Logistics

Schedule details are still being finalized, but the Individual Tournament begins on Saturday, October 19th at 8:30am. We anticipate that the 18-hole preliminary round will finish around 12:30pm, with the 9-hole finals beginning by 2:00pm. The Team Tournament will begin on Sunday, October 20th at 8:30am with the finals to follow at around 1:00pm. There is also a putting competition on Friday evening. For the full schedule click here.

The tournament will begin early on Saturday so if you are coming from out of town, you will need to arrive by Friday. We encourage participants to arrive early and play a practice round at one or both of the two courses. Also, there will be activities on Friday evening (e.g., putting competition), with details to be announced.

Absolutely. Family and friends are welcome to attend and cheer on the participants. Massanutten Resort also has plenty of activities for families. If you have kids coming that are FlingGolfers, consider entering them in the Junior Tournament on Friday evening.

Although there are many lodging options in the area, for convenience and quality we strongly recommend staying at Massanutten Resorts where the tournament will be held. They have offered our group 15% off all lodging from Oct 13-25th using promo code FLINGGOLFOPEN24. Click here for more information.

There will not be organized practice rounds, but you can schedule tee times at either course at the Massanutten Resort. Discounted rates for 18 holes should be available at either course.

The Tournament

There will be cash prizes for the Individual Events in all 3 divisions (Men's, Women's and Masters). The amount of the cash prize is based on the number of registrants and will be announced the week of the Tournament. The Individual Tournament will also have trophies and medals for the winner and top finalists, respectively. Although there is no cash prize for the Doubles Tournament, it awards the "fling bling" to its winners and medals to the Top Finalists.

There will also be additional awards, including an award for Top Newcomer and Top Military.

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. In addition to posting on this page, we will send out any updated rules to registered players as soon as they are made.

Click here for the scorecards of Mountain Greens and Woodstone Meadowsused at the 2023 Virginia FlingGolf Open. Although there may be some tweaks/changes, we anticipate that the tee placements will be very similar to what was used last year. We will be using specific WLF tee markers to mark the tee locations for men (Blue), women (Yellow) and Seniors (Red) divisions.

Yes. Golf carts may be used throughout the tournament and they are included within the registration fees. Given the altitude on the Mountain Green course and the distance between holes on the Woodstone Meadows course, we are requiring use of the carts.

Definitely Not. This is meant to be a more casual and fun event and we encourage all FlingGolfers to participate. We anticipate that many participants will be "unpaired" and we will pair you with another FlingGolfer for the tournament.

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 the tournament events.

Collared shirts are not required and you may wear shorts and other casual wear. However, we do ask that you dress in a neat and presentable manner.

We anticipate that there will be some filming, although it is likely that it will be used more for promotional or documentary use rather than a specific televised segment.

As long as you turn 55 in the 2024 calendar year (i.e., born before 1/1/1970), even if it is after the Virginia FlingGolf Open, you are eligible for the Masters Division.
