The Southern Minnesota Disc Golf Association is hosting a disc golf tournament at Bancroft Bay Park on Saturday.

The Albert Lea Open is expected to attract disc golfers from southern Minnesota, northern Iowa and even the Twin Cities.

The tournament will be two 18-hole rounds. Sign up is from 8 to 9:15 a.m. at the course. The players’ meeting is at 9:45 a.m. Tee time is 10 a.m. There will be a one-hour lunch break between rounds.

The fee for the open division (for the pro players or those wanting to compete at a pro level) is $35, advanced $25; intermediate $15; junior $15; recreational $15. The maximum players is set at 90.

The Albert Lea Open is organized by Austin-based J&J Disc Golf. For every entrant, $1 will go toward the Flying Lea Disc Golf Club’s effort to raise $6,000 for new baskets at Bancroft Bay Park.

The club began the drive in March and passed the $1,000 mark this week. Attendance has been higher than ever during league, which is 4 p.m. Sundays.
