Lunch & Sponsors
Jun 1st
Quick note – Marco Polo’s will be on site on both mornings of this weekend to take food orders for those who wish to buy lunch. Orders will be taken before Round 1 and delivered to the course before the round is complete, ensuring you don’t have to worry about a brown-bag lunch in your car or trying to race out of the park and back during lunch break before round 2 begins. Take advantage and make an order! Tournament days give you enough to think about without having to worry about your lunch as well.
Long overdue is an official update on our event sponsors. Every year we say it and every year it’s true, but this event would not be anything close to what it is if we didn’t have such wonderful support from so many individuals and businesses. So now, without further ado…
- Mike Saimond – cash sponsor
- Derek “Fats” Sonderfan – CD’s donated to the player’s packs
- Brew & Wine Hobby – giftcert prize donations
- Margarita’s of East Hartford – gifrtcert prize donations
- EMS of Manchester – Kayak rental giftcert prize donations
- Willimantic Brewing Company – giftcert prize donations
- Hooters of Manchester – giftcert prize donation
- Hartford Distributors – beverage donation
- Vibram Disc Golf – ctp-per-group donation (proto granite putters)
A massive, very heartfelt “Thank You!” goes out to each and every one of them since they are the reason we have so many great prizes to give away to our players every year.

Sponsorship Update
Apr 16th
Just wanted to take a minute to thank the sponsors that have pledged their support to the Amateur Challenge this week. Can’t say it enough, sponsors are what make enable this event to give the players such a great value for their money and help us to provide everything in the Players Packs as well as amenities at Tourney Central & out on the course.
- Crafty Scientist – Dayna and Steve at “Team Crafty” have been a sponsor of nearly every (perhaps every?) ACT that has been held. Huge thanks to both of them for everything they’ve done for us in the past and moving forward! Crafty is not only donating yet another new line of soap samples to the Players Packs but we may have more surprises in store as well – plus look for Steve helping out on the course both days of the event.
- Tim “Red Beard” Griskus – What can you say? All-around great guy and a class act. Thank you Tim for your contribution to the event! Everyone should make sure to say thanks the next time they see him out on the course.
- Buried Under Comics – Brian “BUC” Kozicki is another long supporter of the ACT and, as most people in the area know, a huge supporter of disc golf in the region at large. Very rarely will you see an event with BUC in attendance – either a tournament, a local league, or perhaps the occasional round of “Glo” golf – that there isn’t a prize ready to be given away to a player on that day. Thanks as always to Buried Under!
These sponsors will be added to our sponsors’ page soon once we’ve arranged their graphics & linkage.
