Eight volunteers showed for both the Expo Tree Planting and Paco Clean up days this past weekend. Tina Romero of City and County of Denver wrote a note of thanks to all who showed for the Paco clean up. Thanks go out to those who gave up their time and volunteered!

If you plan on attending either or both volunteer events be sure to:

1. Download the waiver (Expo Tree Planting, Paco Clean Up)
2. Post a comment (Your name, which event(s)) to this item so we have an idea of how many people will show

The City of Aurora is hosting a tree planting this Saturday, April 19, starting at 8 a.m. Participants should meet at the church parking lot on the northeast corner of the park near holes 12 - 13 (Map). The city will provide tools and holes for the trees will be pre-dug. Please download and complete the waiver and bring to the gathering.

Denver Parks and Recreation is also hosting a clean up day at Lakewood Dry Gulch (Paco) this Sunday, April 20, 8 a.m.-12 noon. Please download the event waiver, fill it out and bring to the event. Meet at the parking lot by hole #1 (Map).

Thanks go out to Tom Hamilton for setting the layout for the upcoming 5th Annual Spring Fling at Johnny Roberts Memorial disc golf course on Saturday, April 5. Players can practice the course with baskets in their tournament placements starting this weekend. Download the Spring Fling course map (1.3mb PDF). Please take a minute to view the map in preparation for the event. The hope is that we can post much of the tournament information here before event day to keep the player meeting short and inform everyone as best as possible.

The layout for both rounds will be identical and the only hole that is different between divisions is hole #7 in which Junior and Recreational divisions exclusively will tee from the location marked Drop Zone (next to the bridge).

Oh, be sure and catch a glimpse of the cool tournament art co-designed by Tim Olsen and Tom Hamilton when checking out the course map.

Currently, there are 20 people on the waiting list for Spring Fling. Updates to registration will be posted to both the Mile High forum on this thread and on the Spring Fling event page.

If you have questions or comments about the layout (Larry), please post them within this blog post. If you have registration questions, please email toad@milehighdiscgolf.org.

If you’re not Tiger Woods or one of his mates on the PGA Tour statistics show that you’re playing less and less ball golf. The New York Times recently posted an article stating that the number of ball golfers declined from 30 million to 26 million since 2000. “There just isn’t enough time to play,” said a former golfer.

This is a call to the 4 million of you who abandoned the game you love. Come out to a disc golf course near you and have fun again—you can play two rounds and be home before noon.
