REMINDER – PARK REGULATIONS
We have been asked to remind everyone using the disc golf course at Tyler State Park that alcohol is not permitted at the park. Also, please do not bring or use any other illegal substances at the park. The park rangers may be making more rounds due to complaints.
Let’s keep this course enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation.
Marie Fry President, Bucks County Disc Golf Alliance
The BCDGA has been very busy this spring with events and tournaments. Here are some quick recaps:
April 29 was an exciting fun-filled day as the BCDGA joined with Bonnie Tobin, Environmental Education Specialist, Tyler State Park, to host mini disc golf clinics for local Girl Scouts, Brownies and 4H members. Thanks to the BCDGA club members who volunteered their time to help instruct and guide over 110 participants.
May 12 was the annual Ladies Clinic. Attendance was expected to be lower as the Women’s Global Event was taking place that same day. However, 12 beginner and Intermediate ladies were there for the morning session. It was a wonderful group to work with and 3 of the ladies left with all the disc golf equipment needed to get them started. The afternoon session had 4 women in attendance with Bob Graham leading discussion on rules, situations in tournament play and other topics. Different grips, stances and throwing techniques were also explored. Again, many thanks for those who helped throughout the entire day and all those who donated items for the ladies. Note: Attendees of this clinic have been seen playing on the course. And – one lady brought a guy new to the game to show him how to play – that’s progress!! We are planning to hold another Ladies Clinic on a Sunday – date has not been determined yet.
The GE Am Cup saw 89 amateur players battling it out on the course. Many thanks to Stu and Eric for all of their hard work. Sincerest appreciation goes to the grounds crew and numerous volunteers who had the course looking AMAZING. Kudos to the spotters and other volunteers who helped the players and kept everyone moving. And finally, we are very grateful to the Sponsors of the Great Eastern Amateur Cup. Thank you for a fantastic event.
I am very proud of the individual members who are the Bucks County Disc Golf Alliance. We still have a busy schedule ahead of us – Let’s keep up the good work. In fact – let me share a quick story with a back-handed compliment: Tim and I were with friends at another course recently, telling a player from out of state that he should play at Tyler if he got the chance. We were telling him how great the course looks right now with all of the work that has been done. Another player familiar with our course said, “Yeah. Could you guys slow down a little? You’re making the other courses look bad.” I’m okay with that!
Thank you!!! :) Marie

Our biggest intention for this event is for everyone to have fun. The certain likelihood of thunderstorms most of the day would put a big damper on the fun. And to keep everyone safe, we have decided to postpone until May 20. See you then. Thank you for your understanding.
The 2011-2012 Winter League party will be held on Sunday, May 20. The fun will begin at Tyler State Park with the Mega Money Madness fundraiser tournament beginning at 8:30 AM. The final rounds of the Madness will be at “Baker’s Acres” – 19 Schan Drive, Northampton Township, PA 18966.
The Mega Money Madness is open to everyone – even if you did not play Winter League. The proceeds from this zany event go to the 2012 20th Anniversary of the Eric C. Yetter Memorial Champions Cup to be held in September.
Bring your game, your strategy and your supporters – let’s have fun and another successful event!!
