And just to clarify; Discraft will let you do this anytime in Aug, Sep, Oct. Set entry of $25. So far there is one in August in Athens and one in October in Jackson. Lots of options still open. Maybe the ticks won't be as hungry by then

Ron,
I was not saying this needed to be a WCDGC "sanctioned" event as it were. I was trying to gauge the interest of members. There has been a lot of interest from other courses to host the event. I am not opposed to Liberty, but wanted to see what would bring the most people and generate the most buzz. I did go play Fontanel this weekend and it has some obvious concerns for an event like this, but has several things that Liberty would not have(Parking, Facilities, etc.)
My main concern is the wooded section of Fontanel is pretty much unfriendly for ace runs of any sort on at least 2 holes.
That being said...it is a beautiful course and so far has had extremely flexible management. I will keep you posted as I get call backs from the other municipal and WC courses.

I would guess that the Nashville area could easily host 3 or 4 -- spread out amongst the 3 months. Many (including me and Ryan) would attend as many as we could.
And yes, WCDGC would like to host one ourselves.

www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=200073356720610Discraft Ace Race scheduled for Oct.29 @ Sanders Ferry. Players pack can be pre-purchased for the event at Cloud 9 for $25. According to them, it comes with the 2 protoypes: one Pro D and one ESP- this year is a putter prototype. The ace-attempt holes will be set from about 75ft to about 125ft or so. These events are a lot of fun, and having a prototype is really cool, and the collector's factor is through the roof maximized. "Nice first run disc... too bad my prototype trumps your first run. Pre-production, sucka'!" The players' packs usually come with a T-shirt, the disc(s)- 2 in this case... and they may even come with a small golf bag according to Cloud9... but no promises on that just yet- that's all up to Discraft.
