Cacti, rocks, crevasses, severe winds, and some pretty intense heat could not keep 50+ players from attending the '08 Lost Egg Classic held in Starland County this past weekend. After playing 40 holes each day, many discs were lost and bodies scratched, but the parties after each round were enough to keep everyone going and having fun.

The Champion for the '08 Lost Egg Classic was none other than Glen Oliviero.

The 2008 River City Cup was a great success, 60 participants took to the course in the two day event, with some of the best disc golf ever seen at Rundle Park.  The amazing skills of one of the great legends of disc golf Glen Whitlock, from Gibsons, B.C., were a pleasure to watch and at the end was crowned the 2008 River City Cup champion.

The summer solstice tournament and festival at Park 96 in Calgary was a great success, over 65 players took part in the event, the Friday night music festival that included the Wall-flowers was more then enough to get you pumped up for the seemingly easy yet technical course everyone enjoyed playing in. Notable EDGA members in this event were:

Chad Game - 3rd. place - Pro division
Mo Robillard - 4th. place - Masters division

Below are the immediate steps that will take place as we move forward with this project.

Even strong winds could not keep this players away from attending the first annual Night Owl Cup held this past Saturday in Wetaskiwin, through it all Edmonton players came out strong and represented in the following divisions...

The second tour event of the season, the 2008 Big Bear Classic was a great success, with over 65 participants from Alberta and B.C., which took place in beautiful Canmore at the Nordic Centre Disc Golf Park. The course was very challenging and technical, which made the competition close for all divisions.
