NFGA Round Summary March 13, 2012

It was the first round of the season and just how windy was it? Let’s just say the round was won at six under (-6) and no one, and I mean no one, reached 18 from the tee! Maybe you have to have played this course to know what that means!

And it was cold and no one really warmed up and . . . and . . . and!

And yes, Travis was in the lead as the group of six headed down the Trail, named in his honor. And no, I don’t think he took any calls once he was in the lead.

Clearly, some people have practiced throwing the Ultimate plastic over the off season; and clearly, this season is going to play out a bit different than past seasons.

Of course, we still have our current Surgeons’ Cup holder - on his game with a new disc that brings some new color to the league. Once he got it working, it was charming to watch. Congratulations to Sammy, followed by Travis and Brad in second and third place.

It was still overall, a pretty tight grouping with two boys, Wayne and BOB, falling far out of style in mustering only pars for the round. Yes, that is correct; par 72s, the highest recorded rounds ever for either boy!

So, Sammy keeps on keeping on, Travis has stepped up - and if he can stay off the phone early - may challenge the league. Then you have Brad who walks past his throw 3 times out of 10 but recorded a very nice third place this round. And where can the two boys go but up from where they finished.

It should be interesting to see how it all plays out. Maybe next round will not be played in a wind tunnel and the true games - that we will see 90% of the time - will be revealed.

This rounds anonymous sound bite (as picked up on the tee to six) was, “This is SingleT’s kind of weather. He would be two or three under by now.”

We miss you SingleT. In all of our hearts, you won the round!
