8th Annual Brent Anderson Memorial
presented by
Flying Ace Farm
Join us for the 8th Annual Brent Anderson Memorial presented by Flying Ace Farm on Sunday, June 9th at Clark’s Run!
The spirit of Brent Anderson is woven throughout Clark’s Run, soaring above the trees and swimming in the streams. Every spring, we get together and celebrate Brent’s life by playing disc golf on the course he loved and poured his heart and soul into.
This will be a True Amateur Event again this year (per PDGA CM 2.05). We’re building a sweet player pack for all amateurs that includes a Justin Lago event stamp disc, a LoCo Disc Golf logo mini, and a custom printed Clark’s Run course map towel.
There will be trophies for all division champions provided by Rugged & Rustic Creations and our presenting sponsor Flying Ace Farm Distillery & Brewery will host everyone at the farm afterward for a couple of cold beverages on the house.
This event is also a LoCo Disc Golf Club fundraiser for the ongoing maintenance and development of Clark’s Run Disc Golf Course. Since last year’s event, we’ve added a new basket location and two new tee pads thanks to a legion of volunteers and contributions from players like you. All proceeds from this event go right back into the course we’re playing on.
The tentative layout for this event will be White tees to Yellow baskets with exceptions noted below:
2 – Short pin (new)
4 – Blue tee
8 – Red tee (new)
We’ll be starting on hole 2 this year and, as noted, it will be in the new(ish) short pin position. This is closer to the water and surrounded by OB on all sides. To ease your fear, or at least distract you from it, Rob Stark is sponsoring the $1000 Bluechip Bounty which will reward those who ace hole 2 but ONLY if you choose the $5 Bluechip Bounty Ace Pot option during registration.
We look forward to seeing you in June and remembering our good friend Brent!
Your Tournament Directors,
Steve Ganz & Stephan Evers

It’s that time once again, friends. Tis the season of putting food on the plates of those in need. Please help us help Loudoun Hunger Relief in their steadfast mission to feed the hungry here in Loudoun County. Year after year the LoCo Disc Golf Club has shown up and made a BIG difference. Last year we raised almost $25,000 and donated more than any other disc golf club participating in the annual Ice Bowl. Can we do it again this year?
It’s finally official and it’s getting attention! LoudounNow has published articles announcing that the LoCo Disc Golf club is the world’s leader in Ice Bowl fundraising efforts having raised $24,355 for 2021 edging out the Mile High Club in Colorado that brought in 24,096. The Mile High Club represents the entire state of Colorado and has held onto the record for the past 8 straight years. Look out Colorado, there’s a new baller on the block!
LoCo – the World Champs!!
Now that has a nice ring to it! Wait till next year. We’ve have to bring it again.
We would be remiss if we didn’t thank everyone who contributed to the effort. There are too many to thank, but please know from the bottom of our heart(s) – Thank You! You made a difference to the community around you. For that we all should celebrate.
Check out the recent articles…simply, Amazing!

2021 LoCo Disc Golf Club Elections
As everyone should be well aware by now, the LoCo Disc Golf Club, in accordance with our operating documents and the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, hold an annual election for five (5) club officers who will form the LoCo Disc Golf Club Board of Directors for 2021. We are extremely excited that we have six (6) eligible candidates running for the 2021 LoCo Disc Golf Club Board of Directors (listed in alphabetical order by last name)
Normally, at the November and December Monthies, we would provide an (optional) opportunity for the candidates to (re)introduce themselves and provide public comments or statements. Due to COVID-19, health and safety concerns and the cancelation of the Monthies, that simply is/was not an option. In lieu of social gathering, we have provided the opportunity for the candidates to provide statements, or letters, in which we are here to provide to you today. We’d like to thank the candidates for taking the time to write the attached Candidate Statements and we truly hope that you take the time to read them.
Election Process
Like last year, we will be using Election Runner (electionrunner.com) as our online balloting system. It’s straight forward, it’s easy and accessible and most importantly, it’s secure.
On the morning of Saturday, December 12th, you will receive an email from “LoCo Disc Golf Club <noreply@electionrunner.com>“. This email will provide you with a customized (unique per member) link to access and initiate the online balloting system/process. You will be provided the opportunity to select, or vote, for up to 5 individuals. The election will run through Saturday, December 26th and results will be provided immediately thereafter. A courtesy email reminder will automatically be sent to members that have not completed the online balloting process.
Please don’t be shy and please let us know if you have any questions or issues! We thank you for your time and participation in this very important process and we thank you very much for being a member of the LoCo Disc Golf Club!!!!
Respectfully,
LoCo Disc Golf Club Board of Directors
