It is time to gather up and see what went down as I bring us all up to date on just how great our league is. I'm talking about Thursday night dubs at Champoeg of course. It was a hot night of high flying action. There were awesome hyzer flips and near ace-run fairway skips. The players were playing, the trees were swaying, and a good time all around is just what I'm saying. We hit our average again of 76 frisbee fanatics, which is nothing short of awesome. Let's take a minute now and see how it all played out.
We had a special guest show up on Thursday night. None other than the pride of Champoeg himself, Cole Redalen high stepped his way in with his sights set on disc golf dominance. And he did not disappoint. Him and his partner Aaron Donaldson set a new record from Champoeg Dubs laying out every basket that got in their path. On a 20 hole layout they posted a -21!! Hot diggity-dog! But the scorecard did show that this team was still human. They did not birdie hole 18..........(show of hands for all those that did birdie hole 18 last night.....) however they covered that gap by getting 2 eagles on the night.......so I guess that kid is pretty good. Sitting in the second car of the podium lane (only 4 strokes behind.....only..) was Zach Kelly and yours truly, Buck 'Yeah!' Rich with a decent attempt of -17 (and yes, we did birdie hole 18....in your face Cole!!). We had 2 teams up next with a score of -15 but after the showcase throwdown it was the duo of Craig Beavers and Mack Ngo in the 3rd car.
The longest smash of the season contest, Sponsored by Top Flight Disc Golf, has been quite the.......Smash hit.......you could say. This last Thursday Kevin Rodriguez cracked into the top 3 distance makes with a long toss of 148ft on hole 17. The top 3 marks at the Finale with get cash. Right now that looks like this -
1st place – Emiliano Joaquim-Nathaniel Haynes-Caldera – 165ft - $50
2nd place – Kevin Rodriguez – 148ft - $25
3rd place – Dan Martinez – 144ft - $10
Plenty of time left to take the green light and make a big impact. Best take flight and make it happen. Thank you Top Flight!!
