Ottawa Disc Golf Club

It is with tremendous sadness that we recognize the passing of our fellow disc golfer and friend, Dusan Nedelko. Dusan was an avid outdoorsman and introduced disc golf to the area of South River, installing courses and running tournaments. Through his involvement with the disc sports in schools program, Dusan also introduced the sport of disc golf to thousands of Ontario’s youth. He was extremely generous and supported his community and friends on every occasion. He will be missed greatly.

The ODGC is happy to announce that it has secured an agreement with the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Carleton District School Board that will see disc golf remain as an offering for another five years in the area of Beaverbrook Park.

The Ottawa disc golf community, and in particular those enthusiasts that frequent the Kanata disc golf course, can look forward to at least another five years of disc golf in Kanata through the support of the ODGC, the City of Ottawa, and the OCDSB.

The ODGC’s 2009 Presidents Cup Series came to a close on Saturday, November 21 at Flat Mountain Disc Golf Course.

Geoff Penton ended his run for the 2009 Presidents Cup in style by winning the Ottawa Match Play League III – his sixth tier 2 win of the year. Geoff finished with 2550 points, 376 points over second place finisher, Carl Visser, and 525 over third place, Eric Vinet.

The Club is also proud to recognize this year’s Bourgie Saucer Race winner, Andrew Vallee, for the improvement he’s made to his game and his dedication to the sport and the Club. This award was named after ODGC President Paul Bourgeois who developed the handicap system for the Tuesday Night League (TOSS). The system levels the playing and provides players with an easy way to measure their improvement.

The inaugural PC Series saw 32 ODGC members (and 13 non-current ODGC members) compete in 10 events, run by 6 TDs, on 7 temporary and permanent disc golf courses, from February to November.

Now that’s alotta golf!
