The Dragan Disc Golf Classic is now in its twelfth year and marks a full return to the classic one-day, noon start format for which the tournament is famous.  The motto this year is "back to basics"...basic format, basic pricing, basic good fun.

As a PDGA B-tier event, the pro purse will have a minimum of $500 added, with the possibility of even more.  Twenty spots will be reserved for the Pro Open & Pro Women's divisions through May 19, 2012.  After that, if any of those twenty spots remain, they will opened up on a first-come, first-served basis.

With the return to a one-day format, the player capacity for the event has been reduced to just 72 players.  Past DDGCs have sold out in advance, and with fewer available spots, this year should be no different.

Online and by mail pre-registration will open on February 1, 2012.  Mark that date and don't miss out on your chance to take part in what has annually been the biggest PDGA event in Maine.

Once again, the DDGC is an official qualifying tournament for the Vibram Open National Tour event to be held August 16-19, 2012 in Leicester MA.  At least two spots will be up for grabs to the top finishing players, regardless of division, who opt in to qualifying.  Interested players must pay a $10 qualification fee for the opportunity, and must not be otherwise qualified or registered for the Vibram Open in order to compete.

Who wants to play the Yetter?

The 2012 DDGC Pro Open, Pro Women, and Advanced champions will earn a PAID spot in the Eric C Yetter Champions Cup PDGA Supertour event in Newtown PA on September 8-9.  A partnership that began at the 2006 Yetter, Jeremy Koling, Catrina Allen, and Eric Eichhorst can play the 2012 DDGC free of charge courtesy of winning the 2011 Yetter Champions Cup.
