SCARLETT WOODS OPEN (SWO) TOURNAMENT RECAP
January 31, 2026
Conditions: 20-40 cm of snow, extreme difficulty walking, ribbons required.
All tee pads and tee areas cleared.
Extreme cold but low wind, partially sunny.
51 players Round 1: 9:00 - 1:30
Possibly the most exhausting round of disc golf ever. Cannot explain how hard it was at times. Everyone who survived = Olympic champion.
Break 1:30 - 2:30
7 DNF withdrawals (sanity prevailing)
Problem: insufficient daylight for another marathon snow round
Solution:
Two new layouts - GOLD 13 and BLUE 13 using holes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 16, 17, 18, 10, 11, 8, 9
44 players Round 2: 2:45 - 5:30 (13 hole layouts)
95 total rounds. In that late January snowy deep freeze. Warriors. Thank goodness for the sun at moments.
