THANKS: To Marty for turning TOPO into a one-time-only par 3 bonanza. The combination of shortened course and leaner groupings (mostly 2 players) allowed us to squeeze one final weeknight round in before dark. A very fun change-of-pace.
Also thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to my tourney survey – I appreciate it!
CONGRATS: To division winners Tucker Davis, Mark Dawson, Greg Clark / Ryan Lemieux (tie) and Katie Jenkins (AGAIN!?). Mark and Tucker actually tied with the hot round of 48 – nice shooting.
POTW: To Mark Dawson for jumping up from AM1 to tie the hot round on the day. His ever-supportive friend Mike Frisina congratulated him with: “Yeah you WOULD be good at mini-golf!â€
HOLE STATISTICS: The tournament will give everybody one last chance at deucing hole 2 and claiming the TOPO tshirt bounty. After Monday I was curious how many people deuced the shortened hole layouts. Marty did a great job of making them reachable but challenging. Holes 3 and 7 yielded lots of birds but holes 4, 8, 16, 17 and 18 were stingy. Of 28 players, these were the only ones to card an impressive deuce:
4) Charlie Veysey
8) Matt Skoby and Chris Wolf
16) Connor Griffin
17) Ryan Lemieux
18) Tyler Colby
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Saturday is Tourney time. The format survey is now closed and most of you (13 of 18 votes) humored me and voiced support for the proposed format of 1) double-points singles followed by 2) high-low (draft) doubles with mens divisions mixed. Thanks again for all your feedback. Now all you need to know is: show up by 9am, bring a dish to share at the lunch break, and be prepared for an awesome day of disc golf. Entry fee is $10 (plus greens fees for non SP holders), ace is $2, CTP is $2.
In addition to the 2 rounds we’ll have a distance/accuracy contest in the hay field to give away some proshop schwag and probably a separate CTP contest to give out whats left of the ace pot (Currently $30, likely >$60 after the tourney). Folks who bought into the ace pot Saturday will get a free throw. Unlimited*** additional entries (from anyone) will be $1 each and will add to the pot.
See you Saturday!
Jim
***Almost unlimited: you can only throw whats in your bag once - no retrieving discs and re-throwing.
