GQ Active magazine was launched earlier this month and has a regular
feature on "Obscure Sports" in "The Locker" section. Disc Golf was
selected as first sport to feature in this section. It is a short
factual piece with a picture of me putting and paragraphs on what the
game is about, basic rules, where it is played, equipment and contact
address.
The next edition of GQ Active should feature an article by me on
"How To Throw A Frisbee"
Quite separately, following my success in winning the Belgian Open I
contacted the local press and stories appeared in the Coventry Evening
Telegraph and Leamington Spa Courier.
Publicity for the British Open should be easier to get following a call
earlier this week from an american golfer. He and a friend are planning
to fly over specially to play the Open! Quite impressive in itself, but
his friend is Bob Vanderboss former PDGA World Champion (Masters Division)
Publicity and big names are very welcome but we actually need to grow the
sport at the grass roots level - if you are an Ultimate player who fancies
trying out disc golf, please make contact or come to a tournament - ALL
standards are welcome.
Why not start with Britain's most popular tournament The Quarry Park Open?
QPO3 will take place at my course near Leamington Spa on May 24/25. There
are 18 baskets and no hole is longer than an Ultimate pitch (120m) - you
can use your Ultrastar if you like!
