For the first time, the Nanaimo Monthly Tournament was not at Bowen Park.  Traditionally held on the first Sunday of each month, the December 2008 Tournament will be held at the *Brand New* Qualicum Bay Resort course, with breathtaking views, a private setting, and a great varienty of throws.  This is the first tournament held at this course, designed by Dan Walker and located at the prestigious Qualicum Bay Resort with camping, RV facilities, Cabins for rent, and a pool, all headlining the 18 hole disc golf course with two sets of teepads.

The terrain is a mixture of level shots and heavy grades, but provides a large variety of shots with a mix of tunnels, long drives, and raised putting greens around the baskets.  As the trees grow taller, so will the course get harder. 

For anyone who loved the Tonals on the Bowen Park course in Nanaimo, those same tonals are featured here, providing an even mixture of baskets and tonals.  But be careful, these baskets have less chains than the ones in Nanaimo, so some shots straight at the basket may spit out behind it... just a warning to be careful about strong putts :)

We hope there is a great turnout for this event, and are looking to the first strong showing of Juniors, with 3 showing up to battle it out.  12 year old Zyre Hoskins took the division with a whopping 112 on a Par 108 course!  I hope that Juniors will continue to come out in greater numbers for these events, they are such a pleasure to have around, and good to see the sport is growing amongst the groups that will benefit from it the most.  If I only knew about disc golf when I was a kid.

See you at Bowen Park Sunday Dec 6th, to carpool to the Qualicum Bay Resort. 

Directions:  Take Inland Island Hwy to exit 75 (Horne Lake), Go RIGHT at Exit 75, following the road to where it branches, and take that LEFT, where there is a sign in the middle of the fork for Qualicum Bay Resort.  At the Island Hwy, take a LEFT, until you get to the Cone Zone (big ice cream cone) and Henry's Restaurant on your Left, that is the resort. Drive through the gates to the foot of the hill, park and walk up to the course on the back half of the resort, past the RVs and right before the Train Tracks.. that is Hole 1.
