Aspen Sports & the Flagstaff Disc Golf Club present the 6th annual TREEASH OPEN A PDGA -tier & AZDGC Southwest Cactus Series Event August 2nd & rd - Thorpe & McPherson Disc Golf Courses EVENT GUIDE
Tournament Notes: The 20 Aspen Sports Treebash Open is a PDGA -Tier event, and an Arizona Disc Golf Club Cactus Series event. This year is the 6th annual Treebash tournament. Our title sponsor, Aspen Sports, is a full-service outdoor gear and accessory store with a complete disc golf selection. Aspen Sports has supported the sport of disc golf for many years, and in 200 donated nine of the baskets at the McPherson Park Disc Golf Course, along with the Arizona Disc Golf Club, who donated the other half. Notes on Flagstaff and playing at Elevation: For those not accustomed to playing at elevation, a little advice goes a long way. The oxygen in the air is thin, so pacing yourself is mandatory. The humidity levels are also quite low, so keeping hydrated is essential. The UV levels from the sun are very high, so the use of sunscreen is suggested. In the mountains, weather can be very unpredictable, so keeping a rainjacket and an extra layer is suggested. Flagstaff is located in Northern Arizona on the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau. Nestled in ponderosa pine forest at the base of an extinct volcano, the town is situated at an elevation of 000 ft. The local disc golf courses are carved out of the dense, rocky pine forest that dominates the landscape, creating short, technical holes that require accuracy and finesse. Tournament Rules: All PDGA rules will be enforced. The two meter rule will be in effect, so any disc coming to rest above 2 meters will be considered out-of-bounds according to PDGA rule 0.09 (printed on back page). Alcohol consumption will not be permitted during tournament play. Consumption of alcohol in non-glass containers by those who are 2 and over will be permitted at the course parks during times of non-tournament rounds. Any player caught consuming alcohol during tournament rounds will be immediately disqualified and reported to the PDGA and local authorities.
