I'll expand on this article later this weekend, but briefly we have National Disc Golf Day coming up and there is an amazing deal available whereby you can get a golf disc, a mini disc and coaching for just £5. You will never get a better deal than that, the golf disc alone retails at £8. Sign up is at https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/QUARRY_PARK_does_The_National_Disc_Golf_Day_2018
Hurry, because this is a great deal and could fill very quickly.

The 40th British Open took place at QP on 7-8th July and a capacity field of 90 players representing 10 countries battled it out for honours and a slice of the £1000+ prize fund. Iceland's 15 year old prodigy, Blaer Orn Asgeirsson, took top honours in the Open division. His scintillating 7 under par course record of 50 on the reconfigured black course helped him to victory over Belgium's Maxime Tanghe.
In the Womens division it was no surprise that 3-time Womens World Champion Des Reading from the USA won by a huge margin, with Finland's Katja Hiironen and Estonia's Katre Poder joining her on the podium. That's 5 nationalities mentioned so far and there was another in the MP40 division (40 and over) where Frenchman Mehdi Boukarabila took the win. I'm happy to say that the UK had a winner in the MP50 division - course owner and tournament director Derek Robins recaptured some of the form of his earlier years and was the only player in the entire field to shoot 3 sub-par rounds.
Huge thanks to Assistant TD Andy Malcolm for his hard work and dedication to serving the players. Many thanks also to disc sponsors Latitude 64 and volunteers including Andrew Douse, Mark Davis and Dan Waxman.

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!

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.
