Rusty Ratings is back!!
Kshhhhhhh, can you hear that?
It’s the Rusty Springs flowing in April! Anyone seeking to shake off their winter rust could use a soak in the warm spring weather, or in the hot natural springs.
Shake off that rust at the Rusty Springs at New Sinclair Creek course in Radium Hot Springs.

The Rusty Springs event will be the debut event for the Sinclair Creek course in Radium, BC.
There is still a lot of work to be done on the course, so if you are able to help, email [email redacted] to find out how you can help.

Rusty Ratings Schedule:

April 13: Rusty Ratings I | Rusty Scholar

How does it work?

The CVDGA, with the help of local clubs, are hosting a point series over the span of 4 weekends in the early spring. The series was created as a way to get some PDGA rated rounds early in the season while easing players into competitive disc golf. The series consists of three low-cost tournaments, and the Rocket Bear, one of Western Canada’s fastest-growing events, is now a B-tier event!

New for this year:
Rusty Springs is taking the place of the Rusty Raven, to help establish and promote the course in Radium.
Rusty Nugget will be a two-day event at the Golden Disc Golf Course and Up the Creek.

$5 of each registration goes towards your division series total, with the winner taking home the pot for all 5 tournaments.

REGISTRATION CLOSES AT 10:00pm the night before each event

Players Meeting starts at 8:40am at the Sinclair Creek Parking lot.
