May 4, 2011 - Doubles Round

Three teams started the round at 6:08 PM with a slight breeze and cool temperatures prevailing over the course. Early in the round, on hole 4, team 2 suffered the loss of a disc when Frito's new disc (its third round) was unintentionally crushed and broken by a homeowner pulling into his driveway. Fortunately, Frito's old disc was still at the club house and, after a few shaky throws, he was able to get it under control for the remainder of the round.

All three teams were knotted up at seven under as the group approached hole ten when suddenly, a bowelogical emergency claimed one of the players on team 1. As his partner fought through the next couple of holes, the team finally conceded after completing hole 13 when scheduling conflicts took the second team member out of the round.

It was still knotted up when teams 2 and 3 headed into the "Travis Trail" (as holes 15 through 17 have come to be known). On 16, Frito and Russell took a stroke on team 3 when Frito, following a long drive by Russell, parked their second shot and made the subsequent putt for a birdie. Jackson and Stone settled for par giving team 2 a one stroke lead which they held through the remaining holes.
