Keep an eye here on DGS for events; once we iron out the dates they will be posted.

We do plan to run another sanctioned league this year (likely in the summer).

Disc Golfers!

Thank you so much for the support in 2022 It was an amazingly productive year! We were blown away by the massive amount of support from the community. We exceeded all expectations for membership and fundraising!

2023 has already kicked off with a bang with the new addition of winter indoor putting leagues at Axemann Brewery.

We are really excited for all the events we have planned this year, some classics and some new! Keep an eye out for more info!

In an effort to simplify 2023 membership signup, we created a DGS event:

https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/2023_CCDGA_Membership_Sign_up_2023

We added the option for league passes and a choice of 4 different DD molds for the CCDGA 2023 league pass discs!

Hope to see you all out there again this year!

Thanks for all the support!

Happy Hucking,

Disc Golfers!


The Centre County Disc Golf Association (CCDGA) has reorganized, including a new charter and bylaws. The aim has been to formalize an election process so that members have a strong voice in the club, solidify fiscal and decision-making transparency, and improve our organizational structures so that we better serve the growing demands of the sport in our community. Not only that, we are on our way to becoming a non-profit organization (501c3)! None of this would be possible without the foundation built by the previous leadership group, especially all of the years of hard work by Tricia Lafferty. Even with all of this effort, we can’t do it alone! We have a few upcoming opportunities for you to help the club:


1. Attend the 1st Membership Meeting


The CCDGA is holding its first membership meeting on March 13, 2022 in the Calvary Church at Harvest Fields from 2-4 pm. More details on the exact agenda will be provided soon. We are encouraging everyone to attend this meeting to learn about the new structure of the club, provide input on club plans for 2022, and socialize with other disc golfers.


We will also be holding a disc swap at the meeting. Grab those discs that don’t feel quite right in the hand and find ones that do!


2. Become a Member


Join the CCDGA! Membership costs $15 for new members and $10 to renew if you were a member in 2021. Becoming a member is a great way to grow your game and to get plugged in with the community of local disc golfers. Additionally, your membership includes:


Voting rights in CCDGA elections and referendums

For example, at the upcoming meeting, we will be voting whether or not to begin the capital fundraising process for replacing the old set of baskets at Harvest.

Early sign up for non-sanctioned CCDGA events.

This will include the upcoming Spring Fling, sponsored by New Trails Brewery.

Members-only league passes (see below).

Members-only league tags for Wednesday singles rounds.

Members-only events. This will include events like the disc swap at the upcoming meeting, social events like reserving the fire-pit at Harvest on summer nights, and more.

No-limit acepot. Members will have no cap on the pot for an ace (with the usual $1 buy-in before the round). Non-members will have a $100 cap.


Please fill out the form at the link below to join the CCDGA. You will also have the opportunity to sign up in-person at the March membership meeting. If you purchased a 2022 membership in the Fall of 2021, you do not need to fill out the form or re-purchase a membership.


Membership Form: https://forms.gle/MinNBETiFBDM36i49


Payment: we can accept cash, check (payable to “CCDGA”), or PayPal ([email redacted]).


3. League Fees and Passes


Starting after our March meeting, we will begin collecting a mandatory $2 fee to play league rounds (singles on Wednesday afternoon and doubles on Saturday morning). Previously we asked for a $2 optional donation that went toward building the course at Harvest. That project is largely complete thanks to your generosity! The reason for the new mandatory fee is that the cost of running the club is going to rise substantially. The biggest factor in this increase is that when we become a non-profit organization (which we will this year), we will have to carry liability insurance, which will have an annual cost. We also plan to bring some smaller benefits to league play, such as springing for refreshments on hot summer days or the occasional CTP.


However, when you become a member, you will be eligible to buy league passes that will make the fee much cheaper (for those who come regularly) and make the process one-and-done. Here are the options:


Annual pass: $60, plus a custom stamped disc!

Includes an entire calendar year. This will not include glow rounds.

Fair-weather pass: $30, plus a custom stamped mini!

Specifically, April through September - the sweet spot. This will not include glow rounds.

Glow pass: $20, plus mad respect for playing in the snow!

Runs approximately November through March for Wednesday night rounds.

This pass is separate because of the added cost of batteries for the lights.


Payment: we can accept cash, check (payable to “CCDGA”), or PayPal ([email redacted]).


4. Service


Our Course Director, Edgar, will be setting up workdays at Harvest for maintenance and installing a proper tee pad on hole 6 in the spring. Please keep an eye out for that and other workday projects.


We are currently looking for a few members to take on the role of service member for 2022. In order for a member to be eligible for election or appointment as an officer, a member is required to spend a year as a service member. The primary task of a service member is to gain experience with the everyday operation of the club and become familiar with the commitment and responsibilities of being an officer. This will not be a heavy time commitment. It will involve attending some board meetings, perhaps chairing a committee, and helping out when needed with tournament or event logistics. The importance of volunteering for this role cannot be overemphasized. This is a volunteer organization, and we, the current officers, will not be volunteering forever. The club needs committed people who know how the organization works so that we can keep the club vital and strong down the line. Once you have been a service member once, you have fulfilled the requirement for any future election or appointment, not just the following year.


Please reach out to us online or on the course with any questions. Hope to see you at the membership meeting!

The lost and found box at Harvest Fields was filled to the brim, so yesterday I cleared it out. CCDGA club officers will start doing this regularly so that discs don't hang out there too long, as well as picking up discs that may be tucked in the Bernel box.

We've also created a "CCDGA Lost & Found" spreadsheet that you can view at any time to see if your lost disc has been found. If your number was on the disc, you should have been texted. If you see something that is yours, please get in touch and we'll figure out a way to get it back to you!

REMINDER: Harvest Work Day on Sunday, April 18 starting at 9am.

We'll meet at the uppermost parking lot, behind the lodge. Please remember to bring work gloves. If anyone has any useful equipment, such as chain saws, grass seed spreaders, cordless drills/screw drives, or chain saws, that would be great. Oh, and chain saws are very welcome ????.

For those who come late or for the afternoon shift, we will be primarily working on the unfinished holes before and after current hole 16, which is west of the big ponds. You can always just follow the sound of - you guessed it - chain saw(s).

We really, really appreciate your help and support!

Our next Harvest Fields work day is coming up on Sunday, October 25th at 9am. The focus will be clearing more from the final fairways, and installing the next permanent turf tees! We will have machinery on hand to help with this process - more available people means more turf tees will finally be installed!

In COVID times, we have to be careful and help protect each other. So we will work in small groups on distinct tasks throughout the course. We will be outside and spaced out, but please bring a mask in case a particular tasks requires working closer together.

PLEASE REFRAIN FROM PLAYING DISC GOLF ON THE HARVEST COURSE ON SUNDAY.

Lastly, if you or someone you know has equipment that can help in clearing fairways and hauling gravel and heavy turf, please let us know. All equipment is welcome, but wood chippers, brush hogs, loader tractors, and/or skid loaders would be incredibly helpful.

We have an all-out-blitz work day coming up on Saturday, Sept. 26, starting at 9am. Meet in the upper lot behind the lodge with your work gloves. If you've been enjoying the course this summer, now is the time to pay it forward by coming out and proving how much this course matters to you and the local disc golf community!

The mountain bikers have recently finished their trail system. The disc golf course had to make various adjustments to accommodate the trail and deal with some new erosion issues. To help us with these adjustments, the bikers are rallying their troops to come help us create the new holes.

In COVID times, we have to be careful and help protect each other. So we will work in small groups on distinct tasks throughout the course. We will be outside and spaced out, but please bring a mask in case a particular tasks requires working closer together.

Here is a quick update from your officers...

League play continues using the UDisc league play feature during this social distant time. Thanks to all who continue to come out despite the circumstances!

Our club is hosting the Autumn Harvest singles and glow doubles tournament in October and Huck-A-Thon doubles event in November. Please check out those tournament details on their respective Disc Golf Scene tournament pages, and consider signing up!

Club merchandise is available for a limited time through our new web store!

Your club officers are thrilled to update you about fundraising efforts as a club as we work to improve the Harvest Fields Disc Golf Course!

As a club we've raised $6,264.78 over the past few years toward improvements at the Harvest Fields disc golf course at Calvary Church. After spending money on the turf and lumber for our new tees, we still have a balance of $4,248.95 toward our remaining tee supplies and new baskets. We remain optimistic that ongoing conversations with The Disc Golf Foundation, and conversations with local businesses for additional support, will result in those dollars going even further, which will translate into long-range, ongoing "destination-worthy" disc golf at the Harvest Fields course.

And finally, our league-wide Ace Pot Fund now stands at $251. We cap a league ace payout at $100, which means we have more than two full ace payouts ready for the next two players who have bought in to the ace pot and who connect!

If you would like to make an additional contribution to our club funds, become a Harvest Hole Sponsor, or have ideas for other fundraising, please contact one of our club officers (Tricia Lafferty, Edgar Boord, Chris Anderson, Ben Wideman, or Derek Aggleton)

New information continues to be released about safe practices during COVID-19. Social distancing continues to be important - both as Centre County continues through its stay-at-home order, but also as new research shows that the virus can be transmitted in the air beyond what was previously expected.

If you are going to play disc golf, please consider playing alone. If you see other players, please keep your distance.

Be safe - we want everyone back healthy and well when this is all over.

Centre County Disc Golf Association club officials have been trying to figure out a way to continue to hold this tournament on April 11th as originally scheduled. Unfortunately due to the ongoing concerns around COVID-19, we have decided to postpone the tournament so that it can be done without any player health concerns related to this virus. We want this tournament to be as successful as possible, and your patience as we sort this out is appreciated.

We would be happy to hold active registration for the newly scheduled date when it is announced, or if you have already signed up and would like to be refunded at any time, we would be happy to do so. Simply contact Tournament Director Ben Wideman to begin that refund process.

We will be posting updates on Disc Golf Scene and on CCDGA’s social media spaces in the coming weeks.

Thank you for your understanding, and we can’t wait to hold this incredible tournament.

------------------------------

To our loyal and passionate members around the world, thank you for your continued support and dedication to the PDGA during these very difficult and uncertain times. The world is experiencing an unprecedented health crisis that impacts the lives of each and every individual. While it seems small by comparison, our global disc golf community has also been significantly affected by this pandemic.

Our Board of Directors and PDGA Staff have been working diligently to stay ahead of daily developments related to the coronavirus pandemic, specifically how it impacts the safety and wellbeing of our members, staff, volunteers, and our communities. We made some very difficult decisions in the past few weeks, including the suspension of all PDGA sanctioning as well as the cancellation of several high-profile events. We want you to know that these decisions were not taken lightly. We know how important the competition and the camaraderie of disc golf are, and that suspending PDGA-sanctioned play – an outlet for many during stressful times – has caused disruption. We deeply appreciate the understanding, flexibility, and support of our members and tournament directors in the face of this global health crisis.

While we know you want to be out playing right now, we need your help to set a good example for communities everywhere. That is why we are asking disc golfers to skip the course and stay home. It is something we all have the power to do in this crisis, and while it may seem like a tall task, we are confident it is the best choice to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. This goes for the young and healthy, as well as those considered more vulnerable. We are all in this together.

The PDGA Staff has transitioned to working remotely throughout the duration of the crisis and will continue to operate with very little disruption as we await a return to normalcy. As always, we remain committed to the promotion, growth and sustainability of the sport, and are placing increased emphasis on keeping the health and safety of our communities as our foremost concern. Please follow the guidance of government health agencies and local authorities, and continue to check in at PDGA.com and on our social media channels to keep up to date with the latest news and information, including any additional postponements or cancellations that may be necessary as the situation continues to unfold.

I know that disc golf will emerge from this better and stronger than ever. It won’t be long before the sound of rattling chains will once again fill the air at a course near you. On behalf of the PDGA Staff and Board of Directors, we thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Sincerely,

Justin Menickelli, Ph.D.
PDGA Board of Directors President

Centre Region disc golfers;

Club officers (Edgar, Tricia, Chris, Derek, and Ben) held a meeting today and determined some COVID-19 guidelines moving forward. League play will continue for the time being as long as Centre Region Parks & Recreation continues to have open park facilities, however it will not be as structured as in the past. These are the changes:

- Doubles play at league rounds will be put on hiatus in a desire to limit player contact. Singles play only for now.
- A player meeting will NOT be held before rounds. Simply start a card of 3-4 players and begin play when you arrive.
- Ace pot money will NOT be collected in cash to limit player contact, but you can make donations ($2 or more) to the Harvest Fund or buy in to the $1 ace pot by submitting via the CCDGA league PayPal at [email redacted]. Ace pot MUST be paid in before the league round takes place in order for that player to be eligible.
- Scores cards should be tracked on UDisc and can be submitted in the club facebook group, or directly to Ben Wideman for league tracking on DiscGolfScene.com

Just as in the past few weeks, please continue to;

- Refrain from social norms like high fives, fist bumps, and picking up other players discs/belongings.
- Maintain a 5-6 foot distance from other players when waiting for the next shot.
- Refrain from attending any league or casual rounds if you are experiencing any symptoms or sickness.

Our 2020 CCDGA Players Meeting will now take place online as a Zoom conference call.

Be safe out there!

On Monday, March 23rd, at 7:30pm there will be an online Zoom meeting to discuss the ongoing redesign and improvements that need to be made at the Harvest Fields Disc Golf Course, as well as other club matters.

All disc golf players in the area are welcome and encouraged to join us! We want as many people to join us as possible.

The construction of tee pads and remaining new fairways at Harvest will need to take place this spring and early summer, concurrent with the the mountain biking trail construction (which breaks ground in April). There's a lot to get done! At the meeting, we will (1) detail the plan for the construction process, (2) discuss what needs we have in terms of labor, tools, fundraising, etc., and (3) solicit ideas, critical feedback, and questions from all who attend. Since this course is for the growing disc golf community in our area, we consider this a community project and hope everyone will embrace all the labor and love the course will need to become a gem of central PA.

Meanwhile, as the weather warms up, please keep an eye out for postings for work days at the course. Your time and effort will be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Please don't hesitate to contact Derek Aggleton with general questions about the project, Edgar Boord with questions about working on the course, Tricia Lafferty with questions about club activities, or Ben Wideman, just because he's cool (and he can still order Grip6 belts for you).

CCDGA is hosting a local bracket for the annual US Amateur Match Play Championships.

Cost is $45 and you will receive 2 discs:
1 Dynamic Discs Fuzion Burst Raider
1 Latitude 64 Retro Moonshine Pure

There is no additional cost if you advance to regionals, states, or beyond (other than your travel expenses).

Registration closes March 31st, or when the bracket is full at 16 players.

All Matches are to be completed by the end of April. Matches are randomly paired by UDisc. Once matched, you and your match decide the course, day and time to play. Ideally, it would be recommended to try to get your match completed within 7 days so we can pair up the next set of matches.

PLAYERS MEETING!!!

On Monday, March 23rd, at 7:30pm at the Calvary Church, there will be a public meeting to discuss the ongoing redesign and improvements that need to be made at the Harvest Fields Disc Golf Course, as well as other club matters.

All disc golf players in the area are welcome and encouraged to join us!

We have a little flexibility on the start time for the meeting, so if someone could use a small adjustment to the time, please speak up soon. We want as many people to join us as possible. We are not sure yet which room the Church is graciously allowing us to use, so we'll keep you posted.

The construction of tee pads and remaining new fairways at Harvest will need to take place this spring and early summer, concurrent with the the mountain biking trail construction (which breaks ground in April). There's a lot to get done! At the meeting, we will (1) detail the plan for the construction process, (2) discuss what needs we have in terms of labor, tools, fundraising, etc., and (3) solicit ideas, critical feedback, and questions from all who attend. Since this course is for the growing disc golf community in our area, we consider this a community project and hope everyone will embrace all the labor and love the course will need to become a gem of central PA.

Meanwhile, as the weather warms up, please keep an eye out for postings for work days at the course. Your time and effort will be greatly appreciated (and often rewarded with pizza). Thanks everyone!

Please don't hesitate to contact Derek Aggleton with general questions about the project, Edgar Boord with questions about working on the course, Tricia Lafferty with questions about club activities, or Ben Wideman, just because he's cool (and he can still order Grip6 belts for you).

Sign up today for the Harvest Glow Challenge, and join us each week for the Winter Wednesday Putting League in the barn at Millbrook Marsh!

Wednesday evening putting league is back at 6pm for the remainder of the winter months. It’ll be a $2 fee to play, and 100% of that will go to the CRPR’s Nature Center there at Millbrook for letting us use their barn. Bring 5 putters with you if you can. You can do it with less, but having 5 makes things easier. We have two baskets, and could use at least two more to set them up at varying distances (let me know in the comments if you can bring one). We’ll try to set up some challenging putts as well using obstacles or raised baskets to keep things interesting.

Registration is still open for the Harvest Glow Challenge! As a kick off to our 2020 Harvest Fields Disc Golf Course fundraising efforts, we wanted to start with a glow golf tournament. Get your glow bag ready to take on the Harvest Glow Challenge at this wonderful course.

It was another great year for CCDGA! 2019 was our 8th year of league play.

According to our league round tracking here on Disc Golf Scene, starting when we began tracking on March 16 onward collectively in 2019 our league played;

80 official recorded league rounds including;

37 Saturday rounds
30 Wednesday rounds
13 Monday glow rounds

This included 69 different players! Wednesday turned out to be the most popular option this year, and thanks to Davis' committed attendance note-taking we know that we averaged 10.3 players for Wednesday rounds, 7.4 for Saturday rounds, and 7.4 for the Monday glow rounds.

Our breakdown of singles vs doubles rounds was as follows:
Singles were played 38 times (incl 13 for glow)
Doubles were played 42 times

Our breakdown of area courses this year was as follows:
Harvest 36 times
Bernel 19 times
Circleville 23 times (incl 13 for glow)
Tri-Municipal 4 times

Now for some individual player stats...

The top three spots for the most recorded league rounds (reg+glow) was as follows:
66 for Davis (57+9g)
56 for Cody Hartzell (45+11g)
52 for both Edgar (40+12g) and Derek Aggleton (41+11g)

The top three spots for the most recorded victories was as follows:
Most combined wins - Edgar (23)
Doubles wins - Timmy (13)
Non-glow solo wins - Timmy (7)
Glow wins - Edgar (6)

The best singles score by course was as follows:
Harvest - 49 Edgar x2, Timmy
Bernel - 48 Timmy
Circleville - 41 by Ben
Tri-Municipal - 52 by Colten (we only had one league singles round here)

The best doubles score by course was as follows:
Harvest - 44 by Chris Lonobile and Timmy
Bernel - 41 by Derek and Edgar, and Ben and Dan Chase
Circleville - 42 by Timmy (playing Cali!) (we only had one league double round)
Tri-Municipal - 40 by Timmy and Davis

The best Monday glow round score was a 42, done four times! Edgar twice and Derek Aggleton twice


Other notes -

There was a four round stretch where Derek Aggleton and Edgar were randomly chosen as partners in consecutive weeks and won the league four rounds in a row

This year we had 8 total payout league aces by 8 different players. These were hit by Brian, Cody, Bill, Ben, Rob, and Christopher at day league rounds, and Timmy and Edgar during glow rounds. The 8 aces were spread across all four local area courses (3 at Harvest and C'ville, one each for Bernel and Tri-Muni). This is especially amazing since I don’t think we had a single payout ace over the previous year of league play.

Timmy was the only player to win doubles while playing Cali.

Thanks for a great season! On to 2020!

Get yourself some glow plastic or blinky lights, and get ready to take on Circleville Park Disc Golf Course at night, starting September 16th!

We are able to play for 3 hours past dusk and must ALWAYS be out of the park before midnight.

Help with setup at 7:30pm, tee off by 8pm.

$1 to play - goes to Glow fund for batteries and supplies.

Optional $1 for the Ace Pot.

Also a few reminders to respect the park:

• NO alcohol or illegal drugs in the park, EVER!
• Please remove all trash from the course to the appropriate receptacle.
• If players are smoking, they must dispose of the butts properly. The ground/grasses are very dry right now; we don’t want any fires.

Have fun and throw glow!

Session 2 is now closed, and we had 34 players participating in that session. Tricia, Bill and Tim Mastin are the 3 players moving on to the League Championship, congrats!

We held a Trilogy Challenge bringing out club members and new players to try out some unreleased discs from Dynamic Discs, Latitude 64, and Westside Discs. Bill Lock was the overall winner, and each card also had a winner of some great stuff from the Trilogy!

Session 3 is underway, and we have now split into 2 divisions, Raw Score and Handicapped.
How this works is:
- $5 buy in - you choose raw or handicapped
- You can buy in one day for raw, the other for handicapped
- $7 buy in for both
- You can win for each division
- Points will be awarded for where you finish for each division
- Points winners for each division at the end of the session win a prize
- Point leaderboards will be merged to choose the 3 players for the League Championship
- There will be no change to the Handicap calculation
- The top 2 will be paid out of each division in a 60/40 split

Ace Race September 6th! More info on that soon!

Hey there Disc Throwers!

The season is starting to heat up! We had 28 members out participating in Session 1 of the Handicapped League!
Many players saw great improvements over last year's scores. The players who improved the most ended up winning quite often. Now that many players have had several weeks in, the handicaps have dropped significantly, evening out the playing field.

Last session saw Buko sweep the points series, scoring himself a Selders Metal Mini! Buko, Matt, and Danny were the first 3 players to win a spot into the League Championship! The Ace Pot climbed up to $150 with no one hitting it! We rolled over $50 into the pot for Session 2, and put $100 into the League Treasury. CTP's have started back up for Session 2, and we have some great stuff coming for that!

We have a the Trilogy Challenge coming up very soon, registration is due Sunday June 1st. You can get signed up right here on Disc Golf Scene!

So excited for this year of fun! Hope to see you all soon!
