VIC women lead from the front!

Written and compiled by Darren Stace-Smith – Victoria

In the lead up to the 10th annual Vic Open in a few days, we had a short Q & A with some of the women who are pushing Disc Golf in Victoria at the moment. All are active participants in the competitive scene here in Victoria (in both Geelong and Melbourne). Hear their insights on the game, what drives them, and their goals for 2017. If you see them out at the Vic Open, don’t forget to say g’day!

A word from the president…

Hello fellow Disc Golfers,

I would like to take the time to say what a privilege it is, to be the new chairman of the ADG. I will do my best to keep the train on the track and heading in the right direction.

We would like to thank Neil Roberts and all the existing ADG board members who stepped down this year. Thankyou for all your efforts in past years. We welcome all the new members that have stepped up this year to fill those positions. And also thank the people that have stayed on the committee for another year.

The board has had some big changes this year. Some new roles have were added to the committee. These positions have not existed in the past, so I’m looking forward to seeing what we can achieve over the next 12 months.

Please feel free to contact the ADG on info@australiandiscgolf.com. Or, contact me directly via email, Facebook or phone if you feel you have an idea that will help the sport we all love grow.

Cheers.

David Bandy
