Score: 0 / 5

We are back at Hancock Golf Course for the 8th year, and looking forward to another Waterloo Disc Golf Classic. This will be the 43rd straight year of this historic tournament. Last year's event raised $10,700 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Texas (RMH), bringing our grand total donation to RMH to over $146,000!With all the pandemic craziness going on it will likely be a very different Waterloo this year. We don't yet know what everything will look like as conditions are changing rapidly, and will probably continue to change the rest of the summer and into the fall. However, the club will work hard to make it possible for players to have fun rounds on a couple of great courses, to raise lots of money for RMH, and try to keep players and staff safe and healthy.BE PREPARED FOR CHANGES. BE READY TO BE FLEXIBLE.One thing that we know will be changing is that everyone will play just 2 rounds for singles: round 1 on Saturday and round 2 on Sunday; and we will be doing tee times each of those days.We do still plan on having doubles on Friday, October 16th, but it too will likely be different this year. Details on that will come closer to the event.ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR SINGLES RETURNS THIS YEAR!If last year is any guide, spots will go FAST.Beginning at 3pm on Sunday, July 19th, you can sign up as a Father Dave McC-Note Challenger on the Disc Golf United (DGU) registration site. The event is not yet published on the site (so don’t bother looking for it just yet), but when it does go up we will post a copy of the link here.And… regular registration will be done online through DGU also. More info about that coming soon, and it will likely go really fast too.In case you aren’t familiar with it, here is how the Father Dave McC-Note Challenge works:Register for the tournament on DGU for $125 now. Your spot in the tournament is guaranteed. When fees for the different divisions are set, we will deduct from your $125: your entry fee; ace pot; and non-active pdga fee (if applicable).All the money left goes directly to the charity. For the past five years at Hancock, we have averaged 131 "McC-Noters", which added an average of $3,515 each year to the total charitable donation!You will also receive a special McC-Note Goodie in your player’s package.To clarify something that comes up occasionally: this money saves “your” spot, not “a” spot. Once the tournament fills up and there is a waitlist, if you have to cancel you can’t just give your spot to someone else. As with any cancellation, the spot goes to the next person on the waitlist.Thanks,Waterloo Disc Golf Clubp.s. Waterloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
