QP Open
The 18th Quarry Park Open ran on the 15/16 September. There's a report below.
We have a couple of ways for you to spread the love of disc golf this Christmas. The shop now stocks vouchers for £10 and £20 which can be redeemed against fees or merchandise at Quarry Park, and there's a voucher for 2 rounds. We can even print off customised vouchers for different amounts, but you will need to give some notice, as there's no printer at the course. We also have some greeting cards featuring winter scenes from the course. The opening hours are still 10 until sunset at weekends, although the course may be unattended in very poor weather. Call Derek on 07780 727921 to check.
Autumn One Day Tournament
Rich Hatton organised a one day event at QP on November 3rd which attracted 28 competitors. After 2 rounds Richard had a 6 shot lead in the Advanced Amateur Division, and in fact his score was better than anyone in the Open Division. The full results are posted at the PDGA website and show that a storming final round by Jonnie Morris on the short course moved him into a tie with Ivan Bromage in the Open Division. Hatton extended his lead to 8 in the Advanced Amateur Division. In the Intermediate Amateur Division, Phil Sumner

BDGA Tour Finale at Burnlaw
The BDGA Tour was set for an exciting climax at the 10th and final event at Burnlaw in Northumberland on 29-30th September. Derek Robins, Jester Wilson and Dan Ryan knew that if they won at Burnlaw, they would win the Tour, but course pro Chris O’Brien and defending Burnlaw Champion Neil Webber also fancied their chances of winning the event, and a win for either of them would hand the tour title to Wilson. With high winds forecast fo r the weekend, any loss of nerve, or tentative shot-making, was likely to be cruelly exposed, and thus the scene was set for exciting golf...

18th Quarry Park Open Results
What a great weekend of disc golf! We had 59 players taking part, including all the top players on the BDGA Tour, right through to some with only a few months experience. Conditions were perfect: dry and bright but with enough wind to make things really challenging on the tough "Black" course layout.
In the Open division, there was a great deal at stake as this was also the penultimate event in the closely contested British Tour. QP's Neil Webber made the best start and after 2 rounds he lead by 1 shot from Derek Robins and Jester Wilson, with Dan Ryan 2 shots further back.

The Quarry Park Open takes place this weekend 15-16th September, and it should be a cracker. Quarry Park staff and volunteers have been working hard to get the course in top condition and to prepare maps, scorecards and so on. This is the penultimate event on the British Tour and it's really tight at the top of the rankings. Derek Robins has to win to keep his title hopes alive. If Jester Wilson wins then the tour title is his. If Dan Ryan wins then he has the advantage going into the last tournament. At present we have 48 players registered, and hopefully that will top 50 come Saturday. With the tournament running over the whole weekend it does mean that the course will not be available for casual play. Spectators are welcome for the finals on Sunday afternoon, running from approx 1pm to 3pm.
