Hey and - great job on the Silver Series coverage of ! Dana and Charlie were great in the booth, Nate showed up at the perfect times to give us insight out on the course (although we might quibble with his pronunciation of "Pecan"), and Christine Jennings is adding a nice touch to the FPO coverage we're watching now.

Seeing how these guys carved up that course makes us think we need to invest in some more pink (OB) string for the Goat. And we have a semi-diabolical ideal for a "Knights that Say Ni" shrubbery to add to Hole 7's green (inspired by the bush that caught Alex Russel's drive on Hole 14).

We're watching the final round action from The Open at Belton, a fellow Disc Golf Pro Tour Silver Series event on the Disc Golf Network. In seven weeks The Challenge will receive the same coverage treatment, so we're taking notes on how we can set up the course at Goat Hill Park to provide great entertainment for the fans.

If you don't already have a subscription to the Disc Golf Network, now is the time to sign up! PDGA members get a 50% discount off the monthly subscription price - a great deal.

One thing we noticed so far (aside from the roaring wind) was the interesting "bunker" on hole 5's green. Hole 5's basket is perched on a high mound with one spot along the bottom of the mound that has a handful of posts sticking up out of the ground with an oval of rock sat the base of the posts. If the player lands in the rocks, not only do they have uneven footing, but they have to putt uphill through the posts (commentators referred to them as "Slim Jims")...in a heavy wind.

Interesting...

The Challenge at Goat Hill Park is partnering with several Team Innova athletes and our favorite artist, , on these special fundraiser disc designs.

We've had great conversations with the athletes and artist to come up with artwork that lets them have some fun with Challenge, our Goat mascot.

This full-color artwork will be printed on Star plastic discs in limited numbers, to raise funds for BOTH the athletes and The Challenge (50/50 split). All discs will be numbered and purchasers will have the choice of whether their disc is signed by the athlete. There might even be a few of these dyed...

We're always looking for new and creative ways to support players and build The Challenge. Got some ideas? Share! And always...ENJOY!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Well, Challenge (our goat mascot) is green, so he must be Irish!?! So in honor of St. Paddy's Day, we've dropped the price on all of our full-color fundraiser discs for The Challenge at Goat Hill Park to $25 each. That's $25 for goat-a-licious Star Destroyers, Shrykes, Aviar3s, Rats and Roc3s. We'll keep running this sale until Saturday, 3/20. Help support So Cal's biggest professional disc golf tournament by buying one (or eleventy) of these discs!

BTW, some people have asked: "What's up with the green goat? Why is it green?" Here's why: In designing this year's tournament logo we wanted to have a full-color version, but we knew the artwork would be easier to re-produce on promotional items if the colors were limited in number. We chose to accent two main colors - yellow (to honor our main sponsor, Innova Disc Golf) and teal (it's the "accent color" at Goat Hill Park, so we're showing some respect there). We ended up adding a little red to Challenge's eyes to highlight his ornery attitude and the "2021" on his rear is red, as we are imagining that he was just branded (hence the ornery). And on a side-side note, our artist (Andrew Laitinen) reminded us that it's actually six colors, if you include white, black and the accent gray...

Oh...so here's the link to the Destroyers:

We had a fantastic raffle for The Challenge last year and are putting another one together for May's tournament. Top prize? Another Nate Sexton Firebird! This one is a 2021 LVC Special Edition, smoke with some nice swirls. Yes, these are the ones that are selling on auction sites for $1,000. Along with that Firebird there will be a variety of other collectible discs (Japan Open Thunderbirds or Destroyers, anyone?) along with a selection of new golf bags and other accessories. Tickets will once again be $5 apiece and we will sell them via DiscGolfU.com.

Last year the Firebird was actually won as a CTP Contest prize. We had a basket set up with about a 140ft throw for the CTP. Every raffle ticket gave you one throw for the CTP, but also served as a backup raffle ticket. This year with COVID restrictions we don't know if the CTP will be available for non-tournament players to compete, if we can't have spectators. Therefore we reserve the right to give the Firebird away as a regular raffle prize (rather than CTP) if we can't have spectators who can throw the CTP.

Watch this space - we'll have a link for the raffle ticket sales soon!
