The South Carolina Juniors Disc Golf Championship is being held in Walhalla at Sertoma Field for the 2nd year in a row. Registration info can be found here.
Children 19 and under can play and the cost is only $10. The price includes a disc, t-shirt and lunch. It’s Saturday, April 3rd, 2010. I’ve already signed up all three of my sons and I hope to see you with your kids out there that Saturday.
Greater Oconee Disc Golf starts their new Single Series on Sunday in Clemson. This will be a year-long series with stops rotating in Clemson, Seneca and Walhalla. The three 18 hole disc golf courses in Oconee County.
Details can be found here.
The SC Doubles is eying August 21-22 for the 2010 version of the South Carolina Doubles Championship. A request has been sent to the state coordinator and we hope to not come up against any events in GA or NC.
In Easley. Includes a Chili contest and two rounds of golf. You have the choice of playing in the morning, afternoon or both. Details at the Upstate Club Site.
I was hoping to play at least one round of snow disc golf this week while in Minnesota. No such luck. My youngest got sick and with a sick child and being out of town it just didn’t work out. Next time.
The family Christmas present this year was a Wii gaming system. We were able to get a great deal that included multiple controllers and 5 games. One of the games is Wii Sports Resort.
Wii Sports Resort includes Frisbee Golf. It was the highest rated game according to Disc Golfer magazine in an article written earlier this year for ‘feel’ of the game. We’ve (my family) been playing and everyone seems to enjoy playing. My wife, Sara Beth, my oldest son Joseph (13) and my youngest son Parker (4) have all gotten a hole-in-one already. I haven’t snagged one yet but I’m hopeful I’ll get one to join the club soon.
The game gives you a choice of ‘automatic’ and manual. Automatic releases the disc when you flick your wrist and the manual releases the disc when you release the ‘B’ button. I’ve only been playing manual.
My wife even bought a ‘Frisbee’ controller for the game. I’ve not used that yet. If you’ve got a Wii and want to play Disc Golf, I would recommend the Sports Resort. It comes with a dozen games…most my kids have enjoyed.
Strange Disc Tour stops in Greer this Saturday. Details at StrangeDiscSports.net I’m unable to make the event. Last singles event in the area in 2009.
Last year I held a doubles on the 26th of December in Walhalla. I had been planning on doing it again this year. However, due to some recent events, I will now be out-of-town over Christmas.
I’m considering a random draw doubles on New Year’s Day at noon or 2pm if there is any interest. I know the Ice Bowl in Easley is that Saturday and there are many other groups doing events over the next several weeks.
Happy Christmas!
It only took three and a half month but the PDGA has finally made the results of this year’s SC Doubles Championship final. Check out the results here. The only issue is they only included results from the first three rounds.
SCDoubles is not involved in this event. Just posting the information. It’s my understanding that the Stoney Hill Course is a great and challenging course.
