A new year, a new start, and what a start it was! A club record turnout of 51 showed up to crowd-favourite Eddison Park, overcoming a dewey start and a steamy finish to post some impressive scores!
Jeremy Sakul-Thongbai, James Kenna, Timothy McIntyre and Matt Bradley all made their club day debuts – welcome!
We also welcomed Jindy regulars Adam, Baz and Julie, while Sydneysiders Rhys and Liam made the journey south.
Some special mentions:
- Shaun Archer for edging out the A grade win over Zac James with a -7, 27 points above his rating
- Liam Aungle for the B grade with a -5, 77 points above his rating
- Steven Khoupongsy for taking out C grade with a +5, a whopping 155 points above his rating! 🔥
- CTP winners Aaron Curtis (A grade), Angelo Arcidiacono (B grade) and Paul Jackson (C grade)
- Jade Brady and Dan Frost for splitting the scratch win at -10
- Shaun Archer for getting the only birdie on hole 16 💪
- Our dear president Adam Stewart for spending more time in the drain than he did out of it on hole 18 😆
- Jamie Belcher for coming before tee off to get his club shirt, letting himself be talked into playing club day, paying for club day, borrowing a pair of shoes, throwing practice shots, then deciding against playing at the last minute as he had washing to do at home.
What’s on next?
Looking forward, we have two club days coming up:
- John Knight Park on 28 January – register here – the ace pot is LARGE 💰🤑
- Weston Park (gold and white) on 10 February – register here (gold) or here (white)
Remember that from next club day onwards, half-priced entry is only available to members at Silver tier or above. Check out our membership options here. Silver fees are recouped after attending 3 club days, and Gold fees after just 5 club days! So, if you plan on attending more club days than that over the course of the year, it’s a no-brainer!
Membership fees strengthen the support base (helpful when approaching the government for permission/funding), and they also go a huge way to enabling us to design and install new courses, and maintain our existing ones.
Sizzler 2024
After that, we move into the final stages of preparation for the 2024 Sizzler, presented by Choices Flooring (24-26 February). For those unaware, the Sizzler is the ACT Disc Golf Championships, one of the major tournaments on the Australian Disc Golf tour. We’re expecting a full field of 144 players (including over 30 professionals) to attend, many of whom will be coming from interstate.
If you’re not planning to play in the tournament, please come out and watch some of the action. It’s always more fun to have to make a 6m putt in front of a crowd!
If you’re feeling very generous and want to volunteer your time to help make the event be the best it can be, please let us know on Facebook or shoot us an email. Volunteer roles include player check-ins, spotting, directing, course preparation, course pack-up, etc.
