Dragon Ridge Recap - May 26th, 2025
Recap of the 8th Annual Dragon Ridge Open:
This day in May started out with rain. Thankfully Dragon Ridge has a lot of tree cover so it’s a little easier to keep your discs dry. Players only had to play about 6 holes on the rain. The rest of the round was pretty nice. The second round brought the good ol' Missouri humidity. Thankfully, it was not a hot day, so the density of the air was bearable!
I’d like to make mention and thank both Innova and Dynamic Discs for giving us the equipment to make a tournament central with 6 canopies. I speak for all of us when I say we appreciate all that you both have done for us over the years!
As always, I want to thank all the people who made this tournament possible for another year running!
Thank you to the title sponsors of this tournament, Discmania & The City of Camdenton.
Thank our tournament sponsors: Flagg Electric, Triston Stark, Chroma Tattoo Collective, Fewell’s Auto LLC, Grounds Zero Guns, & Patriots Gold & Silver. Also, thank you to the people who worked hard to make sponsorships happen: River, Triston, and Justin Brammer.

In MA40, Dan Ford and Aaron Reinhardt ended Round 2 all tied up. It was Dan who won after the playoff. Congratulations Dan!
Congratulations to all players who cashed!
There were 4 ace hits in total, but only 2 were eligible for the Ace Pot. Congratulations to Triston Stark and Dallas Whittle, who split a $1,135 Ace Pot! Also, Josh Odom and Makai Matthews hit aces but were unfortunately not part of the Ace Pot. Still worth an "atta boy" for the skilled shots of these players!
