GHIDORA CHALLENEGE

The Ghidora Challenge is a multi-week event started at VCU by Corey McKenelley in 2021. Every week for 16 weeks, a course and layout are chosen by the game master, and participants aim to post their best score by playing as many rounds as they can fit in.

Each week, a scoreboard is updated ranking all participants in both the men’s and women’s divisions. By the end of the 16 weeks, playoffs are determined to dwindle down the horde, where two competitors (per division) will battle it out for the title of Ghidora Challenge Champion… or, as we like to call it, the best disc golfer in Vancouver.

Let’s lay down the rules…
