Just received word that the city will allow camping at Schlanger Park and will keep the restrooms open for use Friday night. Also we are in the works of having personalized towels and neoprene koozie for players that preregister before July 25th with your name and pdga # if a member. Hope to have pics tomorrow.

In 2008 I picked up my first disc and ever since I dreamed of having a challenging 18 hole course installed in Pittsburg KS. A year later the PITT Disc Golf Club was formed and in 2010 the innagural PITT Open began to blossom. After four years of playing and enjoying the sport of disc golf I’m proud to announce that Pittsburg KS will be getting 18 Monkey Traps installed in Schlanger Park for this years 3rd Annual PITT Open. Concrete tee pads, signs and other additions will follow late summer into early fall as a result of two grants that were received for this new course. I would like to thank the City of Pittsburg Parks and Rec, Russ Burns and anyone else that has helped in making this dream a reality. Like some great events already in Kansas (i.e Glass Blown Open) we have started off small and continue to grow each and every year. We hope you join us this year as we prepare to make this the best PITT Open to date as we have dreams to take it one step further next year. Thanks for your Support!

Names came in fast and furious this morning since the time I rolled out of bed. We are full as of 10am. I'm trying to get the pdga list updated as we speak now. We have a waitlist in case anyone drops out. Thanks

Good news,

I've added a third extra hole and we will have one ghost card to allow us to max out at 110 players. everyone that called me and wanted on the wait list is now in with 2 spots remaining. Then another wait list will begin. WOW, thanks to all the players that have signed up for their support! I truly appreciate it.
