What a great turnout at Monte Cecilia Park, Hillsborough! Check out the array of great pics captured by our trusty lens lady Rani Timoti...
Players braved the rain and sloshed their way through muddy grounds for 4 rounds.
Congrat's to all who placed in each division & everyone else- you made it through the weekend!
The 22nd running of this tournament that thoroughly deserves the title "Classic" saw a new Tournament Director for the first time in it's reign. But that didn't stop the spectacular scenes of disc golf magic and mate-ship. New TD Paul Child provides the story and pics...
Jackson Sullivan smashes it in Taupo. This reporter has never seen so many birdies on one card.
Even the weather came to the party as the country's top Disc Golfers bowed to the skills of the man from Wellington (soon to be Auckland.) A win by 10 shots and a course record slaughtered.
It just gets better and better. Our 2017 NZDG Championships were our 39th annual Nationals - we've come a long way. A great course, well run, well catered for and the standard of play was right up there. Not just by the visiting Pro's either. Well done to Jacko Sullivan who topped the Kiwi standings in an otherwise all Pro 'Super 6'.
One of the few tournaments on The Tour now where we have to haul baskets onto the course (as well as deal with a council who seems to be purposely making this as hard as possible), but once the fun begins it is all worth it! Thanks to everybody who helped make this happen, what a brilliant weekend of Disc Golf.
Just the thought of that stunning drive from Queenstown up the guts of the South Island to Twizel was enough to get this reporter on the plane for a weekend in the Southern Alps. Not to mention a chance to catch up with the locals and play Disc Golf in that clean alpine air.
As the name suggested, the only thing that was going to get in the way at this event over the long Labour weekend was wood, and it did.
What a way to remember a lost golfing buddy. An excellent testing course in a beautiful park with a great bunch of people.
Well done to TD Chris Davies, from the amazing trophies to a well designed course on top of a well run event.
After one of the worlds best disc golfers Dave Feldberg described this course as "the toughest I've ever played", it was always going to be interesting to see who would turn up to take it on a second time.
Twenty nine players did and looked like it was a lot more enjoyable the second time.
Following up on last year's amazing 20th Classic celebrations the Wakatipu reached yet new levels of excitment and incredible scenery as 50 players gathered to enjoy 2 of the wonderful disc golf courses that feature at this stunning part of the world.
What a weekend of Disc Golf. Stunning weather, a made-for-Disc Golf park, a bunch of new faces and one of the most hotly contested Classics in all the years we've been hosting it.
What an awesome weekend of Disc Golf. The Queenstown Disc Golf Club hosted our 38th annual National Championships.
Hemi and his crew made sure every 'i' was dotted and 't' was crossed.
Stunning venue, testing course and the most amazing bunch of people.
The 2016 NZDG Tour is up and running. Event number one is always a great chance to see who's put in the work over the holiday period and what a stunning two days we had in the Rotorua Redwoods on this now 18 permanent basket course. In this reporter's mind there is no better place to spend a hot summer's day than in the shade of the giant redwoods with a disc in your hand.
Disc golf in New Zealand just goes from strength to strength in the 21st Century as the New Zealand Disc Golf Tour continues to visit scenic spots a-plenty.
