Join the Elite (or Just the Usual Gang of Idiots) at this Weekend's Disc Golf Extravaganza

Its only a few days until Brisbane's biggest disc golf event for 2009! And its perfect for anyone looking to try it out for the first time.

Saturday sees the Our Darling Ultra-Star only event - rego from 2.30pm and Tee Off from 3.30pm, at the Yeronga Disc Golf Course.

This is the one for all you newbies and/or Ultimate players. Its an Ultra-star (ie Ultimate disc) only event - 18 holes around the permanent course at Fehlberg Park, Off Hyde Rd in Yeronga - the course starts at the Yeronga Kindergarten Carpark. Here's the course layout (from the quda.org website).

Cost is $5 (to cover insurance and prizes). There'll be Open and Women's Divisions, to double your chances of becoming the champion! And wise players will of course bring a few discrete 'roadies' to keep themselves lubricated (although discussion are under way to visit the South Cricket Club bar before attempting the back 9).

Weather forecast for Saturday is fine and sunny with a top of 26 - perfect for a walk in the park.

What is Disc Golf Anyway?

Then Sunday 18 October is for your slightly more serious disc golfer (but all are very very welcome), with the "Chocolate to Die For" Cup. This one includes a morning and afternoon round (so two lots of 18 holes), with registration from 9.30am and tee-off for the first round from 10.15am (second round at 2.30pm). $10 for the full day.
