I am back from my weekend at Gyroaplooza. What a weekend. I have all kinds of goodies to get on the shelves for all of you; some I cannot sell until this Friday, I do believe, as I am waiting to hear back for confirmation. So stop on in and see what I brought back.

We will be opening a little late today. More around 12pm today. Had a situation come up.

Thanks for the understanding

Good morning.

Wanted to reach out and let everyone know there has been a change to this Saturday tryout schedule.

We are pushing everything back to a start time of 2:30pm. The reason why you might ask.

I finally got out and played Wickers Ridge this weekend and meet the owner of the property. He is an awesome man and we are going to be working on events being held there next year. So there is a fundraising doubles tournament there Sat.

So I want everyone to be able to play that and make tryouts too. The tournament should be done by 1pm and that gives everyone time to get to Vira in plenty of time. So with that being said let get that placed filled and show support for an awesome course. Here is the 2 links to both events

Wickers Ridge Halloween Doubles Tournament is a Disc golf doubles tournament in Athens, Michigan beginning October 17, 2026 and hosted by Wickers Ridge.

The time has come. We are forming a team with a twist. We are always looking for the next evolution in everything we do, so this is no different. We will have two different levels while still being one big team.

One side will be a community team, and for this, we are looking for people of all talent levels who enjoy playing casually, weekly leagues, weekly dubs, and fundraiser tournaments in and around the area, rather than the tournament side of the sport.

The other side is our competitive team; for this, we are looking for people who enjoy playing in sanctioned tournaments, ranging from C-tiers to Majors, both local and those that require travel.

With that being said, we will be holding tryouts for the team on October 17th at 10 a.m. at Vira. This is free to participate in and will be on Disc Golf Scene by the end of the day. There will be two options to sign up for. The community team will be playing one round of random dubs, and the competitive team will be playing two rounds of match play.

Participation is not a requirement to make the team; if you cannot make it because you are already playing in an event that day, we understand, and you will need to set up a time to meet with us for an interview so we can explain our expectations.

To ensure this partnership is mutually beneficial, please note that while we welcome individuals sponsored by disc manufacturers, we must be able to promote your manufacturer for the arrangement to be viable. Furthermore, applicants must not be planning to seek sponsorship from any other shop or local team

Good morning.
Today, the new MVP drop hits the shelves. We finally have the Streamline Autopilot (Eagle) S.E. in all three firmnesses, the Neutron Echo (Silas World Champion) S.E., as well as the stock release of the Fission Dimension, Fission Orbital, and the PLC release of the Terra.

We have also been receiving questions about forming a team and will have some exciting news about that later today, so stay tuned.

Good morning, everyone.

Today is the last day for sanctioned league rounds for the year at Kimball Pines. Yes, it is going to be an off-and-on day of very light rain. The forecast for 5 p.m. is .03, 6 p.m. is .01, 7 p.m. is .01, and 8 p.m. is .01, so it will be good weather to golf in. Check in from 4pm to 550pm. We are getting dark quicker and quicker. So be on time and ready to throw once you get there.

Thank you to everyone who has come out and played this year. We will be doing it again next year with spring, summer, and fall leagues.

Also, I have emailed all winners from this weekend's dubs tournament; your accounts have been set up and your store credit is in your accounts. You can come into the store to get what you want or order online through our website. You just need to log in or create an account with the email address that was provided. You can choose to pick up in-store or have items shipped to you.
