This disc golf course is another NZ spectacular. Driving on groomed fairways, putting under towering Redwood pines, soaking in thermal hot baths. No wonder players swarm from all over the country for the first NZ Tour event of the year.
Golfers young and old enjoyed the brilliant sunshine on the new layout of this course located on an island in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf. The golf was memorable, the evening BBQ of freshly caught seafood along with the hours of frisbee throwing was unforgettable.
This year the NZ Nationals hit the South Island with players zeroing in on Christchurch's Jellie Park. TD Chris describes the trials and tribulations of the weekend.
As always, the Queenstown crew put on a great tournament attracting players of a wide range of experience, skill and luck. TD James Smithalls regales the action with some great pics thrown in.
What a course this is - sadly still temporary but worthy of all the work to set up. We've got some great pictures of this event where we also saw an Ace!
Sublime weather saw local favourite and not-so-young-any-more Dean Marshall leap ahead of the field from the outset, including an incredible sub-50!
Check out TD Chris' shot-by-shot story of this epic tournament which recognised our old friend Pete Crowther. Gone but not forgotten.
Luck was on the side of players attending this event at a location better known for it's pay-to-ride mountain biking as the mid-winter climate made way for 2 sunny spring-like days of competition.
In the heart of the beautiful King Country we witnessed the definition of local advantage. Playing on a course he helped design and maintain, we saw a SEVEN shot lead by this player after the 4 rounds...
2014 saw another great course enter the NZ Tour from the Queenstown area. Mid-winter meant the organisers were risking the chance of playing in snow. But conditions were favourable but with incredible vistas of the snow-capped Southern Alps.
Putting under the gaze of the mighty snow-clad Mt Ruapehu makes for a spectacular setting for disc golf. Add the kiwi-famous King Country hospitality and you have a weekend not to miss!
A perfectly groomed course overlooking a stunning lake under the majestic gaze of the Southern Alps. What a lucky bunch of disc golfers!
Windy conditions tested players throughout the tournament with the best players shining through with some great peformances.
The weather in the nation's capital can be a bit unpredictable at times. Such was the case for this weekend's event but that did not dampen the enthusiasm of over 40 players as they took on one of NZ's oldest basketted courses.
