Get Ready to Tee Off at the 2014 Nantucket Disc Golf Open!

The Nantucket Disc Golf Open is one of the most anticipated events in New England's disc golf calendar, taking place on Saturday, June 28 (Pros) and Sunday, June 29 (Ams). Held at the newly designed John Houck Course, this PDGA B-Tier Event promises to be a thrilling experience for players of all levels. Located on beautiful Nantucket Island, this course is unlike any other in New England, featuring wide fairways that wind through the South Pasture of the Nantucket State Forest.

The 8,773-foot course was carefully designed by John Houck to provide a unique challenge for pros and amateurs alike. With a focus on shot-making skills and strategy, players will be pushed to their limits as they navigate the course's many twists and turns. To aid in their quest, all players will receive a comprehensive caddy book featuring full-color pictures and hole descriptions.

As an added incentive, amateur players can look forward to receiving generous player packs, complete with custom tournament discs and t-shirts designed by renowned disc golf artist Skeet Scienski. Meanwhile, pros will compete for the coveted $5,000 cash prize, as well as additional cash awards in a Caddyshack-style playoff.

But Nantucket has more to offer than just world-class disc golf. Spectators can enjoy stunning beaches, historic downtown areas, and local breweries like Cisco Brewers. And with its 501(c)(3) non-profit status, the Nantucket Disc Golf Open also provides an opportunity for players to contribute to a worthy cause – promoting youth recreational activities on the island.

Even though the pro division has sold out, there's still time to join the waiting list or register for one of the open slots in the amateur divisions. For more information and updates, be sure to check out the Nantucket Disc Golf website, Facebook page, and Twitter account.
