Beautiful weather greeted 37 disc golfers at Anson B Nixon Park in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania on Oct 2, 2010. The Pro divisions consisted of 11 Open players and 6 Pro Masters. The amatuer divisions had 8 Advanced players, 3 Adv Masters, 5 Intermediate entries, and 3 women to round out the tournament.
After a quick players meeting, the groups were sent out to their holes for a 9:30 start. CTP (closest to pin) were offered up on 4 holes. Holes 3 and 5 were for all AM players with another added for the women's division. Holes 7 and 11 were the other CTP contests for all Pro's. Hole 11 CTP was best 2nd shot.
After all the players were done their second round, the Squares hosted the ever popular Ring of Fire where folks line up 25 feet around a basket and throw putts until the last person to make the putt wins a prize. Buckets and buckets of prizes were won as the scores were finalized. For the last of all the fun, all players were sent to the top of the hill to shoot aCTP contest for a beach cruiser bicycle donated by Exton Beverage Co. All players took 2 shots at the basket.

On September 27th, 2008 the Squares Disc Golf Club held a PDGA sanctioned C-tier event. This was originally scheduled for September 6, 2008 but was postponed because of Tropical Storm Hanna which brought several inches of rain that day along with many cancellations from preregistered players. A last minute call to the PDGA allowing us to reschedule was in order. Friday September 26th saw a Nor'easter threaten again but this storm ran out of steam and we were able to get the tournament off with heavy cloud cover and thick humidity.
