Dear Discriminating Discers,

IT’S PARTY TIME!!!

Mark your calendars for our 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION, Saturday, October 6th and Sunday, October 7th. We’re recognizing 10 years of disc golf at Hellyer Park with a full agenda of disc golf activities: The Ace Race on Saturday at Hellyer and Doubles Tournament (pick your partner- worst throw) on Sunday at LaRaza. Pre-registration is a must for the Ace Race! Everybody plays with the same Discraft sponsored disc and it’s tee shots only. No upshots and no putting, just a throw for the ace and you’re on to the next basket. Everything will be in the short positions. Check our web site, svdgc.com to register! $20.00 gets you 2 discs, a hat, a mini disc and entry to the Ace Race. The Doubles event entry fee will determined at a later date.

Both days will also feature a Barbeque at LaRaza along with some fun filled group activities at LaRaza (closest to the pin, closet to the pin-roller, mini disc golf course tourney, ring of fire, etc.). We’ve got photos in the archives to show what it was like in the beginning and how we’ve progressed thru the years. We’ll have a showing of the 1978 World Frisbee Championships (there’s a segment on disc golf). We’ll have a special stamp disc and t-shirt and a whole lot of fun.

We need Your Support in making this memorable weekend a Success. A Party Planning Committee is needed and we’re asking You to help. We’re scheduling a meeting for Sunday, September 9th, 7 PM, at the world headquarters of the Silicon Valley Disc Golf Club, 3880 S. Bascom Avenue, #115, San Jose, CA 95124. If you’re unable to attend that particular night and want to take part in helping, please contact Jim Challas at 408-802-1074.

IT’S TOURNAMENT TIME!!!

Mark your calendars for the Hellyer-LaRaza Tournament, Saturday, November 3rd for Singles and Sunday, November 4th for Doubles. This is the real deal returning again to humble the best disc golfers in northern California and beyond. This will be our 6th event we’ve conducted utilizing both of our 9 hole courses. We need a Tournament Committee to help plan and execute this event. We’re scheduling a Tournament Committee meeting for Sunday, September 23rd, 7PM, at the aforementioned world headquarters.

As a reminder, we’re scheduled to close LaRaza’s nine holes for regular season play after October 15. We’re required to pull the baskets and tee signs out of LaRaza (it’s in the flood plain) because the “high flow” season starts mid-October and lasts to mid-April. We’ll always have our beloved Hellyer to play year round.

See you at the course!
