A massive 41 players made up the field on the latest instalment of club day at John Knight Park.
Some new players joined in the action – Dan Buttress, Josh Sargent and Timothy McIntyre – welcome!
Special mentions of the day:
- Ryan Goad for taking out A grade with a sublime -13 (40 points above his rating)
- Carol Hartley for winning B grade with an absolutely clinical bogey-free -6 (a massive 125 points above her rating and a new PB)
- Tim Potter for cleaning up C grade with an astonishing -4 (a gargantuan (I’m running out of adjectives here) 152 points above his rating)
- Ryan Goad and Dan Frost for splitting the scratch pot with a couple of -13s
- Honourable mentions to Tony (+2, +131pts), Jeremy Sakul-Thongbai (+1, +128pts), Tony Mumford (+10, +111pts) and Harry Murray (-10, +106pts) for their fantastic rounds
- Joshua Conroy and Peter Bligh for taking the only birdies on hole 14 – well done!
- Hole 14 for claiming 9 OB strokes 👿
- The 💸ace pot💸 for surviving yet another club day at John Knight Park, and all the OB strokes that were taken in vain (I’m looking at you Zac) (this is a direct copy-paste from the December club day 🤣)
Join us for the next club day at Weston Park on 10 February – register here (gold) or here (white). It’ll be a good chance to get in some practice for the Sizzler (noting the Sizzler layout contains quite a few modifications – see below).
Memberships
If you haven’t done so already, consider becoming a member for access to cheaper club days! 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
We’re now very much moving 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.
