for those of age).

Getting back to that camping; FFDGC has reserved 4 of Beaver Ranch's finest on-site cabins for this event. The cabins normally run $60/night but for just $85, you can reserve your cabin FOR BOTH NIGHTS on site and be right in the heart of all the action. These cabins sleep up to 8 people. That's as little as $5/night if you fill the cabin!!

[b]TOURNAMENT/CONTACT INFO[/b]
