Hard’Ack: Hey fellow disc golfers. As many of you know, the organization that owns and maintains the Hard’Ack Recreation Area in St. Albans, Vermont has decided to install a 9 hole disc golf course on the property.
More Elections?!? (GMDGC Year End Meeting-Party-Thing)
November is here, the snow has begun to fly and the white discs we all carry will soon be in hibernation. This means we are beginning to look ahead to next year’s disc golf season, and we need everyone’s input.
Events up North
There are a few events the next two weekends being hosted by our disc golf friends in the Jay area. Check out the events page for details.
Fall Platter!!!! (and Bag Tag)
Woo Hoo! The leaves are changing, its 30 degrees when you wake up and that can only mean 2 things: 1) Its Autumn and 2) Its time for the soon to be world-renowned fall disc golf tournament known as the Fall Platter. The GMDGC would love to thank everyone for a great year. We hosted [...]
Hard’Ack Work Day
Hey fellow disc golfers. As many of you know, the organization that owns and maintains the Hard’Ack Recreation Area in St. Albans, Vermont has decided to install a 9 hole disc golf course on the property. The GMDGC has offered its help and support with course layout and design and with leading and providing some physical labor to help prepare the area.
At Long Last!
Many apologies for the long delay in updating the website. I have lots of excuses, but the one I prefer to use is that I’ve been playing too much disc golf (is there such a thing?). Regardless of my excuse let’s hit a couple of highlights of the last 2 months: 1. VT STATES – [...]
HOT Stuff!!!
Yeah, so we all know the weather is hot, but did you know that Adam McCabe is also? Thursday July 13, Adam reminded us all why we play Thursday Night Triples as he stuck an Ace on Hole #11 and walked home with $149 in ace pot cash. Nice Work Adam! I must point out [...]
VT States is Coming
Vermont States, kindly being hosted by the North Calais Disc Golf Club, is taking place on July 29, 2006 at the North Calais Disc Golf Course. This event is a NEFA Single Points event and the Vermonter with the best score earns a spot at the USDGC. As we know VT is a really cool [...]
Is this thing Broken?
So seriously! Who hired this web update guy anyway? Many apologies for the long hiatus between updates. My only marginally valid excuse is that I have been touring the countryside over the last month playing in many wet and rainy disc golf tournaments. So whats new? We have had another montly Bag Tag and many [...]
FINALLY – Sap Bucket Results
I know most people have probaly already found the Sap Bucket results posted at the NEFA website, but for those who haven’t, you can find them under the Events page under Scores of Events Past.
Off to the Races!
The first TNT and Bag Tag Monthly have both passed and what a great start! 16 people participated in the first ever TNT at Waterbury Center. That meant 5 teams were in search of the $. The competition was fierce, but Pete Hess, Jon Nelson and Dave Carter edged out the #2 team by one [...]
Thanks – Couldn’t have Done it Without You
In case you aren’t a regular reader of NEFA discussion, the following post was from Ben Parker, Tournament Director Extraordinaire. I would say it echos the thoughts of all of us at the GMDGC. In addition, I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to pass on your comments – both [...]
What’s Next?
Don’t want to take away from the statement below, so I’ll keep this short. After you read below, check out what’s coming up for the GMDGC to the left in the upcoming events area.
Good News, Bad News and Great News
The Good News: Its April 21, 2006 and that means that today is the day that Center Chains re-opens. Thanks for your patience during the mud-season closing. This closing was the first since the course has been installed and due to difficulty in determining appropriate communication channels, it caught a lot of folks off guard [...]
Dag Nab IT! The tourney is full!
Seriously though! The Sap Bucket is about 10 people shy of full. That means two things. One, If you didn’t sign up for the tourney, please don’t come looking to play on Saturday April 22, 2006, the course will be full. Secondly, if you think you want to play you better contact Ben Parker now.
Website Updates Like No Others
For all one of you keeping close tabs on the website you will have noticed some major changes. We have recently added new content on some really cool subject matter such as, “Who is the GMDGC anyway?” and “What is disc golf anyway?”. With the addition of the the About GMDGC, About Disc Golf, Bag [...]

If mud didn’t stop you, This will – PLEASE READ BEFORE HEADING TO WATERBURY
Think its hard to play disc golf in the mud? Try playing disc golf in the mud with NO BASKETS! Local Pro, Matt Alberghini, also happens to be skilled in the art of basket weaving… well disc golf basket welding is probably a little more accurate. The baskets which Matt made have served us well [...]
