Topher Soquet – College Disc Golf

Nationality: United States
Position: IGNORE THIS OPTION
Current Team: ALABAMA-HUNTSVILLE

Hailing from small town Wisconsin, Soquet is a right hand backhand dominant player with flat ground distance topping out around 425 feet. Alongside that is an array of scramble shots, including thumbers, tomahawks, forehand rollers, scoobers, and scramble forehands with both the right and left hands. Born as a natural lefty, a left handed backhand is in the works to complete the arsenal of shots in the bag. To round out his game, Topher is a strong putter, primarily using a straddle spin putt inside the circle and a jump putt not dissimilar to Kevin Jones outside of 10 meters. Raised on wooded courses, Soquet is a scrappy golfer who can slip out of tricky situations with aplomb and hit putts from anywhere in the circle to keep the scorecard clean.

I'm interested in competing, what about a team?

You need 2 players for a Women’s team and 4 for all other divisions. The women’s division is the only field at the National Championship offered for individuals to compete.

Find your team page here. If you see your school listed there, reach out to us or fill out the form on the team’s page for your captain or leader’s information. If you do not see your school listed there, reach out to us and we’ll create your team page and help get you started!

How do we play in CDG events?

Conference events are open for anyone to participate! Find an event you’re interested in and register your team to compete!

Regionals require current College Disc Golf membership. Have you reached out to us? You need a team page and login before you can join and renew your CDG membership. After your join, your team can compete in any Regional event.

What does a CDG event consist of?

College Disc Golf events are organized and ran by volunteers that range from Tournament Directors with PDGA Major experience to students running their first events. There are two main types of events – conference play (league like play, more casual events) and Regionals (more competition focused events that require CDG membership and where you earn your invite to the CDGNC). All CDG Regionals are PDGA sanctioned and consist of at least round of team alternating shot doubles and singles play. More scoring and format information. Event format and layouts are determined by the TD for that event. Events can be one or two days. Find a qualifier near you – event map and schedule.

Do you need to play a Regional to play in the National Championship?

No, you do not need to qualify to compete. If you are interested in competing in Division 3 (DIII) or the Women’s Division, you do not need to qualify. Only teams interested in competing in Division 1 (DI) or Division 2 (DII) need to qualify.

To qualify, earn your invite by being one of the highest placing teams without a bid at any Regional on the schedule!

How do we qualify for DI or DII?

Only teams interested in competing in Division 1 (DI) or Division 2 (DII) need to qualify. To qualify, earn your invite by being one of the highest placing teams without a bid at any Regional on the schedule!

Example: results and bids for an event with 3 bids to DI and 3 bids to DII.

Step-by-step

Do you already have a team page on the site? If so, follow the steps below!

Step 1 - Player Page & Account

Every player needs a player page and an account.

Players, are you listed on the team’s page? If not, reach out to your team’s leader to create a page and an account.

Team leaders, login and navigate to your team’s page to create new players.

Step 2 - Membership

Regionals require a CDG membership to participate.

Players, do you see the current season’s membership on your account page? If not, there is not a membership assigned to your account. Reach out to your team leader to assign a membership or purchase one yourself.

Team leaders, players can purchase memberships individually or you can purchase them and assign them. To assign them, navigate to your account page and click the team name you’d like to manage. Using the same email that was used during the player creation process, you can assign players to the team. You can also share a link with them to access the team.

*Team designation/assignment does not matter for memberships. The teams on your “My Account” page are for membership purposes only. A “Team” will be created each time you make a purchase. Players do not need to all be on the same team, everyone just needs a membership assigned to their account.

Step 3 - Roster

Teams must submit a roster before competing in a Regional.

Team leaders, download and complete the roster form. You will have to submit the roster to your registrar for verification. Please plan accordingly.
