PARTICIPANTS from Adelaide and Victoria converged upon the Crater Lakes Disc Golf Park to compete in the first Ace Race event hosted by Mount Gambier Disc Golf.
An array of both regular and first-time local disc golfing enthusiasts were also present.
The competition standard course saw the majority of its 18 holes shortened into novelty options to assist in the sole aim for each competitor to accomplish the most holes in one, or aces.
A total of 16 aces were achieved throughout the competition by no less than 11 different competitors, but it was local club champion Hayden McPherson with a total of three aces who claimed first place and the major prize pack.
Fellow Limestone Coast competitor Lachlan Wookey took second place, with Adelaide-based South Australian Disc Golf president Todd Brooks third, both with two aces each to their names.
Additional events are on the horizon for the Mount Gambier club, with monthly club days set to run year-round, while Australian Disc Golf Tour event dubbed the Centenary Championships is locked in for early January 2019, already open for registrations.
Further ahead the club is very confident in winning bids to host a consecutive South Australian Open in 2019 and potentially its first Australian National Championships.
