4th Annual Kiwanis Disc Golf Tournament
8/25/08 - The Stoughton Kiwanis will be hosting their 4th Annual Disc Golf Tournament on Saturday, September 6th. As in past years, this will be a fun event to introduce America�s fastest growing sport, disc golf, to the community and raise money for Stoughton Area youth programs.
The tournament is open to players of all levels of experience and skill. Players of similar skill and age levels will compete against one another in an 18 hole, lowest score competition. There are separate brackets for beginning and advanced players with 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes in each division.
Even if you don�t play, the public is invited to come out and cheer on the competitors, support our local youth, or simply to take a walk along the beautiful Yahara River Trail that runs along the Kiwanis Disc Golf Course.
This year�s competitors will be among the first to experience recent improvements to the course made by the Stoughton Kiwanis Club. Working with the city Parks and Recreation Dept., Kiwanians recently spent nearly $2000 to purchase and install permanent state-of-the-art rubber tee pads on the course. By providing a more stable surface, these new pads are expected to help players achieve even longer, more accurate drives under virtually all weather conditions. Players may observe other course and tournament improvements as they compete.
The event will be held at the scenic Kiwanis Disc Golf Course at Amundson Park in Stoughton. The entry fee is only $3 per student, $5 per adult, or $10 per family. Registration starts at 9:00 AM on the day of the event, followed by a shotgun start at 10:00 AM, and Awards Ceremony at noon. If you don�t own a disc yet, a limited supply will be available for sale at the event.

Elver Park's GOT ROC
7/25/08 - 21 tons (about 23 yards) of limestone screening is being delivered to Elver Today.
Brad Wendt and others will be at Elver Park Today from 1 pm until 5 pm moving roc from hole 1 to tees 2, 9, and 18.
If you have a strong back come help. Shovel and gloves will help, some extra shovels and gloves will be on hand.
Other jobs are to clean up wacked weeds at various places on the course and trash removal.
Hole 9 is one hole in need of gathering brush. Pile it some where we can put it in a trailer. A pitch fork or hard garden rake works.
If some one has a mower, some tee areas need cutting. Standing areas for foursomes need to be made on pro tees.
So please stop out and help us get the course ready for the MCO.
