DISC GOLF in Russia

[Hwicha]

Greetings,

Just to let you know that there are people playing DG in St.-Petersburg, Russia. We have a club established with regular weekly handicap.

Our web page is http://discgolf.stop4sport.ru

You might want to learn that this year we plan our first ever RUSSIAN DISC GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP. It is not an Open event but you most welcome to come and support the real "birth" of the sport in Russia. For this special event we produce TFR disc to raise funds for the first Russian DG park. (We got permission to build one!)

So, go ahead and pre-order you copy of disc right now here:

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for supporting disc golf in Russia.

Potsimu tag doroga?

[Hwicha]

No-no, trust me it is not expensive! Ebay sold our discs for 80 to 125 USD.
I have only 10 or so discs left and thinking of raising the price even higher. They will be gone by the end of the week even if I ask for 40 per disc.
It is very rare collectable disc, only 150 were made.
We need to rais emoney to buy baskets for first DG park in Russia,

Thanks,

Yuri

Well, we did not have any official seasons yet, this is our first one. But I can say there are 3-4 favorites. We can more or less say after the 19-20 of May when we will have our first Tournament.

As for now I think it will be anfair to the other players to say that it's -
me !

No-no-no, just kidding.

Yes, I can understand that. That's why I suggested your President for the title - because of his suitable name for it - until you officially take his place.

Well, my job right now is to push disc golf forward in Russia as hard as I can. This summer I am moving to UK and it will be much more difficult to coordinate from there. So, you got to do what you got to do...

By the way.... only 6 TB-Ls left...2 green, 1 yellow, 1 orange 1 blue and one very cool coffee color.

I think you do the right thing promoting the sport as disc golf (Диск Гольф).
Does it exist any Russian word for frisbee?
I have two green "regular" frisbees (probably about 25 years old) with the text "летающая тарелка" (but I figured out that it means flying saucer) and "Lidojošais šķīvis" (the same in Latvian).

[Hwicha]

Well, first Tournament is done. The attendance was good for the start - 16 players. The winner is Georgy Fedorof of St.-Petersburg. He will be playing for us at EO 2007. So I guess he's the nest player in Russia right now. Though, just for the record - I didn't play.

Actually according to the rules the name of the sport has to be spelled "диск-гольф". There if no russian name for Frisbee and we just call it "фризби" or disc.
