Recap of The 1st Tar Creek Open

We had moderate temperatures Saturday for The first Tar Creek event. The first round was near perfect temperature for most. The afternoon heated up some, but the winds picked up and kept it comfortable.

According to locals/regulars that frequent the Veterans Disc Golf park in Miami, the course was in its best shape ever. A big thanks to the city for mowing places where they normally don’t, and making things better than normal for the tournament. A large part of this is due to Paul Marquez for doing the leg work and keeping communication with the city.

Speaking of Paul, he is ultimately the one to thank for this tournament. His vision started unfolding last year when LEAD Agency director, Rebecca Jim, asked if we could host a disc golf tournament in conjunction with their environmental conference. His excitement, enthusiasm, and willing to do what it took to make it happen was evident in every way. From course prep, to funding, free Indian Taco lunch, to players packs, he sweetened every part of this tournament. I speak for all when I say we can’t thank you enough Paul.

Paul sent a list of all the local sponsors that help make this event happen. Thank you to all involved: Basketcase Disc Golf, City of Miami, Eastern Shawnee Tribe Wellness Center, George and Frances Webb, LEAD Agency, Miami Ace-66 Hardware, Miami Laundromat Co., Neece Concrete Construction, Quapaw Farmer’s Market, Stoner Farms, and all the volunteers that have been working on this tournament.

We also want to mention our Full Send Tour 2025 sponsors as well: Elephant & Castle Fine Arms, Patriots Gold & Silver, Dynamic Discs, Innova Champion Discs, Fossa Disc Golf, Prodigy Discs, Creator Designs, MVP/Axiom Discs, Millennium Golf Discs, Discmania, Educational Disc Golf Experience, Grip EQ, Slim Chickens, 8Up, Greazy Dyes, Discs Unlimited, Swing Right Golf, Intuitive Body Works & Massage, and Sticky Dyes. Thank you for the continued support.

There were 9 divisions made up
of 45 players. Although it was a smaller field, it was a great time.

First-place results in each division are listed below:
MPO: Richard Why -17
FPO: Esmerelda -1
MP40: Yasha Koman -12
MP50: Mike Gray -6
MA40: Brad Philpott +1
MA50: Kevin Carder +8
MA60: Randy Stoner -10
MA2: Mason Henderson +9
MA3: Zach Leonard IV +4

Hottest Round of the Day:
3 players shared the 46 Hot Round: MPO Champion Richard Why, 2nd Pl MPO Logan Harpool, and MP40+ Champion Yasha Koman.

Congratulations to all players who cashed!
There were no Aces hit in the Full Send Roll Over Ace Pot, so there is now $475 in the pot for the Tom Wolfe Open.

As part of the extras at this tournament there was a Free $300 Ace Run Contest made possible by our sponsors and organized by Paul. There were no aces hit on the appropriate 185’ hole, so the three CTP winners received $100 each: Richard Why, Jay Hall, and Tom Butler.

There were three Ring of Fire putting contests as well. Each was for a signed disc by a top pro. Winners included: Brad Philpott, Ben Jelley, and Patrick
Gallardo.

In the raffle there were 3 big ticket items along with many other prizes. There was a Monkey Trapwon by Brad Hilton, a Rovic Cart won by JD Hillstead, and a Squatch Bag

Congratulations to CTP Winners:
Innova - Brad philpot
MVP - Patrick Gallardo
Trilogy - Charles Recktor

The 16th Annual Monkey Trap Open Recap

Well, it’s not a surprise that weather played a factor in another 2025 tournament. The morning started out with stormy weather bringing in lots of rain, lightning, and wind. We chose to delay start time by 45 minutes, which proved to be a good decision. Very light rain fell during the first round, and it slowly dwindled. The second round was warm and humid, but nothing like the scorcher on Friday!

I want to thank Jeff Ford owner of Patriot's Gold & Silver again for the title sponsorship. Also, a shout out to Kyle McClure of Kick'N Sound DJs for all the work on course prep and sponsoring the event!
