Round One Recap for The Chilled Chainsmen

26 JAN 2025

Round one of the 10-week disc golf tournament is officially in the books, and what a start it’s been! With gusty winds making the course a bit more challenging than usual, players had to bring their A-game to survive the elements. The competition is heating up, and players are already showing some serious skill on the course. Whether you’re in the lead or just a few strokes behind, the energy is high, and everyone’s hungry for that top spot. Let’s dive into how things played out during this first round.

Round One Highlights:

Top Performers:
A TIER- Riley absolutely crushed it with a -7. His precision off the tee and solid putting helped him stay ahead, even in the wind. Not far behind, we saw Dave making their move, finishing with a -6 after some clutch shots on the back nine.

B TIER- Wayne came out swinging in the first round of the season shooting -3 while talking to himself like an old Aaron Gossage. Battling for second was Jeremy and Selven both with -2. They shot well but couldn’t pull away with a solo victory.

C TIER- Adam crushed his competition shooting +6 while not truly playing his best Disc Golf. He has decided to move up to B Tier next week to take money from the bigger boys. Jax shot a respectable round while flexing his FD3 like he was Eagle McMahon himself!

Windy Conditions:
The wind was definitely a factor today, and it added an extra layer of difficulty for players across all divisions. On certain holes, you could see players adjusting their strategies—some opting for more controlled, less aggressive shots to deal with the unpredictable gusts. Others risked it all with bold moves, hoping to land that perfect shot despite the swirling winds. Either way, the wind was clearly a game-changer.

Division Breakdown:
With three divisions—Tier A, B, and C—there was a good spread of talent across the field. In Tier A and C, we had 4 players competing this week, while 8 players battled it out in Tier B. It was great to see such a mix of skills on display, with each division offering its own exciting moments.

Troubles:

Holes 2, 4, 7, and 16 were not birded today.


The Field: With 3 divisions, things are still wide open. There are only 1 stroke separating the top contenders, but with so many rounds left, anything can happen. Whether you’re at the top or the bottom of your division, there’s plenty of time for things to shift.

Looking Ahead: As we head into round two, the pressure’s on, and the weather forecast is calling for more wind—if not even stronger gusts. Players will need to adapt to stay in the hunt for the top spots. Can Riley and Wayne hold onto their lead? Or will someone from the middle of the pack make a surprise jump? One thing’s for sure: we’re in for an action-packed tournament.
