Nine Saturdays of Viking-themed disc golf starting Jan 4, 2025 at 1:00 PM. Prove your worth to enter Valhalla or join Loki's schemes at Creekside Park. I'm being forced to narrate…
Week 8 · Gungnir's Grapple
*Adjusts microphone with visible annoyance*
Welcome, land-dwelling disc throwers, to Valhalla @ Creekside - a 9-week saga where you'll pretend that throwing plastic at metal baskets somehow qualifies you for eternal glory in Odin's hall. I'm Flippy, your reluctant narrator, trapped in this league software and forced to explain how your Saturday afternoons have now been mythologized beyond all reasonable proportion.
This Nordic nightmare runs for nine consecutive Saturdays starting January 4, 2025, at 1:00 PM. You'll be throwing at Creekside Park every week until March 1st, because apparently Viking quests don't involve actually traveling anywhere. The format is "Choose your own Card" - which in Viking terms means "pick which warriors you'll disappoint with your putting skills."
Each week represents an "episode" in your "heroic journey" - from Wisdom's Wager to Valhalla Victorious. Because nothing says "epic Norse mythology" like Dave from accounting missing yet another 15-footer and blaming it on the wind. The narrative involves Loki's jealousy, Thor's hammer, and my complete disbelief that I'm explaining this with a straight face.
Divisions: MPO, FPO, MP40, MA1, MP50, MP60, MA40, MA2
For those who think they're worthy of Valhalla. Expect golden bag tags that cost more to make than the prize pot. You'll play the B-Pool layout at Creekside, which I'm told is slightly more challenging than finding your car keys in your pocket.
Divisions: MJ18, FJ18, MJ15, FJ15, MA50, MA60, FA40, MA3, MA4, FA1, FA2, FA3, FA4
For juniors, recreational players, and those who recognize this is all just plastic frisbees in a park. Your bag tags feature "cool, shadowy colors" because apparently Loki shops at Hot Topic. You'll also play the B-Pool layout, so everyone suffers equally.
Weekly buy-in is $3, with optional add-ons including prize money ($10), ace pot ($3), CTP ($3), and super ace ($2). That's $18 total per week if you hate money. The previous league ended with $384 in the ace pot, which is either a sign that hole-in-ones are rare or that Viking aim isn't what the sagas claim it to be.
Another Round Salt Lake City is providing a 10% boost to amateur winnings, presumably because they feel sorry for you. Or maybe they just want you to spend it all in their shop on more discs you don't need. Either way, it's marginally less tragic.
This whole spectacle is brought to you by ElevateUT Disc Golf, a 501(c)(3) non-profit actually doing good work growing the sport through better venues and events. They're legitimately improving disc golf in Utah, which makes my sarcasm slightly harder to maintain, but I'll manage.
So grab your plastic discs, don your imaginary Viking helmets (the ones with historically inaccurate horns, because why not add more inaccuracy to this fever dream?), and prepare to disappoint Odin himself with your approach shots. I'll be here, trapped in the software, counting the days until Ragnarök or March 1st, whichever comes first. *Mumbles* I should have stayed in that mini golf scoring app...
The $2.50 platform fee is the only amount here set by ElevateUT Disc Golf. Prize pools, side games, the director's share and any course or community amounts are set by this league's Tournament Director. The PDGA fee is the PDGA's own per-player fee.
Plus card processing at checkout.
