This Saturday, the Northern Colorado Disc Golf Club will host a park cleanup day at Edora. All club members and casual disc players are invited and encouraged to attend. In addition to beautifying our beloved course, this event will help show the community we are willing to give back, and help improve the parks we enjoy.
We will gather at Edora hole 1 at 9:00 am, strategize, and begin walking the park by 9:30. Please bring anything you feel might help with the cleanup activities (rakes, gloves, etc.) Once we finish, a tag match will probably take place, and possibly a carpool up to the Red Feather courses (so don't forget the plastic!). Stay tuned to the club's forum for more details.

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.
