Jon Baldwin had many friends around the world and disc golf community that he touched with his compassion, his expertise, and his photogenic eye. There are no words to describe how saddened I am that his light will never shine again. I am proud to call you my friend. May you have found that peace you desired, you were and always will be loved. For all of you out there who face daily struggles, trying to find some sort of positivity in this place where we live, I will be there for you, should you ever need it.

Let’s make the most of this time of comradery and competition in his memory.

This is the 11th Annual Maricopa Open presented by Infinite Discs.

Original plan was to play Maricopa Meadows, as it has been utilized for the past 9 years without any issues, but due to a biased HOA Board, they decided to not allow play at the private course. Copper sky requires play around other events.

Hidden Valley DGC is a temporary course on State Trust Land (BLM), which requires a permit to use for the event, $25/player will be allocated towards fees & rentals, located 20 minutes south of the city. Baskets will be installed prior to event.

Hidden Valley is a primitive rugged area requiring long hikes up and down elevations through rough terrain. There are cactus and rattlesnakes. Please be prepared.

Tournament Central: 7138 N Escondido Rd. Maricopa, AZ.

Camping is allowed and encouraged on state land for up to 2 weeks. Curtis Hall resides at tournament central which is approx. 1/4 mile from hole 1 and is offering parking for motorhomes/campers on his property.

Players Party, Bonfire and Music January 26 approx. 6 PM -10 PM (subject to change)

Payout will be performed at final round completion, minus any playoff requirements for first place ties. Personalized Trophies will be mailed to winners.

In the event of a first place tie, players must playoff following final scheduled tee time, please make sure to be available.
