The WLF is coming back to the American Classic Golf Club in Lewes, DE for the 2nd stop on the 2023 Tour. The first national FlingGolf tournament took place last year at American Classic and a segment on the tournament was televised by ESPN in August 2022.
The tournament will consist of two separate events drawing the top FlingGolf players from across the US:
The individual tourney features the best FlingGolfers in the country battling it out for the top prize. After an 18-hole preliminary round, the top finishers will play in a 9 hole playoff to decide the winner. There will be separate divisions for men and women.
Teams of two FlingGolfers will play alternate shots to see who gets crowned as the top FlingGolf duo. A 9-hole final will follow the 18-hole preliminary round.
In another first, Friday night will feature the first ever junior 6-hole tournament for kids 8-16 years old. Prizes will be awarded to the top FlingGolfers in both junior (8-12 years old) and teen (13-16 years old) divisions
Prizes will also be awarded for the Top Newcomer (first WLF tournament) and Top Military (active, reserve or veteran) in the Individual Tournament.

It may be cheaper to ship your FlingsStick to your hotel than check it on an airplane. Check with your hotel about their shipping policy.
There will be cash prizes for the Individual and Team Events. The Individual Tournament will also have a separate cash prize for the Women's division.
There will also be awards for each event, including an aware for Top Newcomer and Top Military.
The tournament will follow the World League FlingGolf (WLF) Official Tournament Rules for the New Swarm FlingGolf Classic. Click here for the official tournament rules. PLEASE NOTE: the rules may be modified or updated up until the beginning of Tournament play. We anticipate several rule clarifications will be issued in mid-to-late April. In addition to posting on this page, we will send out any updated rules to registered players as soon as they are made.
American Classic is a 9-hole course that you play slightly differently on the front and back nine. Here is a scorecard for the Front and the Back. The tees have been optimized for both men and women FlingGolfers.
Only New Swarm/FlingGolf FlingSticks may be used, without custom modifications other than the use of a Putting Slug or customized grips.
This will be a "pure" FlingGolf event so only one FlingStick may be used.
You may use any regulation golf ball for either event.
Collared shirts are NOT required and you may wear shorts and other casual wear. However, since it may be filmed for television and/or sponsored 1) we ask that you dress in a neat and presentable manner and 2) there may be additional restrictions or guidelines on logos.
While it is currently not anticipated that the event will be filmed for national distribution, there may be a local film crew filming all or part of the event. In addition, we anticipate there being other representatives of the local media.

"We do golf a little differently than your average golf course…. We have 9 holes instead of 18. We name our sandwiches after rock n’ roll kings. We enjoy wearing “LOUD” clothes… AND we like to deck out our golf carts in American flags. The course is both fun and challenging; we have water, sand and an island green on hole 6."
