The Freedom Memorial

In honor of our vets, Essential Discs ran a tournament called The Freedom Memorial last year on Memorial Day. There was a small showing but enough to make it worth an annual event. In addition, As a Thank You; We are cutting all Veteran entry fees by half to give back to those that have given us so much.

Last Year we held it in Carrboro, NC at Anderson Park.

This year it will be at Fort Custer Recreation Area in Augusta, MI (Battle Creek area)

The 10th Annual Flying Pig Open

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of playing in a tournament. Not just any tournament, but The 10th Annual Flying Pig Open. The tournament was two days, 3 rounds total on two different courses. The first 2 rounds were at Harbin Park with 6 temp holes. I like this course. It favors those with a good arm, which I don't have. That being said, there are still par and deuce oppurtunities for the distance challenged. I unfortunately did not take advantage of those. First round, +22( got a prize… Continue

2 Aces - 1 Tournament!

I played the OD Tours final event this weekend at Screaming Heads in Burks Falls, Ontario. This setting is the most amazing temp course I have had the privilege playing in my short disc golf adventure. The fall colors of northern Ontario, the morning crisp and clear, a touch of frost on the ground, the sun is shining with not a hint of rain in the forecast, you couldn't have asked for a better day for flying some disc. The tournament start off by me playing my normal not so good golf, par par… Continue

Tee Time!

In England, it's tea time. For disc golfers it's tee time. In my case, it's tee time this weekend in Dexter, for the annual women's tournament.

This is a shout out to all female players all over Michigan. Come one, come all, to the only other event (besides Disc Girls Gone Wild) custom made for… Continue

Tournaments and closing courses

So this past weekend I played a tournament June 21st. This tournament was sanctioned by the PDGA but due to the city owning the baskets and not the club that hosted the event the course could not be closed. Throughout the tournament there was casuals backing up holes slowing the tournament down. If you left any disc behind they would be taken by the casuals. IMO any course being used for a tournament should be closed to the public. When I am playing in a tournament and have paid cash I should… Continue

July 4th Fundraiser

As many of you know, last Saturday, June 20th, two baskets were stolen from Weatherford DGC.

At this time we only have 174.00 in our course fund due to the recent transfer of over two thousand dollars for cement teeboxes. We cannot afford the replacement costs at this time so instead of the normal mini on Saturday, July 4th, we will be running a fundraising mini.

This will be a singles event with the ace pot in effect, along with CTP's. We will try to have CTP's for all eighteen holes… Continue

First Eagle!!!

Today at the Zoo Town Open I claimed some retribution for the second round the day before. I was solid all day and on hole 16 "Mirkgrass" a par 5 approx. 800 ft. hole with ob on each side of a 20 ft. fairway my drive with my Assassin went about 400 ft. down the right side of the fairway and faded to the edge of OB but stayed in. My second shot was another 400 ft. shot with the same Assassin that I played about 70 ft to the right and let hyzer back, the disc came spiking through the trees and… Continue

2009 Spiritwood Skins

Today at the Spiritwood Skins Tournament. I played the Pro division and took 8 of 22 skins. Alex Gignoux, Jon Graff, and Ben Huss took 4 each. Shane ??? sorry I didn't catch his last name...took 2. Erik Nugent took 0. Not a bad showing for the day. Each hole was worth $6, we each paid $1 per hole for a total of $22 plus $2 entry fee. My game is coming around very quickly this year. Probably at least a 970 rated tourney and could possibly be closer to 990 based on scores from last year.

2009 Mushroom Manor Mini Disc Golf Moments

It wasn't suppose to snow today but 2 1/2 inches fell anyway. Seems to be the winter way around south central PA. Lancaster winter weather seems to be on the edge of lots of snow or nothing but slush and muck! Today was snow. You've got to love to play disc golf while it's snowing. Big or small disc golf, it's always a blast. Juddy, better known as Crink, showed up in his $250.00 Audi that smells like "old" from 15 feet away. We played the original… Continue
