Play has now concluded in the inaugural Victorian Disc Golf Open. Sunday’s play saw players tackling the very technical Drysdale Reserve Course. There was considerable movement in the top of the field with many players carding excellent rounds on the difficult course. In the final round both Drew Muller and Luke Williams made a run at Andrew Dowdy who entered the round with a commanding 10 stroke lead. While Luke shot a 53 (course record) and Drew shot a 54 it just wasn’t enough to catch Andrew who gave up several strokes allowing them to come within 3 strokes but no farther. Chunzi Xu took out the Womens division, improving on her morning round by 7 strokes. Players gave some extremely positive feedback on the Drysdale course, particularly the newly added Hole 12. Thanks to all who made the effort to come and play in this event and to those out there watching things unfold. We will have a full report, pictures and other information posted during the course of the week. For now, here are the final scores:

Everyone had a great time at this very social event. Lots of friendly heckling on the tees as well as some great shots. Several people actually shot better rounds in the Night Owl that they did playing the same 9 holes (admittedly without the OB at night) during the day. Paul Arden First Day ScoresMay 24, 2008Big day, still at the course and just time to post scores. Island Green hole gave many players trouble but Greg Bowers managed the only Birdie and the CTP.
