December 2022 Social Day, Awards Presentation and Skins Match

A Sydney Disc Golf Club Social Event

Our final event for the year and what a beauty! Sunny weather, no wind and a freshly mowed Armory. It hasn’t looked this good all year.

27 players turned up for our final round on the white layout. The ace pot was only $50 but it didn’t take long before our second ace of the year with John Lewis throwing it in on hole 5. Well done John.

With the conditions almost perfect, scores were good and the competition close. Priit Koiv managed to snatch the final win of the year with a -11, just one clear from Mat Wallis and then Mario Tolberg, Danny Su and John Soden another shot back on -9.

In the handicap competition, Kate Sim was firing on all cylinders shooting almost 140 rating points above her average. This was enough to take the win from Che Taylor by 3 shots and Peata Hepi a fraction of a point further behind.
