San Diego Aces Flex C-tier crowns winners at Kit Carson Park

Nin Chau won MPO and Megan Alathena Sotelo took FA4 as the San Diego Aces’ $5 Flex Start C-tier filled Kit Carson Park in Escondido with a division spread that ran from open to senior and amateur brackets. The Friday, June 26, 2026 event gave local players a sanctioned round without the price tag or schedule demands of a larger tournament, and the results sheet showed how deeply the format reaches across the San Diego scene.

The winners list told the story of a tournament built for breadth, not just the top line. Drake Avila won MP40, Daunty Trager took MP50, Bob Verish claimed MP75, Sonny Chattle won MA1, John McKenna won MA50, Scott Miller won MA60, Bruce Woodruff won MA70, Justin Harris took MA2, Robert Laguna won MA3, and Andrew Todd and Margarito Carrillo were listed as MA4 winners. With so many divisions represented, the San Diego Aces series again showed how a low-cost flex start can function as a proving ground for newer players while still giving established competitors a place to chase ratings and trophies.

The event was a PDGA Flex C-tier hosted by the San Diego Aces Disc Golf Club, with Allen Risley listed as tournament director. PDGA Live marked the competition complete and logged clear conditions, 68.5 degrees and about 5.01 mph wind, a clean-weather window that suited a format built around individual tee-time flexibility. That structure matters in a market like San Diego County, where work schedules, family obligations, and travel logistics can make a traditional tournament weekend harder to manage.

Kit Carson Park gives those events a reliable home. The Escondido Rotary Disc Golf Course sits in the northeast portion of a 180-acre park, with the first five holes playing over rough open space and tight OBs before the layout turns into a creek corridor lined with oaks, alders, sycamores, and manicured grass. Practice baskets near the amphitheater and a pro shop by the sports facility and skate park help make the venue practical for repeated competition, clinics, and casual rounds alike.

That regular rhythm is already visible in the calendar. Disc Golf Scene shows San Diego Aces $5 Flex Starts at Kit Carson on January 9, March 20, May 1, and May 22, 2026, along with the Kit Carson Golden Sombrero Ice Bowl on January 18. The June 26 C-tier fit neatly into that pattern, reinforcing Kit Carson Park as one of the region’s most active local hubs and another small-bid event in a sport that has been sanctioned since the PDGA was founded in 1976.
