Louie Miller finds himself "basket high" while putting into the Reed's Revenge basket on Hole 12
Course work has begun on the new 13th hole at the Kiwanis DGC. In the first phase, brush has been cleared. Tee box and basket sleeve construction will follow. The new hole will tee off near the disc golf shed, with the basket tucked into the woods near the current hole 14 blue fairway. The hole is scheduled to open by the 2012 TAG Tournament, slated for March 17.
When the changes are completed, the current hole 10 will disappear. The ten basket sleeve will become an alternate sleeve for hole nine. Hole 11 will become hole 10, hole 12 will become hole 11, hole 13 (the pond hole) will be become hole 12, and the new hole will be hole 13.
The construction is taking place under the direction of SDGC President Louie Miller.

Due to the overwhelmingly impressive disc golf performance by Royce Carter last Saturday during the final TAG League match of the year, the name of the red tees to orange baskets layout (formerly RORANGE) has been changed. Henceforth, the layout shall be called “ROYRANGE.”
Thanks to the hard work of the employees of Carson Enterprises, the red tee box on hole 2 is now open for business. Enjoy!
