The Tuscaloosa 2 Tulsa Two-Step Tournament will be hosted at the Ol' Colony Disc Golf Course on June 29, with a cost of $50 per team.

Proceeds will help two local juniors — Jack Berry and Warren Pate — cover the cost to travel to Tuscaloosa for the biggest junior event in the sport.

As Patch previously reported, Northport native Jack Berry won both the putting state championship and the MJ15 title last August during the 2023 Alabama Junior Disc Golf Championship, while Pate finished second in the MJ15 category.

Each participant will receive a custom tournament-stamped disc with their entry fee and there will also be raffle items and closet-to-pin prizes for every division.

Organizers said raffle tickets are available at a discounted rate before the tournament and will be $2 each on the day of the tournament.
