Another great night for a game; and this night, the group embarked upon a new format heretofore to be known as BestB.
Six players were randomly divided into two teams who squared off in a match play format reminiscent of last weekend’s ball golf Ryder Cup.
Unlike ball golf, the NFGA plays mob golf, whereby everyone plays in a single group. While questionable from an efficiency perspective, this format has allowed the group to play unencumbered; as most neighbors are somewhat reluctant to challenge a mob of men for any reason, what so ever. Accordingly this night, the BestB version of Frisbee Golf entailed two teams of three, all playing together in a single group.
With six players, the League Scoring adjustment for the BestB format, offered each member of the winning team 6 points and each member of the non-winning team 3 points. Each player played an individual round while the lowest player’s score was recorded as the score for that respective player’s team.
While the team of Sammy, Brad and Wayne had the advantage on twelve holes and played all squared on 4, the team of MaT, Robby and Dean turned the round on holes 16 and 17 to win by a one-up margin. At the end of the day Sammy, Brad and Wayne won three holes while MaT, Robby and Dean won 4.
The group seemed to enjoy the BestB match play format and it was agreed that other match play type rounds should be considered for future rounds.
A single Postal Service medallion was awarded to Brad for a hit on Hole 5.
Additionally, a motion was tabled that, due to the earlier and earlier onset of darkness, the Surgeon’s Cup may need to be moved to an earlier date. However, since there are only three more scheduled rounds, including the Cup rounds, it does not seem beneficial to change the season schedule at this late date. We have played into darkness before and, if we can try our best to tee off on time, we should be able to get the season done with a minimum loss of Frisbees.
Once again we wish to thank Al Gore for global warming and the earlier and earlier onset of darkness.
This round’s anonymous sound bite was, “Hold on, I still need twenty cents.â€
