This one is a little different. The tournament is called "Deuces Wild" because the player in each division (minimum 3 players per division) that scores the most deuces will win a special players pack, regardless of where they place in the tournament.
This tournament plays one round at Westpark, and one round at Highland Park. Both parks are very close to each other, so travel time shouldn't be much of an issue. Having one round at each park should keep it interesting all day long.
The players are to meet at the pavilion above hole 8 at Westpark on both days.
Pre-registration closes at 9pm Friday, July 9th. Registration the day of the event is an additional $5. Pre-registration is available at www.acesandchains.com
Tentative Schedule:
Saturday: Jr divisions, Recreational, Advanced
Sunday: Novice, Intermediate, Pro Open
Registration will be open from 8am-9am both days. Players meeting at approx. 9:15am, and tee off at approx. 9:30am both days.

We meet at the pavillion above hole 8 at Westpark, which is off wheeler street.
Maps will be provided in your players pack showing the best route between the two parks.
I will be awarding the sweetest trophies I've ever seen for both of my tournaments this year. The trophy is a custom wood replica of an actual golf disc complete with the tournament stamp, division played, and text saying 1st place.
I've attached a pic of the trophy for Chain Reaction prior to finishing. It will look even better once the finish is put on. Deuces Wild will have the same trophies, only with the Deuces Wild stamp on them.
Check it out and tell me......wouldn't that look great on your wall?
Get those pre-registrations in! It'll cost you an additional $5 to register the day of the event, so save yourself some dough. This also helps registration flow smoothly if more players pre-register.
I'll start updating the registration list again later this week.
A little more info:
Pros will play blue tees at Highland, and long tees at Westpark
All Ams will play white tees at Highland, and short tees at Westpark.
Pros will be playing Highland Park for the first round, and Westpark for round two.
All other divisions course schedules will be determined prior to the player meeting and announced then.
Regardless, everyone meets at the pavillion above hole 8 at Westpark. The pavillion is off Wheeler Ave.
