Queensland Disc Golf Open 2007 Results and Report

The 2007 Queensland Disc Golf Open was held last weekend with a total of 14 players from around Australia and even one from NZ attempting to win "The Chocolate to die for Cup". The event was won by Simon Feasey from New Zealand on the fourth hole of a sudden death play-off with local Tim Marchbank, after Tim made up 3 shots during the final nine holes of the competition.

There was also a team competition between Team Australia & Team New Zealand – results are included, click ‘Read more…’ to go to the full report.

MADD MACQ’S 024

Just because the Newington course wasn’t ready for play yet, we didn’t cancel – we just swapped location for another MM. The shorts were back on, the sky was blue but the fountain had been turned off. Most of the talk was about the Newington course, the October Championships and yet another layout for Macquarie. For some, it meant relaxed play, for others difficulties concentrating. After the first round, Luke and Rod went to Newington for some course work, not to be seen again. After the longest lunch ever, we played another round and then hauled the baskets back into the dark dungeons of Macq Uni Gym where they’ll stay till October (we think).

ADGTour Standings Update – June

Sydney put on its finest winter weather with a beautiful day of approximately 20 degrees for the inaugural Sydney Disc Golf Open. 22 competitors were ready to test their skills against a tight and technical course layout which boasted a miserly PAR of 55. Although the Sydney Disc Golf Club team were disappointed that the permanent baskets were not in the ground, the M14 portables stood up to the battering of our birdie-hungry disc golfers.  This ADG A-Tier National Tour Event saw some very close competition, with 3 out of 4 divisions being decided by 1 stroke!
