The 2010 Christchurch Fling Disc Golf Championships | Victoria Park, Christchurch, New Zealand Oct 2, 3 2010

A word from Tournament Director Mario Cerniar

The 3rd Christchurch Fling saw some old faces coming back to the Port Hills: Jenny Joynt from Tokoroa, Paul Cohen from Waiheke Island and Michael Proctor from Auckland all played The Fling for the 3rd time and Simon Feasey from Auckland came down to Christchurch to defend his title. Last but not least Queenstown Disc Golf Legend James “Jaguar” Smithells attempted to ace holes 2 and 15 (the Signature hole) again after hitting the chains on both the previous year.

A few new faces were seen in the hills this year: Damian Peters from Auckland was keen to take the title off Simon. Jackson and Shane Sullivan from Levin as well as Regan Caldwell and Fraser Campbell from Queenstown all played their first Fling. We also had some great support from our local disc golf and ultimate players.

This year’s Fling proved to be the best one so far with 22 players turning up in Victoria Park on a beautiful warm Saturday morning. This is a new record for the young tour event. With the help of players from Queenstown and Wanaka the course was fully basketed and this was another novelty for the Christchurch event.

Thanks very much for all those who have travelled a long way and helped make the event the big success that it was. Hope to see lots of you again next year.
