Morley Field Disc Golf Course

The Escondido City Council this week agreed to let the San Diego Aces Disc Golf Club install and maintain an 18-hole disc golf course on the northern end of Kit Carson Park near the amphitheater, with Bear Valley Parkway as its eastern boundary.

Read more about it at the San Diego Aces Disc Golf Club website. We should ALL thank the Aces Board of Directors for the many, many hours of hard work to get this and other (upcoming) courses in the San Diego County area!

Join the SD Aces soon to support the building of new courses!

17 SD Aces members showed up early Sunday morning ready to put their tags on the line, with Angel Garcia bringing in the low tag #16.  It was a perfect day to play disc golf with clear skies, no wind, and warm Socal weather. While the Chargers were on TV running over the Chiefs, the course opened up and lines were very short allowing a steady pace round.  It was Mike B. who ended up shooting an impressive -10, taking the Winner spot and selecting a custom stamped 2009 Sun Valley Star Boss from the grab bag prizes donated to the Aces by its members.  Grace Rivas, San Diego Aces newest member, signed up this morning for a 2009 membership to play in the challenge and ending up winning a custom Tie-Dye stamped 2009 End of the Trail Classic Avenger SS from the $1 raffle.  What a great reward for becoming a member!

Plan on attending the San Diego Aces BBQ after the final round of the Morley Field Monthly this Saturday August 15th. All proceeds go towards new course installation. They will have burgers and hot dogs for sale in addition to disc golf games such as CTP, putting contest, etc… They will be set up by hole 8 and hope to see you there.

There was an ACES Bag Tag Melee held at Morley Field on April 11.  Twenty five players showed up on a windy and overcast afternoon.  Highlight of the round was Aaron van Matre’s ace on hole 15 with a pro Firebird.  Kevin Gomez and Mike Tyberg shot the top rounds (-5.)
