The Melbourne Disc Golf Club is excited to announce the ‘2023 Melbourne Celebrates’ Tournament, scheduled for July 29-30 at Llewellyn Park, Wantirna South, in the City of Knox.

The event will be two rounds of 18 holes using tee times to open it to as many players as possible. The tournament is an ADG and DGV tour event and a PDGA C tier event.

This is the second annual ‘Melbourne Celebrates’ tournament and we plan to continue it for many years to come. It is a mid-year event where we can reflect on the year so far and celebrate our accomplishments while looking forward to the great things ahead.

One of the aspects that the club is celebrating in 2023 is the many courses that have come online or in the works. The Melton course has been activated, we have a temporary course in Werribee,  Ruffey Lake course has been upgraded to an 18-basket course, Livingstone Primary School has a course up and running, and to top it off –  the course at Bicentennial Park is expected to go in later this year.

In addition to these, our course development team are working with several councils to get temporary courses in so that the councils can evaluate the viability of Disc Golf in the area. The City of Knox is one of these councils, and ‘Melbourne Celebrates’ is a great opportunity to not only try out a new course, but to also show your support for a having a permanent installation at Llewellyn Park.

The tournament committee is excited to be putting together a tournament that will be fun for all with a great course, some awesome players packs, heaps of prizes and cool trophies.

Anthony Pearsall and Jeff Brunsting are the tournament directors and Mike Van der Linden is also on the committee. Mike and Anthony have been working on a course layout that makes the best use of the space available and offers a fun and challenging experience for all players. There are some long holes, some really tight lines and some holes that will make you think, “how am I going to get to that”.

So, mark your calendars – it’s going to be a lot of fun for everyone, and we are looking forward to celebrating with you.
