Greater Oconee Disc Golf

• If anyone is interested there is a small group of casual players looking to make a trip to Union, SC to play the River Chase Fly 18 course.  We are tentatively planning to go in Sunday January 22nd.  If you are interested in joining us please send an email to the GO-DG account.  Also, please keep in mind this is a tentative date if inclement weather arrives on the scene we will be adjusting our plans.
• The cost is $12 for the first round (w/ two people sharing a cart!) plus $8 for a second round if you want to.

The SC Mountain Lakes CVB’s new 2011 Visitor’s Guide to Oconee County includes a page dedicated to Disc Golf along with an invite to our website, GODGC.com.  The guide also lists Disc Golf on the cover, on page 4 and on the map in the center of the guide.

The legend includes Disc Golf with green ovals on the county and city maps where each of our 5 courses are located.

This guide will be distributed through SC State Welcome Centers, through Oconee County Parks, Recreation & Tourism; State Parks within Oconee County and in neighboring counties’ visitor centers.

This is a great testiment to the hard work members of Greater Oconee Disc Golf have done growing our sport in our community.

The Chainsaw Classic is tomorrow.  Right now we have 69 players registered and several that will show up the morning of.  Looking like we’ll be close to a full field.  Online registration through midnight Friday at StrangeDiscSports.com.

The Golden Corner Classic is Saturday.  We now have 49 players registered.  All Champion Katanas have been spoken for.  There are 5 t-shirts left (1-XL, 4-Large) for player packs.  If you don’t get a shirt or disc, you’ll get a voucher for Strange Disc Sports.

Probably too late to registered through the mail.  If you want to hold a spot for sure (or nail down one of the remaining t-shirts) your best bet is to register online through Strange Disc Sports.

We have Champion Makos for sale only.  They’re $15 each or get on and a hole sponsorship for $25.

I look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.

We’ve 40 players registered. No more Champion Katana discs left.  We have 6 t-shirts (large & XL) and vouchers available for AM player packs.

We have only one Open Pro and on Master Pro player registered.  In the AM divisions, we’ve got several playing Int, Advanced, Advanced Masters, Novice and Recreational.  Two or less in the Advanced Female, Int Female and Juniors.  We would love to have more women and junior players.

Sertoma Field in Walhalla is a very friendly course for beginners.  It is short at only 4,000′ in lengeth and a fun course to play.

Register online at Strange Disc Sports.

The Golden Corner CHAINSAW Classic registration is going on right now. In the right sidebar you’ll find a link to this years registration form and a link to online registration through Strange Disc Sports.

All non-pro divisions will get either a Champion Katana Disc, a t-shirt or a voucher from Strange Disc Sports. I have 12 katanas left and 13 t-shirts.
