2009 Gentil Sport Taupo Classic

As they say in sport .. “It was a game of two halves”. Saturday sunshine, warmth and not a drop of anything wet, then on Sunday not even a peep of the sun, heavy rain and a chilling southerly, not that it effected the top disc golfer in the country as he raised the bar another notch with an incredibale new Spa Park course record...

The 2009 ‘Freaky Styley Crater Cup’

June 20 & 21 on Auckland’s Maungakeikei

The winter solstice always holds the promise of light winds and fine weather and for one of the rare occasions not a cloud was seen for the whole duration of the event but jeepers did the wind play havoc on Saturday.

2009 Tauranga Xtreme

McLaren Falls Park - State Highway 29 - Bay Of Plenty | May 2 & 3

It’s a picturesque place for a Disc Golf course on the sunrise side of the Kaimai Ranges overlooking the rolling green hills in the foreground with the beautiful BOP and The Mount as a back drop. Sometimes the vistas can make you forget the perils of possibly the toughest course we play on the Tour. But before long you’ll be jolted back to reality as your drive on a 120 metre hole ends up 300+ meters from the basket!

‘Tauranga Xtreme’ does that to you.

The Hill 2009

Taumarunui Polo-Cross Grounds | March 28 & 29

The call from hosts ‘The Lost Tribe’ came through - the traditional Hill course had been deemed 'unplayable'. But for many in the know, this meant the back-up (and wonderfully re-designed) Polo-Cross Grounds would mean for four rounds that would be easier on the body. This did not mean, however, that the competition would be less fierce. In fact the lead changed more times than Auckland weather in a day!

Queenstown Classic & Paradise Plates

Queenstown Gardens course and Paradise at Glenorchy | March 7 & 8

I probably spend more time with my camera in my hand than my discs on my Queenstown sorties. Wherever you look in the beautiful surrounds of the Southern Alps there is a picture to be taken. Along with the great scenery evidently there was some brilliant Disc Golf played as well.
