You might never have been to New Zealand, or even be aware that a fantastic championship course exists in Queenstown - but that does not matter. We need your support to save the course.
Full details are on the petition page.
But what they don't say is that a small number of multi-millionaires want to remove disc golf from "their" Public Recreation Reserve. The course has been installed for 5 years, and used for National Tour events, NZ championships, and local comps.
It is the only championship length DGC in the South Island, and it is very important not just to the locals, but for the whole of NZ disc golf. Losing this course will set NZ back a long way, with internationally sponsored players who live locally having only a pitch and putt style course available in Queenstown Gardens (which is itself under threat, also!).
Currently there are almost 2,300 signatures, but that will not be nearly enough.
The anti-disc-golf faction has retained expensive lawyers, and will outspend the local club by 4 orders of magnitude to get what they want. The one and ONLY response the club has, is the number of supporters of the course.
The Department of Conservation who control the Recreation Reserve are weak and pathetic, and they will capitulate in the face of tiny numbers of millionaires with deep pockets, unless we are able to show overwhelming support for this very important course.
Here's a video of the course. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuKOhUUYO-4
Please help us save Tucker Beach!
