On Sunday May 5th, the ODGC will be hosting a tournament for the Big Brothers/ Big Sisters at the Kanata Disc Golf Course. All Big Brothers/Big Sisters are invited (invitations have been sent to BBBS Ottawa and GFGS Outaousis).

This free event will be about 3 hours (1/2 hour instructions/demo plus about 2 hours of play). It will be alternating shot (big/little). The event will start at 1pm.

The ODGC will provide the disc golf discs (there are different discs for driving, approaching and putting). Participants should wear appropriate footwear and clothing for walking and throwing discs in a park.

Beautiful day yesterday for disc golf. We had 26 people from Big Brothers/Big Sisters attend plus we had 6 club members volunteer (Eric, Kyle, Jeff L, Ryan, Luke and Mike, plus a friend of Ryan).

Started off with some putting/driving demos/practice then we played some disc golf. Depending on the card, we played between 9 and 18 holes (played short tees then long tees, alternating shot - 'little' throws, 'big' throws, 'little' throws etc). Ended with a ring of fire.

I had the 3 youngest 'littles' on my card and from their comments, they thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. Eric had the oldest 'littles' on his card and afterwards they were talking about coming back and playing again.
