Dear All, I'm sure that there must be a few Ultimate players out there who are curious to try out disc golf on a proper course. Your ideal opportunity is just 11 days away.
There is a fun tournament at Quarry Park, Leamington Spa on March 23-24 and you can play either or both days. It is the only handicap tournament on the schedule so who knows you might even win! Quarry Park is 15 acres of grassland and woodland bought by me nearly 8 years ago and devoted solely to disc golf. Over 1500 trees have been planted to create a challenging and beautiful 18 hole course on the banks of the river Avon. You can get some idea of the course at www.quarrypark.co.uk or go to www.discgolfphotos.com/gallerypages/england/quarrypark2001/index.htm or www.discgolfphotos.com/gallerypages/england/quarryparkgallery97_2000/index.htm The course is fairly beginner friendly as there are no really long holes - the longest is 106m. Players of all standards are welcome and I am particularly keen to have new players along. I realise that some people cannot make both days, so there will be separate results and awards for each day as well as for the whole weekend. If you wish to play only one day you can pay half price. The basic cost is 15 pounds for the weekend. Subtract 4 pounds if you are not earning, subtract 1 pound if you pay in advance. This includes sandwiches and soft drinks on both days. Camping is available for a pound a night. If you can let me know in advance if you plan to attend that will be a great help as I have to make sure I have a handicap worked out for you as well as buying provisions for lunch. If you have any questions please get in touch via e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call me at home on 01926 864136 Dels Disc store will be open of course and you will have your last chance to pick up discs at 2001 prices. Manufacturers have raised their prices for 2002 and this will be reflected from April. If you can't be at the tournament you may wish to use the mail order facility. Contact me via [EMAIL PROTECTED] or on 01926 864136. Regular plastic will probably go from 7 to 7.50 Millenium, KC, Elite X plastic will probably go from 8 to 9 Champion Edition and Elite Z will probably go from 11 to 11.50 Hope to hear from you soon, Del
