Eight players came out to play on this great evening for Frisbee Golf.
Robby brought it on with a game that left everyone chasing from the start. For the record, he finished at -15 only 3 strokes off his course best. BOB gave him a run and finished two strokes behind at -13 which tied his best ever for the course, as set in 2010. I don’t know about the rest of you, but BOB (who only made 5 rounds last season) should be considered a serious threat coming out of the chute with this kind of performance after such a long hiatus.
Last season’s League and Surgeon’s Cup holder, MaT, was in the game but fell a stroke behind BOB to finish in third, while Wayne (keeping with his moniker of Mr. Mediocrity) played in the middle of the pack hitting his all time average of -9 (this after a scoring correction when he errantly scored hole 10 as if it were a par 3). “I am just glad no one pushed us to sign the scorecard this night,†he was heard to mumble.
Where in the world was Sammy Jackson? “Up and to the left, up and to the left!†Oh wait, that was in a movie or something. But, Sammy seemed to be going too much to one side during most of his round. It never seemed to correct itself and his game, at -6, was quite off from his typical performance.
Travis was there.
We also want to welcome a new player to the group. Justin Holzer came out for his first round of Frisbee Golf – NFGA style. Adapting his disc golf style to the game of Frisbee golf presented a few challenges that (if you were watching) were being seriously and successfully worked on as the round progressed. And then he learned not to take the hapless par 6 on hole 17 so lightly! Look for Justin to be a player who both challenges and contributes to the spirit of the NFGA.
And talk about a hiatus; anyone who was out for this round was “graced†by the presence of the Schneidmeister who came out firing but fizzled a bit and fell off his game after taking a few cell phone calls during early play. We hope to see both BOB and Schneidmeister more this season.
Obviously missing from Wednesday’s round was the display of any sponsorship or endorsement media. This leads us to wonder if some of the players may be negotiating new endorsements for the new season. I guess we will find out as the season progresses as most sponsors, in this economy, probably want to see some consistent performance before they put their names out on a player.
This week’s anonymous sound bite was: “It should be a three.â€
Our next round will be played Wednesday, March 21 at 6:00.
