The first Steve Werner Memorial Grant was announced at the 2011 Crane Creek Ace Race. It was awarded to Greg Goben, long time UFOS member and one of the first to joint the Disc Golf Outlaws. The grant was given for outstanding contributions to North Coast disc golf. Greg show up at Crane Creek, weed whacker in hand, ready to do battle with vicious weeds and hyper-stimulated grasses at a moments’ notice. He doesn’t need to be asked, he just does it. Any time there is a tournament, Greg is usually the first to volunteer to help. He happily transports baskets and boxes, adds up scorecards and sets up courses, contributing his time and resources whenever and wherever needed. We just wanted to say, Thanks, Greg, noted and appreciated.

Tuesday, September 20th, Steve Werner would have turned 41 and I know he would have spent the day playing a couple of rounds and hoisting a brew or two with his friends. Come join us on Tuesday, September 20th at 5pm, on the course that bears his name, in honoring Steve and celebrating the sport that was his passion.

The Steve Werner Memorial Disc Golf Course @ Crane Creek will host the 2011 Ace Race. For details and to enter please see the Crane Creek Announcement Page.

The Steve Werner Memorial is a PDGA sanctioned “C” tier tournament designed
to introduce the novice or recreational player to disc golf as a tournament
sport. We encourage participation by offering the tournament experience
with lower entry fees, an experimental rating structure and a one day format.
The experimental format groups players in only three classifications: A Pool,
for the Pro or very experienced tournament player, B Pool, for the amateur
player who has been playing for while and is familiar
with tournament play, and C Pool, the player who is new to the sport of disc
golf or who has never before been involved in a tournament. A quarter of
our field this year was comprised of the “C” Pool player, and half of
those have stated that they may be entering a more advanced tournament this year.
We consider that a great success.
