British Open
The course is now open from 2pm on weekdays and closes at 9.15 or sunset if earlier. During quieter periods, staff may be working on the course and not notice you arriving. Listen for the sound of a mower or strimmer or see if they have left a note on the door to say where you can find them if you need assistance.The British Open is coming up fast, and will be the biggest disc golf event of the UK calendar with a full field of 90 players including 25 from 8 overseas countries. Spectators are very welcome for the finals on Sunday afternoon.
I'm excited to report that Des and Jay Reading are taking part. They have 3 World Mixed Doubles titles, and Des has been Womens World Champion 3 times. They will be running clinic(s) at the course prior to the tournament, and I'll be announcing the dates/times and costs soon, but do let me know if you want to sign up and I'll make sure that you are the first to know.
We have a few Fundraiser Commemorative Stamp discs on sale for £18. Only 50 made, and for the 40th British Open this is a real collectors item. On sale now in the Pro Shop.
Finally we are in the process of upgrading tee posts and signs and will be moving to a letter sequence for the Short Course, which may cause a bit of confusion while we are in transition. The course is in great shape, so come on down and play!
We have 3 tournaments planned for 2018
24th February: One day event which is part of the MODS Tour (Midlands One Day Series) organised by Richard Hatton. See details here
7-8th July: The 24th Quarry Park Open has now been upgraded to be the 40th British Open!!! Our main event of the year with a full field of 90 players expected, including more than 20 Pro division players competing to win over £1000 in cash. Details and registration to follow in March. Spectators very welcome for the finals on Sunday afternoon. Due to lack of parking we cannot accommodate spectators before 13:00 on Sunday.
29-30th September: The Quarry Park Masters with divisions for players born on or before 31.12.1978
The above events will be PDGA sanctioned.
We also have a our regular monthly handicap which is usually on the 1st Saturday of the month. This is a much more casual affair and open to players of all levels with no requirement to be a member of Quarry Park or any disc golf organisation.

The course will continue to be open on weekends through December and January. In addition, we will be open on Thursday and Friday 28th-29th December, and New Years Day. There will be a handicap round on Saturday 2nd December for which usual green fees apply, plus £1 into the prize kitty.
It has been a busy year at QP in terms of improvements to facilities and the course - we even have electricity now and can offer hot drinks for a pound! Just this week I have been working hard with Ali to build some steps near the baskets of #7 and #12, and this will be Ali's last contribution before he heads to the Alps. He has been a great help and we wish him well in his next ventures.

We are now on winter opening times, and the course will not ordinarily be open on weekdays, except for half term when we will open from 10am to sunset. We can often open by arrangement, and Ali or Derek may well be out working on course maintenance. Please make contact by email rather than phone during this period.
On Saturday 4th November there will be a one day tournament, open to all players. I will keep an eye on registrations to see whether to advise casual players to avoid playing on that day. The following day we have our annual club challenge event called the Hyzer Cup, where we include as many players as possible in equal numbers from Croydon and Quarry Park. As with the Saturday, it could be very busy, and I will keep you updated on numbers.
That's if for tournaments, but there is one more busy afternoon, October 8th, when a large group of Ultimate Frisbee players from Wawrick University will be visiting, but that won't involve so many cars, so no problem to accommodate other visitors.
Finally, the Petanque piste has been completed, I'm thinking of charging £12/hour if there are 2 people, or £20 if there are 4 people. That puts it pretty much on a par with the cost of playing the short course.

Now that schools are back, it's mostly very quiet at the course on weekdays, but since there is plenty of grounds work for Ali and me to do, we are still opening from 1pm every weekday. From 25th September we will still be working quite a bit, but the course will not routinely be open, so call ahead if you want to play on a weekday.
You might imagine that evening play will cease as the nights draw in, but we are looking to start night golf, using strings of LED's on the baskets and discs with LED's. It's looking like this may happen on Thursdays, so keep an eye on the facebook page and group for news on this.
Just because it's getting quieter on the course, doesn't mean we are sitting back. As I write this I await a new shipment of Innova and Discmania discs, staff kit is on order, more videos are in the pipeline, landscaping to the social area will soon be completed, off-grid electricity is coming, tee and signage improvements are planned, and there will be a realignment of the 18th hole.
