The Battle at Brigade & WGE 2024
Presented by Disc connection
Attention all disc golfers! We are excited bring you another running of a disc golf tournament in 7th Brigade Park in Chermside on Saturday 18th May 2024.
The Battle at Brigade & WGE 2024 is hosted by the Brisbane Disc Golf Club and will form a stop on the 2024 Queensland Disc Golf Tour as well as play a part in promoting Women's sport by joining forces with the 2024 Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) Women's Global Event.
Did you know that 7th Brigade Park was originally used as a training ground for Australian soldiers during World War I and II? Well, we like to think of our sport as a battleground of sorts, where players strategise and battle it out for the win. And what better place to host this tournament than a park with such a rich military history, 7th Brigade Park is the perfect setting for our own little "battlefield."
The 2024 tournament will consist of two rounds of 18 holes on the Battlefield Layout. There will be a mixture of long wide fairways requireing power and angle control as well as short techincal holes requiring touch and finesse. Utilising the natural layout of the park, many fairway edges will play as rough, causing you to play from often difficult lies as well as some well placed OB to test the accuracy and resolve of all participants. Some of the holes will be familiar to thoise that participated in 2023, althoughh we are attempting to incorporate some of the soon to be installed permenant holes which will form paret of the 9 hole course as well as a mixture of new holes plus a few from 2023.

Disc connection was a business that grew out of love for the sport and a passion to see it grow in Australia. Although love and passion was one of the key ingredients to the business the idea was conceived out of frustration by the lack of discs in Australia and the affordability.
The name Disc Connection itself is the mission statement of the business, “to connect people with discs”. What Disc Connection hopes to achieve is to provide the highest amount of disc golf stock and the lowest price for products sales country wide. This means almost all profits go directly back into buying new discs for the first two years of the business.
Each disc you buy, Disc Connection stock two more shortly after.
Disc connection has a wealth of 10 years’ experience in the sport here in Australia. Disc Connectoins are able to assist new players to the game. Get the products they need to start their own journey for the love of the game, and also help seasoned players elevate their game to the next level.
They do things a little differently over at Disc Connection. Disc Connection take a picture and weigh every disc prior to cataloguing on their website so that you get the exact disc that you see online.
