There will be hot food available both days.

Things to expect if you dare to play in this gig.
A physical workout
No flat holes
Lots of poison oak
Some mushy tees (we're working on some of them)
Some water OB
Some road OB
A few 600' plus holes
Chances of very many pros (if any) ending up par after 2 rounds

Things you'll miss if the above sounds like more than you want to endure.
Lions roaring while you nail your putt
Hyenas laughing when you chunder
A few 600' plus holes
Some brand new holes
Beautiful views no matter what
The whole experience

I hope my 1st post hasn't scared anyone away that thought they might attend.
It's sort of a diamond in the rough at this point, with a very good chance of 1, 2 maybe even 3 permanent course's going in.
This is truly one of the most unique disc golfing experiences around.
Lots of prizes for Am day and possibly some added dinero for Pro day.
There will also be a raffle to try and raise funds for the Safari.
SOWS golfers have raised $200 so far.
Whoever has the most throws decide's which animal/department the funds go to.
Unless it dries up a bit, camping on site may NOT be an option.

I heard a rumor that ams and adv. golfers can play both days, if they want to pay pro entry on pro day? Would be a good lesson for any golfers that want to see what the competition is like. The course is going to be best in the 4 years I've been playing this event! Hope to see a lot of you north state golfers. I understand if the chance of getting eaten by a lion or gourd by a rhino would scare you off not to mention, some of the hardest golf shots or course walking, or natural tee pads you will ever play. Some of the views we will see out does whistlers, just something about tee off and seeing a lion, or elk, or rhino, etc.

Now Brant don't pick on the golfers from north of us. I know most of them are spoiled and soft

, some of them are pretty good.
