Signups are available for the upcoming Winter Hoedown (Slosh Series #2) on January 24th at Hornings Hideout. http://www.stumptowndiscgolf.org/store/slosh2 Slosh #1 sold out and about a dozen people got turned away so don't wait!

You can also pre-order your 2010 bag tag which are scheduled to be distributed this year at the Winter Hoedown. This years tags will be full color again and printed on credit card like card rather than laminated like last year.

The party planning committee worked very hard and we now have a place for our end of the year party. Please plan to bring a snack to share (plate of cookies, pie, etc.) your favorite putter, and a wrapped gift (disc golf disc or other related gift) and come (somewhere) to hang out with Stumptown members and share stories from the year.

More after the break!

Fall is here and many of the leagues have slowed down, but Stumptown is busy. We are still working on a variety of new courses in the Portland area, working on plans for events for the fall and 2010, and working to get the club more organized to take advantage of our recent growth.

A women's disc golf clinic and tournament.

August 1-2, 2009 at Horning's Hideout in North Plains Oregon

If you’re a first time disc golfer or have been playing for a while, this is the event for you. Learn the basics of disc golf from local women: drives, approach shots, putting, and trick shots

This is a fun, casual event where you can learn and practice disc golf skills with women from Oregon and Washington.

The Beaver State Fling presented by Keen disc golf tournament is this weekend at Riverbend disc golf course at Milo McIver State Park. This Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) sanctioned National Tour event is one of ten in the nation to be held this year. Over 300 disc golfers will compete for cash and prizes during the three day event, starting Friday May 22nd and concluding Sunday May 24th.

We had a great night at Next Adventure with 18 members showing up and several exciting developments announced. Top on my list of exciting news is the scheduling of our next work party on November 8th at Leverich Park in Vancouver. If you haven't been following along, the course is approved, baskets are on order and Stumptown along with a couple other organizations will be pouring cement for tee signs and collars on that day. We'll provide lunch and cement, bring your muscles, shovels, wheelbarrels etc.

Summer is officially over. I know that because I heard it on the radio and read it on the internet. I can also tell because I got rained on playing disc golf last week. That also means we are getting closer to the Stumptown Winter Series events! Speaking of getting closer, we are very close now to having our first public disc golf course in Vancouver. The baskets have been ordered and all that needs to be done now is the installation. Please mark November 8th on your calendar and plan to come to Vancouver for a great day improving a local park.
