Pender Island Invitational
The Pender Island Invitational (PII) is a long-running fall disc golf competition on Pender Island, British Columbia, Canada where players compete over four days in the pursuit of The Bark, and $10 Ace-Pots.
The PII is typically played in October, typically between Thanksgiving (Canada) and Halloween.
Begun in 1996 with a small group of players, the PII has evolved into an anticipated annual event, with players from across North America. From 1996 through 2012, the tournament duration was four days. Beginning in 2013, it was decided that the tournament duration can be reduced to a minimum of 3 days, depending on attendance.
The PII is played at the Golf Island Disc Park on North Pender Island, British Columbia. The course features 27 holes, with the original nine holes (now the front nine) having tone poles, and the middle and back nines having chain baskets. The course, with its many trees and rugged landscape, winds its way over and around a rocky hill just to the north of Magic Lake. The competitors require a full arsenal of shots to compete at a high level on this challenging course.
An ace is a hole-in-one in disc golf. The vast majority of holes at the Golf Island Disc Park are par-3s, and many of these are "aceable".
When a competitor aces a hole, all other players within the group must pay him $10.
The Bark is a trophy awarded to the PII Champion.
It is made from a piece of gnarled wood from an arbutus (or Pacific Madrone) tree and has the names of past champions (Keepers of The Bark) engraved upon it. The Bark was salvaged from the Golf Island Disc Park, where arbutus trees are abundant.
