  Checking out the Red River Ski Area Disc Golf Course 

  

  A few weeks ago, I posted a photo of a disc golf course that includes a gondola ride up and down the mountain to get to the course.

  Needless to say, I was interested. The folks at Red River Ski Area saw the post and said “Hi” on Twitter. I reached out shortly after that to find out more information on the course. Turns out this gorgeous disc golf course is located in Northern New Mexico. The disc golf courses I play are surrounded by corn or soybean fields. Seriously. The courses are mainly flat, but still a lot of fun. When I see mountains in the background and a great location, I had to find out more about the course.

  I got in contact with Sarah from Red River Ski Area to find out more! I found out that this family owned business wanted to put in a disc golf course. After settling on the idea, they reached out to some of the locals to get some tips on course design. I’m always happy to see a group want to expand into the ever growing world of disc golf!

  Check out the interview here.

  First TD Experience 

  http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisleo/6981734492/

  I ran my first sanctioned event the Sunnybrook Spring Fling over this past weekend, It was a huge success. Last year the event was a one day event accommodating 80 players on a golf course setup for disc golf. Last year the event filled, so I thought I would suggest making it a two day with divisions split to allow more people.  At the time our club has never run a two event like this, so we just just hoping to get 80 total let alone a brand new TD for that matter. Saturday we had 56 players followed by 71 on Sunday  totaling 127 people!!!

  Being a TD requires a lot, and I mean a lot of work! What is more important is the volunteers that help out behind the scenes. Without them there is NO WAY I could of run the tournament as smoothly as it did. We had to basically install and tear down an 18 hole course with fly pads both days! Being a player at heart, I wanted to make sure everyone playing had the best time they could possibly have! Driving around on golf carts sure does make that go easier, and even though a lot, and I mean a lot of people lost plastic to the lake, I never heard anyone saying they didn’t have a great time out there.
