Jared, sorry I can't make it this year. I already have Braves tix for that day. For those of you who haven't played the "Herm" yet, you need to try to make this tourney. It is a fun course to play. Jared does a fine job at running the event. The lunch choices are great also. Have fun and get a little crazy at the May Day Madness.

Thanks
May Day Madness II went well with an increase of registered players. Thank you to Papa Johns’ Pizza of Watkinsville for sponsoring and providing our players lunch. Also, Thank You to Innova Disc Golf for their sponsorship, and to Blue Sky custom apparel for this year’s tournament logo design. Thank you to DonL Bearden for all your work Co-Directing this tournament . Thanks to the Oconee Leader for coming out to check out the event - hopefully DG gets some good coverage! Thank you to all those that came out to participate this year! Tournament stories Last year’s tournament hosted 53 players and in 2009 we had 56 players registered. Despite a few minutes of heavy rain the weather was great for Disc Golf. The primary drive behind OCPRD hosting a Tourney is to promote the sport of Disc Golf and encourage more recreational playing of the sport. Two Side Stories #1 As a result of this year’s tournament there was a family of five among others that turned out as spectators for the event who inquired about the sport during and afterward. They purchased discs for most of members in the family. The family group began to play the HERM Disc Golf Course after the event was over. On Sunday afternoon they were spotted returning for a few rounds of family Disc Golf.
#2 Jade and Gavin, the 2009 U10 Boy and Girl Champions also created possibly a Disc Golf Tournament first. They added to the completion by occasionally challenging each other to a foot race from the end of a hole to the next Tee Box.
