This weekend we host The Masters at Quarry Park - a tournament for the "Masters Division" restricted to those aged 40 or over during the year, i.e. born in 1978 or earlier. I haven't closed the course to casual players, but the burgeoning growth of the sport has meant that we have 50 competitors in comparison with 32 last year. It will be very busy on the course and parking will become an issue if we have many casual players in addition to the competitors. If you can defer your visit to another weekend that will ease the issue. If you visit, but are unable to find a parking space, please accept my apologies, if we run this event again next year we will advise well in advance that the course is closed to casual play. Please do not park on the verges outside the course as it is essential to retain visibility for cars leaving the site.
In other news, we have taken delivery of lots of new stock from Innova a couple of weeks ago, Latitude 64 and Dynamic Discs yesterday, with some Discraft Comets on the way too. Hole 5 is currently closed until we reinstate stream crossings and allow grass to establish in recently seeded areas.

I'm delighted to say that we just had our 100th 5-star review on Tripadvisor. Thank you to everybody who has submitted a review, and if you see any areas which you think we need to address, then do let us know. Thank you to the staff for their efforts too.
  

The organisers of National Disc Golf Day in the UK have had to cancel the special deal that was on offer, as they were unable to get the discs delivered in time. We would still love to see people on Saturday morning, 4th August. We can offer a Latitude mid-range or putt/approach disc, a round on the short course and some free coaching for just £6.

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.
