2014 Sky High Showdown results

The 2 day tournament at Mt. High, Wrightwood, CA was played this past weekend, Aug 2-3. Tommy, Randy and Jim took a league week off at Freedom Park to play the 27 hole course that is laid out across the ski slopes.

Tommy played in the Advanced division with his player rating of 942. Day 1 ended with Tommy at even par, 83, and tied for 15th place. Day 2 had overtones of dark clouds with rain due-in. The round started and off we went only to get about half way through the round before lightening halted play and ultimately ended the tournament. After the scores were counted for round 2 Tommy was in the same position as when he started. Better luck next year Tommy.

Randy and Jim registered in the Recreational division and played fairly well for day 1 coming in at 87 (+4) and 86 (+3), respectively. Those scores put Jim tied for 6th place and Randy in 8th place. Not being able to complete our round 2 due to weather, Jim lost a couple positions and finished in 8th place. Randy also slide down the board by one position finishing tied for 9th place. We all had a great time and look forward to next year’s tournament.

During the awards presentation there is a huge raffle that consists of discs, swag and baskets. All of the HMDG players got to turn in a couple raffle tickets each bringing home some more disc golf goodies.
