Schöckl Warmup 2023 is a disc golf tournament on Austrian Schöckl mountain near Graz, Styria organized by Discgolfclub Graz (DGCG).
This AmateurAustroTour event is a 1-day PDGA C-tier tournament played over 2 rounds with a shotgun start on Thursday the 18th of May 2023 (which is a public holiday: Ascension Day). The target group are players with no or a PDGA rating of <850, who are not (likely) getting a spot in the AustorTour event. However, all players are welcome - including players of the Schöckl Open 2023, who want to play two competitive rounds as warmup.
We offer following divisions:
- Gold (PDGA rating of >=970)
- Blue (PDGA Rating of <970)
- White (PDGA Rating of <935)
- Red (PDGA Rating of <900)
- Green (PDGA Rating of <850; this includes players with no PDGA rating)
As we play the standard pro layout this course is available for practice any time.
Note on player numbers:
If there are less than 3 participants in a division we will merge this division.
The Maximum number of participants is 72. Therefore the maximum flight size is 4 players.
Wildcards will be distributed by discretion of the TDs.
Course
Details to the layouts can be found on UDisc or Disc Golf Metrix.
Layout
Alpine Terrain (1400m sea level) is waiting for you.
The course layout is the standard, permanent pro-layout with a Par 59 and 1921m (it is not the same layout as played during the AustroTour event Schöckl Open 2023 - however some holes are identical).
