Its only two weeks away… a Sydney Disc Golf first!!!

7-8 October 2006

The newly formed Sydney Disc Golf Club and Australian Disc Golf invite you all to participate in the Sydney Olympic Park Pilot Disc Golf event.  This is a historic occasion as the Newington Armory layout has never been played with baskets.  The newly designed 9 hole layout shall be open to be played by registered players for the first time as a temporary course.  Come play with golf discs or ultrastars! Beginners welcome!

Cost: $35 and it includes… Two brand new golf discs, lunch and insurance.
