++ Little Miss Ledgestone returns to NZ
++ Sunday Coaching @ 2pm Queenspark is ON
++ Shout out to another Kiwi on a Roll

--> Gidday, PDGA Worlds Lovers! Sarah appears to have grown in stature since departing our shores, and returning with her heavy FA1 DGPT trophy, she is giving her guns a real workout. :)

Myself, Paul, and Sarah will be back on deck for our regular coaching session on Sunday, if anyone wants a signature from the world's youngest DGPT competitor, and NZ's only DGPT winner.

--> And while we’re celebrating Kiwis making their mark internationally, a huge shout-out must also go to the south's Alison Tweedie, who currently sits an outstanding 8th in the PDGA’s 2026 FPO Rookie of the Year standings. With seven wins from ten events so far this season — including the FPO title at the NZ Nationals — that’s another seriously impressive Kiwi achievement. Allison isn't sponsored by Vortica, but we have hope.

Kia tika te rere - Enjoy the flight

++ Levi Stout: Kiwi On A Roll! 🇳🇿🥏

--> Gidday, TPU lovers! We don't normally cover players who aren't sponsored by Vortica, but after an outstanding performance at the Disc Golf World Championships, we couldn't let this one pass without giving a huge shout-out to hard-working Kiwi professional disc golfer Levi Stout.

Because tied 20th at Worlds is one hell of an achievement!

Levi finished T20 alongside Joona Heinänen, Niklas Anttila and Teemu Lampainen, in a field stacked with many of the best disc golfers on the planet.

And he didn't just sneak into the top 20.

Playing off an already impressive 1020 PDGA rating, Levi shot above his rating in every single round of Worlds — 1042, 1024, a massive 1052 in round three, 1025, and then closed the tournament with another superb 1048-rated final round.

That 1052 third round is particularly worth dwelling on. That's world-class disc golf, on the biggest stage in the sport.

By the end of the tournament Levi had finished ahead of the likes of Chris Dickerson, Casey White, Raven Newsom, Andrew Presnell, Kevin Jones, Ezra Aderhold, early leader Evan Smith, Simon Lizotte, Matty O, Corey Ellis, Paul Ulibarri, Gavin Babcock, James Conrad — and around 110 other seriously good disc golfers.

For a Kiwi travelling halfway around the world to compete against that calibre of field, T20 at Worlds is a massive result.

And it's part of what has already been a pretty remarkable year.

Earlier this season Levi took a leap of faith in himself and his abilities, heading off to Europe and the USA to chase his disc golfing dreams. He won the Reykjavík Open in Iceland in July and has continued putting in the performances required to maintain that 1020 rating.

And then there's this:

Levi currently leads the DGPT Rookie of the Year standings.

Yep — a Kiwi sitting at the top of the DGPT rookie standings, ahead of Rainers Balodis and the rest of the field.

That's pretty bloody cool.

Our hat is off to you, Levi.

An outstanding season so far, and something for the whole New Zealand disc golf community to be proud of.

We wish you the very best for the rest of the season — and whatever comes next.

Kia tika te rere — Enjoy the flight.

++ Sunday Coaching @ Queenspark 2pm is ON

--> Gidday, eager anticipators of spring time! The days are lengthening, and after-work disc golf is rapidly approaching. So, it's time to clean out your bag, and get ready for the coming season. That means doing some putting after work, and of course that means a portable RPM Discmate Lite basket, which are just $280 inc GST and freight.

At coaching today I'll talk about throwing the disc high in the air, and how to control what it does when it's up there. Or whatever else you would like to work on - your choice. Kids are free, and always will be, while it's just $10 for adults. See you just past basket one, at 2pm.
