2/4-5 Texas High School Disc Golf Championships

Disc Golf is not currently organized by the athletic/academic/activity organizing body of Texas, the UIL, or the University Interscholastic League. High school students do not have the option to play disc golf "for" their high school... until now!

Tournament creator Matt Ryan started the Texas High School Disc Golf Championships for this very purpose. The tournament (a PDGA sanctioned, B-Tier event) will be held this year in Houston, TX, February 4th and 5th, 2012. While students won't be competing for a UIL state championship, they are competing for bragging rights of Individual State Champ as well as the team title. This is a PDGA Sanctioned event, but you do not have to be a PDGA member to play. We welcome all who are current High School, or Home School equivalent who are under 19 years of age.
