( Updated: Tuesday, July 1, 2008)
If you aren't aware of the new course that went in recently, check the article below for details, and if you haven't played it yet, get up there!, because the next NCDGC Monthly Tournament will take place this Sunday, July 6th at the new Beaver Meadows Disc Golf Course. An amazing venue for a course, the Beaver Meadows Resort is perfectly suited to host a top-notch disc golf event, with lodging, food and additional activities available on site.
We will play two rounds of 18 holes at the new course, with a break for lunch in between, and we'll have special tee's set up on a few of the more challenging holes to accomodate casual level players. As always, our Monthlies are open to all ages, skill levels, members and non-members alike. As an added bonus, all participants will get a free shot to win a portable basket! Extra shots will be $1 each. Bring your boots!

There's a new course in the ground in Northern Colorado. It's located at the Beaver Meadows Resort Ranch in Red Feather Lakes, CO. The course will be the newest addition to a long list of activities they offer, including fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking, paddle boating and rafting.
If the course is anything like the preview I got a few weeks ago, be prepared for one of the best courses in Colorado. With 3-4 holes having water hazards in play, many challenging wooded holes, and some considerable elevation change throughout the course, this will be a gem treasured by players in the region for years to come. Add this to the great course we've come to love at the Sundance Trail Ranch only 10 minutes away, and we now have a mini-disc golf mecca right in our backyard!
The cost to play the course $5 per day, per player. For directions to the course, click here.
Update!: Course Map/Scorecard available for viewing and download.

The volunteering spirit is alive and well in the disc golf community.
The Make-a-Wish Foundation recently sent a Thank You letter (view 839kb) to the Northern Colorado Disc Golf Club, members of which teamed up with the Wright Life and students at Fossil Ridge High School to send, Hannah, a five year old Fort Collins resident battling illness, to Disney World in Florida. Twenty-six participants raised $400 for the cause during a tournament held Sunday, January 6 at Edora Park in 37 degree temperatures.
Since August 2007, Northern Colorado Disc Golfers have raised $7200.00 for various charitable causes including $3200.00 for Denver Children's Hospital and $3600.00 for the Colorado Special Olympics.
In addition, local players, working with the Fort Collins Parks Dept., have donated over 75 hours of their time to re-landscaping and mulching worn sections of the park.
If you would like to get involved with these charitable activities, there will be plenty of chances to help coming up. Stay tuned to www.nocodiscgolf.com for updates on course work days, charity tournaments, and volunteer opportunities within the club.

If you've got some great disc golf pictures and you're looking for somewhere to show them off, you can now create an account for the NCDGC Photo Gallery and post all those great pics for everyone to see!
There's already some cool shots in there, but we can always use more. Also, if you participated last week in the Cabin Fever Killer, you may even see some pictures of yourself. Check it out!

2008 is here, and with the new year comes a revival of the NCDGC monthlies. Due to the small turnout of Sunday leagues last year, we've decided to instead focus our efforts on a once-a-month, larger event, instead of a small weekly gathering. Each month, the club will host a mini tournament in the area, and scores from each monthly will count toward a series total. Since its unlikely that all players will make it to each one, a players 4 worst events will be dropped, so you won't be penalized for missing a few, but will benefit from making as many as possible. Brandon has put together a schedule of dates for the season which can be viewed here. He is still looking for catchy names for a few of the events, so if you've got an idea, let him know at brandon@nocodiscgolf.com.
