Absolutely. Family and friends are welcome to attend and cheer on the participants, free of charge.

To be close to the course, we would recommend staying in Greely, Loveland or Fort Collins. There are many hotels in the area and Air BnBs are also a good option.

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.

The Tournament

There will also be awards for each event, including an award for Top Newcomer, Top Military and Top Senior (63+).

The tournament will follow the World League FlingGolf (WLF) Official Tournament Rules, including the Event Format and Associated 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-June. In addition to posting on this page, we will send out any updated rules to registered players as soon as they are made.

Boomerang Links is an 18-hole course. Click here for the hole by hole pars and yardages (scorecard coming soon). PLEASE NOTE: While, as a general rule the men will play from the White Tees and the women will play from the Red Tees, it is likely that the tees and yardages will be modified by WLF to optimize play for FlingGolf. We will be using specific WLF tee markers to mark the tee locations for men and women.
