2013 Discraft Ace Race

The 2013 Discraft Ace Race is starting up across the U.S. Our own Ace Race this year is scheduled for September 14, 2013 with tee-off at 10 a.m.

The location for this year's event is scheduled for Credit Island, where it was held last year, but, due to flooding on the Mississippi River, we may have to move the event to another Quad City location. The process for a possible move is being explored with Middle Park in Bettendorf, Iowa being a prime location.

I did drive by Credit Island on Saturday, July 27, and found the park is now open to the public. The lodge, which was heavily damaged by fire, has been surround by a temporary cyclone fence until a final determination of repairs / replacement is decided upon.

The disc golf course is being worked on. Most tees have been cleared of overgrowth from the flood. The island smells strongly of the river from the silt left behind. Baskets appear to have been removed prior to the flood and, my guess is, won't be replaced until they have the overgrowth cleared to the Park Board's satisfaction. Not sure how long any of this will take but I expect they'll have the course ready by fall at the latest.
