May League Day 2013

Posted by & filed under Results.

The weather is getting colder and our fearless leader is off on a three month adventure in another hemisphere but that didn’t stop 16 players making it out to our May League day. After a long week of rain, players were treated to a dry day and calm conditions. There was a tight grouping at the top with Jeff Brunsting shooting one of his best rounds yet along with Sarah Jeffereys but Addison Heath’s acceleration continued. Addison shot 60 (yes you read that right) strokes better than his previous performance for an unbeatable 47 after applying his handicap. It looks like there will be some big movement in the handicaps for next month! Full Results below.

April League Day 2013

Posted by & filed under Results.

Well it looks like lots of players are keep to cut their teeth on the massive 18-basket layout at Ruffey Lake before competing in the Vicopen next week. Another fantastic turnout with 23 players getting their first look at the slightly tweaked Ruffey Lake Park layout, including the new Quarry hole. David Heath took out 1st place this month comfortably by 3 strokes over Ari Taylor. Players were quite exhausted after playing the full layout so the course was packed up early but a few keep players stuck around to play on the permanent 6-basket layout. Let’s hope the practice provides a strong home field advantage for our Victorian players in next weeks Vicopen! Checkout the full results below.

March League Day 2013

Posted by & filed under Results.

Another strong turn out for the March league day saw Chris Taylor grab top spot against some stiff competition. It feels like a long time ago that we struggled to get more than a dozen players out on Sunday morning and its great to see so many players coming back for more. Next month’s league day will be the week before the Vicopen and we will put out the full 18 hole course for players to practice before the big event. Until then, check out the full results from this months league day here.

February League Day 2013

Posted by & filed under Results.

What an amazing turn out at Ruffey Lake Park for the February League day, 29 players! We finally had to deal with a group playing on every hole of the course. There was some great golf on the day with some fantastic scores. Congratulations to Addison Heath who took out the day with a 32 on handicap, it looks like that 90 handicap will be coming down significantly. David Heath took out second place (quite the rivalry there) while Joel Paton came third with a 54 after handicap. Thanks for everyone who played and helped to make this the biggest league day yet.

Westgate is no Barrier for Disc Golfers

Posted by & filed under News.

The MDGC is set to take on the GDGC in the inaugural Westgate Cup to be played between the two Victorian DG clubs at Ruffey Lake Park Disc Golf Course on Sunday 20 January 2013.  The top players from each club will play each other in a series of head-to-head matchplay games.  The mixture of doubles and singles matches will make this a highly competitive annual event that is sure to bring out the best in all of us.  Go Melbourne!

More Disc Golfers Than Ever Enjoying Disc Golf

Posted by & filed under News.

The November 2012 MDGC League Day saw 26 players throwing plastic on a great Melbourne day.  This makes it the third month in a row that we have had more than 25 players turn up to a league day.  Ari Taylor made the most of the great conditions to have a blinder, winning with an impressive net score of 54.  For his efforts, Ari has taken away the monthly prize of 10 MDGC dollars which he will be able to spend at the soon to be opened MDGC pro shop. Nice work, Ari.

Paton Romps It In

Posted by & filed under News.

Joel Paton’s result in the November 2012 MDGC League Day was totally irrelevant as his massive margin in the standings could not have been hauled in.  Joel won the 2012 league season with a score of 893, a huge 206 in front of the second placed Chris Taylor on 687 points.  Mark Hardy finished strongly, and is one to watch for 2013, to finish third on 664 points.

A Single Throw Nets Geelong Man Jackpot

Posted by & filed under News.

The $266 MDGC ace pool has gone off!  GDGC’s Jarrath Sweetten has thrown the shot of a life-time to smash his skipping shot into the chains on the well guarded 10th basket of the Price Park Disc Golf Course.  Jarrath, or Jaz to his mates, was very quick to pay the $50 Westgate Tax and get the ace pool off to a flying new start.

Stars of the Future Shine at Price Park

Posted by & filed under News.

The September 2012 MDGC League Day started off like so many others, but it was evident quite early that it was going to be huge when more and more players started to show up, with quite a few new faces showing their form in warm up. Just like a preview of the lead group of the 2020 Australian Disc Golf Championships, the six juniors showed that the future of disc golf in Melbourne is blindingly bright and an era of Australian champions from Victorian is certain. The players kept rolling in and we ended up with 26 golfers, which is the largest league day in MDGC’s history.

After some great scoring, young Luke Burns took out the day with an awesome net score of 45, followed by Angus Perkins and Andy Moore with scores of 50 and 51. Luke was the first person to receive ten highly sought after MDGC Dollars, which he can spend in the renovated prize shop any way he likes. Thanks to Amy from Creative Angels Imagery and Karen from 21 Dreams Photography, there are heaps of magnificently captured photos on the MDGC Facebook page, please check them out.

The More Important ‘Melbourne Cup’ Announced

Posted by & filed under News.

The MDGC will again be hosting the ‘Melbourne Cup’, an ADG ‘B-tier’ disc golf tournament and the perfect opportunity to warm up for the Australian Disc Golf Championships in Drysdale the week after.  Mark your calendars for Sunday 28 October 2012 for two rounds of highly competitive disc golf at Ruffey Lake Park in Doncaster.  There will be plenty to play for, including ADG tour points, PDGA ratings, MDGC league points, trophies and prizes.  Even the last place getter will receive lunch, water and soft drink and a chance to turn a dollar into more than $50 by hitting an ace.
