1998 WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT THE ALBERTA DISC SPORTS ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED A ALBERTA DISC GOLF TOUR, THEREFORE THE TOUR FOR 2002 IS IN IT’S FIFTH YEAR AND HAS ALREADY DEVELOPED SOME GREAT TRADITIONS. OUR INTENTION IN 2002 IS TO BUILD ON THESE TRADITIONS, AND (WITH THE HELP OF A GREAT TEAM OF TOURNAMENT ORGANIZERS), TO TAKE ANOTHER STEP OR TWO AHEAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR PLAYERS AND THE PROMOTION OF OUR SPORT.

AS PART OF THIS DOCUMENT YOU WILL FIND A LIST OF THE EVENTS ON THE 2002 ALBERTA DISC GOLF TOUR. THESE TOURNAMENTS HAVE BEEN SCHEDULED SO THAT THERE IS A REASONABLE BALANCE BETWEEN EVENTS IN THE SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN PARTS OF THE PROVINCE. WE ALSO HAD TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION OTHER COMMITMENTS FROM OUR TOURNAMENT DIRECTORS, WHO WORK HARD TO PUT THESE EVENTS ON FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY.

WE ALSO ATTEMPTED TO ENSURE THAT WE HAD A LEAST ONE EVENT ON EACH OF THE ‘BEST’ COURSES IN THE PROVINCE, AND THAT ‘TRADITIONAL’ EVENTS EG: ‘THE BIG BEAR’ AT CANMORE, WERE HELD ON WEEKENDS WHERE WE COULD ATTRACT THE GREATEST NUMBERS OF PLAYERS AND THE FEWEST NUMBERS OF ‘REAL’ BEARS.

IMPUT ON THIS SCHEDULE CAME FROM DISC GOLFERS IN NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN ALBERTA, WHICH WAS ESSENTIAL IN MAKING THE TOURING AND TRAVELING ASPECT OF THE TOUR FAIR FOR EVERYONE.

THIS 2002 TOUR SCHEDULE HAS BEEN UNDER DEVELOPMENT NOW FOR NEARLY TWO MONTHS. ALL OF THE VENUES HAVE NOW BEEN CONFIRMED, SO WRITE THESE DATES DOWN ON YOUR CALENDARS AND START MAKING YOUR PLANS TO ATTEND THE 2002 ALBERTA DISC GOLF TOUR NOW! SEE YOU IN OLDS FOR SPRING SEEDING!

MORE INFORMATION ON THE 2002 ALBERTA DISC GOLF TOUR WILL FOLLOW AT REGULAR INTERVALS.
