Unstable Discourse Open
We ran the Unstable Discourse Open at West Park in Joliet this year. We knew we wanted to use the B Pins that were made possible by the Tournament Director Team Challenge in 2023 so Sean prepared the week leading up to the tournament by clearing the weeds and brush around said B Pins. David Eberhardt ‘Ebz’ PDGA 14504 also put in some major work that week and made Hole 6 look the cleanest its ever been.
It was a hot and humid weekend but vibes remained higher than the temperature. A lot of you hung out at tournament central and we love when y’all do that, it brings that “shot gun start community vibe” back to tournaments. Running tee times can create a separation of players but if you stick around to eat food from Truckin’ Delicious or play the putting game while the rest of your division finishes we get those glimpses of tournaments past throughout the entire day.
