Oxbow Disc Golf Club Lights Up the Night with an Innovative Tournament!
Get ready for some stellar news, disc golf fans! Recently, the Oxbow Disc Golf Club pulled off an exciting nighttime tournament called the MVP Space Race, and let’s just say it was anything but ordinary! With glowing discs and an enthusiastic crowd, this event turned the park into a cosmic playground for amateur and experienced players alike.
A New Twist to an Old Favorite
The MVP Space Race brought a fresh twist to the game we all know and love. Instead of traditional disc golf, players aimed for aces—or as you may know them, hole-in-ones—under beautiful shimmering lights. The event featured shorter baskets and closer tee-offs, making it even more thrilling as participants chased that elusive ace. Not only did players score points for getting aces, but they also earned points for hitting the chains or even landing on the basket. If they missed their initial shot, a follow-up putt had the chance to earn them an extra point, keeping everyone on their toes!
A Community Event That Shone Bright
This entertaining night attracted an impressive 33 players out of the 36 available spots, showing just how popular and thrilling the Oxbow Disc Golf Club has become! In a fantastic community effort, leftover discs from this incredible event were sold to the participating players, giving them a piece of the action to take home. For those who couldn’t get enough of the nighttime fun, the club is even sharing the love by offering glow disc golf equipment for sign-out, paving the way for more evening players to experience the joy of disc golf when the sun goes down.
Shoutout to Our Amazing Sponsors!
Of course, none of this would be possible without the kindness of sponsors like Absolute Locating, Leeway Mechanical, Taylor’s Electric, Sandugo Bistro, and JF Custom Creation. Their support helped make the MVP Space Race such a lively and memorable experience for everyone involved.
