2004 Victorian Disc
Golf Open at Whittlesea
report by Greg Sparksman Sept
'04
Players of the 2004 Victorian Disc Golf Open at Whittlesea
were greeted with a picturesque panorama of the Kinglake
National Park which surrounds the course.
The event welcomed overseas
players, Yorck Burneleit from Germany & Liron Atlas
from Israel, and interstate players from Hobart, Brisbane
& Canberra.
The weather was cool
sunny with little winds after rain & strong winds
earlier in the week. Competition day on Friday was Stuart
Jones, the TD's 59th birthday. The players' long trek
to the event was his best present he received!
The course is well maintained
by club workers. It has some long, wide open fairways
with several OB dangers, & tight difficult treed
fairways requiring precision drives, approaches &
putts. Most holes were well protected by trees &
OB areas.
There was a three way
leaders' tussle for most of the final nine holes. The
second last hole was bogeyed by Tim Marchback from Brisbane,
leaving Harvey Yarnall from Hobart & Ian Whitehead
(Melbourne) as co-leaders. The last hole saw Ian's approach
hit a tree, while Harvey's precise approach landed near
the hole. Though out-driven on most holes by Tim &
Ian, it was Harvey consistently precise approaches &
putts which won the title for him.
