Australian Disc Golf Championships 2011 Disc Golf Tour Event

25-27 November,  Poimena Tasmania 

A letter from the TD..
Hi there,
Registration for Australia's premier tournament, the Australian Disc Golf Championships has opened.

Players can register online via the tournament website (www.ADGC.com.au).

Exciting times ahead
The tournament committee has been busy  working behind the scenes for many months and exciting things are happening.

We know at least two 1000+ rated players are coming over to compete from Finland - Jussi Meresmaa and Juho Rantalaiho from Team Discmania. 

British disc golf legend and PDGA Hall of Famer Derek Robins has also booked his flights from Heathrow to Hobart International Airport.

Jay and Des Reading from the Educational Disc Golf Experience program (E.D.G.E) are coming over to Tassie.  Jay and Des will be running workshops with coaches and kids at schools around Poimena Reserve in the period leading up to the tournament; and of course they'll be playing the main event!  

Des Reading is also a 3x Womens World Champion and Jay is a putting World Champion - pretty cool.

Fundraiser Discs
There's some great ADGC fundraiser plastic on sale too. Innova has released a prototype of a new driver for the Australian Champs - the TeeDevil. 

The TeeDevil pays homage to Tasmania's most famous furry friend, and also endangered friend, the Tasmanian Devil. The tournament will be making a donation to the Save the Tasmanian Devil Appeal and we encourage players to support this good cause too.

There is also a very limited run of the ADGC Innova Star Roc, with a cool full colour design - for collectors and players.

Both these discs can be purchased through the online shop on the ADGC website.

Discmania will also be announcing a limited edition ADGC fundraiser disc in the coming months also.

The Course
Work continues at Poimena Disc Golf Course, a few more of the 36 tee pads have been made flatter, wider, longer and grippier.

Sorry, but its famous sloping greens and fairways are just as cruel and round crippling as you remember them to be.

More trees have been planted and the course is looking better than ever.

We've also seen a significant increase in new players at the course in recent months which has been really encouraging.

Support from sponsors
The tournament is being supported by some great sponsors, which include Innova, Discology, Mac Plus More, Discmania, Digital Ink and Mercure Hotels.
Their support has been invaluable and we would really like to acknowledge them.
