“1st round: Started on #2 with eventual winners on my card! (Except John Murphy lost on the 1st playoff basket in the Open div.) Brendan won the Advanced division. It was a pretty bad round for me overall where I had a 5, 6 & 4 to start. Missing most of my putts didn't help the score either. Had a great throw on #15 & you'd think I'd usually birdie being close to the basket....but I ended up releasing my putter badly, missing the basket, then rushed my putt only to miss again. 2 turned into a 4...ugh.”

“2nd Round: Started on #7. Just when I thought I can make a move after having such a great start with a 3 (near-miss birdie,) 4 (great upshot that came up a bit short & hit the basket on putt for par,) then a birdie & bogey. Was doing so well on the front 9, then came #16 where I had a terrific throw off the tee. On my 2nd throw, my disc went wider than I wanted & never turned back onto the fairway for an OB, then overthrew the basket & 2-putted to card in a circle 7. It went downhill from there for the most part after that.”

“2nd Round - Started on #5. Slightly better than the first round, but a 6 on #7 was pretty costly.”

“1st Round - Started on #3”

“1st Round - Started on #5. Had a bad roll-away on my putt-attempt on #17, which ultimately turned my birdie opportunity into a 5!”

“Started on #5 once again. Had a slow start where a few of my upshots ended up too short or went too far. My missed putts here and there didn't help either. My forehand roller went into the parking lot on #1. My upshot attempt hit the branches & came straight down onto the road on #4.”

“My disc was declared lost on #3 after my upshot throw & I had to re-throw from the previous spot. Which was later found just 25ft. from the basket!! That's a reminder for me to have a spotter down the fairway & it's an absolute must! That one basket alone cost me a potential 2nd place finish easily...what a killer. But I still finished in the cash tied for 3rd with Mr. Ginter despite all that.”

“1st Round - Started on #12 & my forehand roller right off the tee hit one of these trees, sending it in the other direction...right into the picnic shelter! Ended up with a circle 5 on that, but recovered nicely on the next 3 for 3/3/2. On #16, my disc went OB off the tee & was just less than a foot short from safe landing.”
