Hello all! I'm not new to the sport of Disc Golf, but have recently gotten to be rather serious in the sport. So, I was wondering if anyone knew if there are any active leagues in the Shreveport/Bossier City area. I am interested in playing with some other people and using them to make my game better. Thanks for the info!
Shreveport doesn't have what you would really call a league (or at least it never has). They do host weekly mini tournaments though. From what I've seen on the discussion boards lately, it sounds like there is one going on at Clyde Fant on Wednesdays.
I don't think there has ever been true league play here. But for the last five years we have run a mini using a handicap scoring system at Highland (Shreveport) Park on saturdays at 3pm (2pm during winter months). And, as Trackin wrote, a mini takes place at Clyde Fant Disc Golf Park on wednesday evenings at 7pm, using random-draw doubles format. For more info about either event, call me at 318-762-7612, message me on this forum or email me at highlanddiscgolf@hotmail.com.
I would like to get in some of these minis, but I work evenings so it's not really possible. If there are enough people interested, maybe we could form the first league in the SB area. I know that I would like to do that and would be able to play in it if we could do morning or afternoon play. Thanks for all the info.
I can't say for sure, but have heard that Joe Bison has expressed a desire to start a league here. I have his cell number, if you need it. Also, there is Sunday morning mini at Ford Park, hosted by Mike Quinn.
