“Started on #13 with the 2nd card of Advanced division sitting in a 3 way tie for 9th or so. Jumped up a spot to claim a 2 way tie for 8th with Zac after all is said and done. Still could have done a bit better than 59/60 I've scored in the last two rounds here.”

“3rd Round: Started on #14. My putter went into the creek while trying to jump-putt from about 60ft & missed the basket entirely to the right. Proceeded to miss my putt to save bogey. Also threw into the creek on #9 during my 2nd throw. Used my Star Mako and didn't think I'd throw that far with that disc, but it hit the dirt in front of the basket which didn't help either and ended up skipping into the creek. Also missed the putt attempt for bogey. Made up for that with a great 20ft birdie putt on #13 with my Pro Katana which was about even from the basket.”

“2nd Round: Started on #13 once again. A much better back 9, but threw 2 more than I did on the front 9. Scored 4 more bogeys than I would have liked & had a wonderful opportunity for birdie on #18 that came up a tad too low. It was kind of an awkward stance because my disc ended up in the shrubs, so I had to stretch and putt from one of my knee.”

“1st Round: Started on #13. My only bad hole was #15...after witnessing Ehren scoring an ace on that particular hole. But I had a bad 3rd throw & a lazy putt attempt from 10ft that hit the side of the basket, ultimately costing me an extra putt. My disc rolled away twice on my putt attempts as well, on #4 & #7.”

“1st Round: Gold Pins. Started on #10. Started with 2 pretty good throws, then on my approach/putt attempt, my putter rolled down the hill & ended up with a 6...sheesh. Missed the next 2 putts as well. Could have done at least 5-7 throws better & I'll definitely improve on that next time around! It was the first time I've ever played this course & loved the Gold layout despite the score.”

“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.”

“1st Round - Started on #3.”

“2nd Round - Started on #9.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”
