I am a disc golf addict, and have my own 18 hole course on Old Milverton Lane, Leamington Spa. It is a beautiful spot bordering the river Avon, and over the last 12 years I have planted lots of trees to enhance the landscape and create a challenging course. Last month a new access and car park was completed, and from this weekend the course is officially open to the public. To celebrate this I am having a charity fundraising event this weekend to promote the course and raise money for Myton Hospice. I would love to see you at the course, and if you can bring friends and family along then all the better. What Is Disc Golf? - You throw special frisbees into a metal basket in as few shots as possible. When is the event? - From 10 until sunset on Saturday and Sunday 6-7th May Where is Quarry Park? - From the roundabout on the A452 just on the north edge of Leamington Spa (next to Woodland Grange Training Centre) you take the exit to Old Milverton. The entrance to Quarry Park is on the right after 500m. Approximate post code CV32 6RW What should I bring? - no special kit required. Trainers adequate for the top 9, the bottom 9 has some damp areas of ground, so walking boots might be best. What's the Cost? - Usually £5 for adults and £3 for students, and usually discs cost from £7.50. This weekend the special deal is pay £6.50 and get a specially designed imported golf disc, plus a mini-disc and a round of disc golf. If you really don't want the special disc deal, you can have a round for £4 (£2.50) and borrow a disc. There will be experienced disc golfers on hand to give you some tips on throwing. What's the Charity? - For every round paid for, I will donate £1 to Myton Hospice. Facilities? - there is a field shelter, some seats and picnic benches. Gents and Ladies portable toilets. There will be refreshments on sale as well as merchandise for disc golf and Myton Hospice. Normal Opening Times - from 5pm til sunset on weekdays and from 10 am at weekends (provisionally) Groups welcome. Why is it called "Worlds Biggest Disc Golf Weekend"? - All round the World, disc golf clubs will be hosting similar events and seeking to get as many people as possible playing disc golf.
