New Basket Positions
With the recent installation of fence posts around some of the heritage oaks to protect them from damage there have been some course changes. Inside these posted areas is Out of Bounds (except on hole 3) Baskets on peaks and troughs, fleethams hollow, under the oak and yellow brick road have also moved.

CANCELLED!!!!! BDGA Tour #2 Frostbreaker - Whitcombe farm, Beaminster, Dorset. Feb 2/3 2013
BDGA Tour #2 Frostbreaker - Whitcombe farm, Beaminster, Dorset
!!!!!!!!CANCELLED!!!!!!!
Held right here in the South west, just south of yeovil (about 1h30 drive away - quicker in a rental!) is the second tour event of the year one possibly the world's most beautiful course* (discgolfcoursereview.com)
First timers to whitcombe are being offered entry for an incredible £2.50 which includes lunches!
The course is very challenging, but with stunning scenery on an organic dorset sheep farm. New players are made most welcome and you might get a pretty high score but throwing 200m off the top of a 1:3 hill on the legendary "hypotenuse" hole makes it all worth while. After play relax in the summer house or the lovely dorset pubs in the nearby town of beaminster resting up to do it all again the next day!
Accommodation is available on site or playing for just one day is possible (although we'd love you to play the whole tournament!)

The tournament will be part of the BDGA tour and as a result be a PDGA C tier event. The course is a challenging parkland course with some wooded holes in ancient beech forest. In April the forest floor is blanketed with Wild Garlic and Bluebells making it a beautiful and fragrant place to play (unless you're in a group with derek robins! :lol: )
Lunches and tournament central will be located in the mansion house, a pretty classy clubhouse!
The course will be especially laid out for tournament play with tee pads and all OB and holes clearly marked with rope.
Bristol is a great city with plenty of interesting things to do on your visit. It is however a cheap British city and their are often very reasonable hotel deals, eating out is very good value and you can get pints of lovely west country cider or locally brewed fine beers for around £3!
Basic Camping will be available 200m from the course, I am also negotiating a deal with the Hostel in the centre of the City for players so budget accommodation options will also be available.
Bristol has a small international airport with flights to most European cities and is often pretty cheap. It is only around 20mins from the course too. Local players will happily pick you up so no need for an expensive hire car or transfers!
If you would like any more information or advice please feel free to contact me, e: bristoldiscgolf@yahoo.co.uk, tel: +447986461345 or skype: mat_cutler

Anhyzer cup results
Write up from saturday by steve kornmuler:
In a hastily organised event Matt Cutler and Mark Fleetham's young and enthusiastic Bristol Disc Golf Club made the three hour journey to Croydon's Lloyd Park to meet the Essex Crew in the first leg for the first ever Anhyzer Cup event. The Essex Club who only had to travel 90 minutes for this their 'home leg' had one late cancelation but that just made a great excuse for one of Bristol's two Ladies to come join up to even things out. :D
With eight a side and the team photo completed by one of the many generous Croydon folks in Rich Wood. We then sorted out the teams in a random blind draw as per usual and got under way on a cold but very mild day as the layers started to come off during that morning Doubles Round.
No handicapping was done yet even though Bristol was sporting six players of eight players on their squad who had been playing only three months or less. Essex of course dominated and threw in a mild upset when Stoddart & Waxman team thwarted what seemed like a sure point for Bristol's Cutler & Fleetham tandem to a draw. Stoddart dominated with Waxman nailing an insane 70 footer to help get that point split.
Kornmuller/THamilton over Talan&Lucy 7 & 2 ESX (this match was at 2 & 1 for a long time, watch out for Talan & Lucy, great form and really good golfers!!! Talan is an Ultimate player and was crushing his Buzzz all over the place while Lucy's forehand with an Eclipse was starting to scare me with it's pin point accuracy and distance!)
CMontague/CPhillips over Nick Ayling/Mark 9 & 0 ESX
Cutler/Fleetham split w/ Stoddart/Waxman 1/2pts Each
Poole/Eagle over RHopper/RHamilton 9 & 0 ESX
Essex Blades 3.5
Bristol Rovers .5
So on to lunch and discussion of handicapping for those six newbies. I first balked at Matt's suggestion of a throw a hole but then realised that that was just a great challenge for the Essex golfers and it was agreed that Seeds 3 thru 7 would receive a throw per hole from Essex during the Singles Round. Besides we're all out here to bring out the new golfers right? Right then! Example on hole 12 when I birdied and Rob Hamilton parred, we pushed the hole since my birdie becomes a par, etc, etc.
This made it very tough as Matt and Mark have taught these rookies well and it was struggle for most of the Essex crew to pull away nay take any kind of an advantage. The two Bristol Ladies(well Tracey who played for Essex is from Basington-Stoke where husband Rob has a little course there just waiting to be discovered by that community) did not give any throws in the number 8 seed.
1) Cutler over Poole 2 & 0 BRT
2) Eagle over Fleetham 4 & 3 ESX
3) Richard Hopper over C.Montague 2 & 1 BRT
4) Nick Ayling over Stoddart 3 & 2 BRT
5) Talan over C.Phillips 9 & 1 BRT !!! :shock:
6) Rob Hamilton split w/Kornmuller 5 & 5 1/2pt each
7) Waxman over Mark 3 & 2 ESX
8) Lucy over Tracey Hamilton 9 & 6 BRT
On the last two holes of the entire day as our group scrambled to finish in twilight's last gleaming Kornmuller managed to even up the match with Hamilton on the trade mark hole's of Squeeky Bum Causeway and Stairway to Heaven where Rob unfortunetly went O.B. to Kornmuller's birdie. That giving up a throw every hole was really a daunting task, especially on the shorter Par 3's and I think that really tested the outlook for a few of Essex's finest. We'll know for next time!!! 8)
Wow, what a way to finish the event and I'm really glad to have met and played with all those new players from Bristol. Looks like `Matt has built something really great there and it will only continue to grow as will hopefully the Anhyzer Cup!!!
Doubles Tally
Bristol Rovers 5.5
Essex Blades 2.5
Final 1st leg @ Croydon
Essex Blades 6.0
Bristol Rovers 6.0
Tied after the first leg?
Smashing!
It doesn't get anymore square than that does it? Job done to the two new Firms!!!
2nd Leg possibilities being discussed are the Sunday after Bristol's One Day-er on January 20th(Matt's one day-er is Saturday the 19th) and the Friday before the 2013 Whitcombe Classic 20 & 21 July. If you register for the 2013 Bristol Open before 13 January, 2013 you get a free entry into Matt's One Day'er on 19 January, see his link here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1483
Big HUGE thanks to Sam Stevens, the Croydon Lion Hearts, Jon Tweed and the Quarry Park Rangers for letting us piggy back onto their longstanding event.
Only problem we saw as we discussed the day's events on the drive home was that we all missed out on hanging out before, during and after with our counterparts playing the Hyzer Cup since we never finished at the same times and of course didn't get to play with them. :(
Well we can worry about that later and just as the 6 Nations Cup was once the 5 Nations Cup we now have started our way to the 4 Nations DG Cup!!! Who knows, in 5 or 10 years we all could be playing each other if we can work this right???
:D
