Recap of the 16th Annual Jared Hilton Memorial Open:

Similar to last year we started the day with the Pro and Advanced players starting on the Jared Hilton Memorial course, and all other divisions starting on the Winfrey course. It was a faithful day with moderate temperatures. I will take that kind of weather in June any time!

First and foremost I want to thank all the people who helped set up the course and tear everything down. This often gets over looked, but is a huge part of every tournament. From the Wyota Chain Banger Club, to Team Monkey, to all the players who just came up and asked if we needed help, we appreciate your all your efforts! Brad and Rollin, thank you both for keeping us hydrated and getting all the last minute things done! Brad your Raffle did not disappoint!

Thank you to the title sponsors of this tournament: Missouri Eagle, Elephant & Castle Fine Arms, and Slim Chickens. Thank you also to our manufacturer sponsor Innova Champion Discs for custom discs!

Thank you to our tournament sponsors as well: Mike-Red Dragons, Chris Ryan, Angela Adkins, Brad Hilton, Court Probationary Services Inc., Lowe’s Home Improvement, Hanna Hills, and All-Rite Fabrication.
