Spring Break & NCDGC Come to an End
The 2013 National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships finally came to an end this afternoon after 4 long days of competitive play at the Hippodrome Disc Golf Complex in North Augusta, SC.
Crowning an Individual National Champion
The players filled the courses at the Hippodrome complex Saturday with excitement and anticipation for individual competition. Team play is not only about how they can function as a unit, but also the individual pieces of the puzzle. Now, instead of all playing together, the teams were split up and spread out over the two courses. Singles play leaves the door wide open for the leaders to slip, and the chasers to become the chased.
Day Two Of the Collegiate Nationals
Day two of the 2013 National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships played host to some very exciting disc golf action. As the players arrived to the Hippodrome complex, they were treated to sunny skies and much better weather than the previous day. The scores were proof of that, as the competitors began to light it up.
Worlds Biggest Disc Golf Weekend
For 23 years this event has been spreading and sharing the sport of disc golf around the world. Creator, John Houck started this event to promote the sport for a healthier lifestyle. Over the years, this event has been hosted in over 200 cities and 15 countries. The event was always disc golf's version of a "fun run," with an emphasis on participation rather than competition. However, participants can still host tournaments and join in this worldwide celebration of the sport.
Wet Start to the National Collegiate Championships
Day one of the 2013 National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships kicked off with a boom...literally. The skies opened up overnight and continued to drench the Hippodrome complex throughout the day. Fortunately for the players, they only were required to play one round today, and the action was preceded by the typical fanfare that only a National Collegiate Championship could offer.
The National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships
Well, Spring has sprung in North Augusta which means the flowers are blooming, the Masters is just around the corner and, more importantly in the disc golf world, the National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships are about to get underway. The NCDGC is the National Championship crowning event for collegiate disc golf. It is a team event with schools from across the country competing for the title of National Disc Golf Champions.
