Disc golf enthusiasts are invited to compete in a series of five tournaments -- a total of 90 holes -- that will celebrate the 90th anniversary of Michigan state parks this summer. The first tournament begins on Saturday, Aug. 2, at Newaygo State Park, with more events scheduled through the end of October.

Participants can play in one or all five of the tournaments. Points will be awarded accordingly. Prizes will be awarded at each of the five tournaments, with a grand prize presented at Sleepy Hollow State Park.

There is a $5 entry fee per tournament, which will support the awards for the top three finishers of each tournament.
