The Faultline Fury 2014 Disc Golf Tournament.

Harcourt Park in Upper Hutt is the second oldest basketed course in the country and was skillfully designed and installed to test your full range of shot making, add to that a nasty weekend of Wellington weather - especially for the two opening rounds on the Saturday - and by Sunday afternoon you knew you'd been well and truly worked over.  

As always when running outdoor events, the only thing you can't organise is the weather. I always feel for TD's in this situation, but the combination of the Levin Brotherhood and the Wellington Disc Golf crew didn't miss a beat and ran a brilliant weekend of Disc Golf, despite the weather.

It's also becoming the norm now to see players registering you haven't met before. This is surely a positive sign that our amazing sport is growing. Mind you getting courses in the ground helps immensely. We stopped to play the new 9 holes in the harbour side Hikoikoi Park on our way up the Hutt Valley on Friday afternoon, and I hear through the grapevine there is another 9 holes on the way towards Tawa. Brilliant!

Saturday morning and everyone is leaving the Harcourt Park Holiday Camp with wet weather gear, umbrellas and as many dry cloths as they could fit into their bags. Not the greatest weather for Disc Golf but at least the very new concrete tees were a blessing ... Thanks to the local golfers who had not only worked hard to get them in but also dug into their own pockets to make them happen ... good skills team!

As you can imagine no one really ripped it up in the opening round but the usual suspects all came in with respectable numbers. During the afternoon round most players added a shot or two to their morning scores and a couple even succumbed  to the conditions. You couldn't blame them.

Sunday morning and the weather was on the mend, blue sky and sunshine even made an appearance and the cards coming in at lunchtime reflected the mood of the players, with Jacko breaking the 50. By the afternoon feeling was starting to return to the fingers which saw Simon Feasey come home with the tournament's low round of 47 and Brad Muir also breaking the 50.

All in all another great weekend of Disc Golf on the NZDG tour. Thanks to everyone who made this happen and congratulations to the winners.

Simon Feasey Over-all & Masters, Jackson Sullivan Open, Gemma Sullivan Woman's Open, Ming Menzies WGM, Pete Boyle GM, and Findlay Dempster Juniors. Well done also to  Hazen Simpson and Chris Davies who split the ACE Kitty and to the GM who won the free night's accommodation at Harcourt Park in the lucky draw of all those that stayed right next to the course.

We'll let the pictures tell the full story.
