Recap of the 13th Annual North Ark Open spomsored by Elephant & Castle:

We made it through a week of storms, and the spring rains stayed away for this tournament! We had partly cloudy skies and winds that could make or break your putt in an instant!

A big shout out to Doug Bowen, owner of
elephant & Castle, our Title Sponsor. It was great seeing him out competing despite his knees wreaking havoc with him. A second place finish wasn’t to shabby! Thanks for
The many years of support.

A huge thank you to our Full Send Tour sponsors: 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

Big thanks to Matt Bell, Director of Explore Harrison for the continued support for this event, and the North Ark College maintenance crew for keeping the course in top condition! Thank you also to all those who came out to play, donated, or participated in the raffle to raise money for the EDGE program.
