Silicon Valley Disc golf club's first "b" tier Pdga sanctioned tournament (year 2)
SVDGC just had a birthday recently where we celebrated 20 years as a club bringing disc golf to the south bay. In 1998 we opened a nine hole course which was first designed by none other than Tom Schot at Hellyer Park. 10 years later in 2008 we opened La Raza, just across Coyote Creek. Kelley Park is our 18 hole course which is the host site for the Mesmerize and has really shaped up nicely in the last few years. A big part of how nice the course looked for us in the Mesmerize is thanks the Ben Ruckman, our board member who oversees the maintenance of our courses. His drive to keep the courses looking nice is infectious and so many amazing individuals gave time and sweat, pushing a mower, trimming trees, and cleaning up debris. We could not have asked for a better looking course with cut fairways, areas of rough, and glorious greens. We are truly blessed with the disc golf community we have here in the south bay. So many people come together for the benefit of all. Whether that is in the form of time to cut grass and mow weeds, or coming out to the course to help spot during the tourney, or showing up to help check scorecards as players finished their round. It takes a village to run an event like this, and we have a fantastic village in San Jose!
Our 2 main sponsors for this years Mesmerize help us to supply the players with a terrific players package, and payouts for the Amateurs. Thank you to Legacy Discs and Foxtower DNA. SVDGC is excited to begin a relationship with Legacy Discs! Legacy makes some of the greatest plastic in disc golf. They are true artists perfecting the tools we can use to improve our game. We are excited to get their plastic into the hands of our local community and everyone coming out to the Mesmerize.
Our other sponsor for this years event is Foxtower DNA. Foxtower is the driving force behind the Cal Coast Series. Foxtower will provide the payouts for the amateurs, and connects us to tournament directors to help us here in San Jose in providing our players with the best experiences in competitive play. We are proud to partner with the amazing folks at both Legacy and Foxtower, and look forward to our future with both companies.
