Well it had been a few months since we had made our way down to White River in Auburn for a round of Disc Golf.  They currently have the course in its summer configuration.  Holes 4-6 have been moved into the woods and the order is very different now.  Thank goodness we had Dean & Linda to tour guide us through the changes because it would have been easy to get lost.  We also were able to play Hole 16 for the first time in a while now that the river has gone down a bit.  All in all it was a great day to be out and about.

We had a strong showing on Sunday of 11 people.  Jason M brought his friend Mark out for the first time and I hope he makes a regular showing.  He is a very skilled player and we love competition here at Roundbrand, so the more the merrier.  We broke up into 5 teams and went out and just kicked that courses butt.  The lowest score of the five teams would have been good enough to win just a few months ago.  Kudos to everyone for how much improvement we are seeing.

Shot of the day?  There were many that I got to witness.  Richard made a couple of nice putts for us to get us birdies.  Cathy had a fantastic birdie putt on 10 as did Jonathan on 15.  I made a drive on 9 that snaked through the trees and dropped right at the basket for an easy birdie.  Richard equaled that on Hole 15.  Add on a couple of long turbo putts for birdie by me and we saw a ton of great shots today.

This one came down to the bitter end.  After 15 holes Richard and I were sitting at 3 under par while Jonathan and Cathy were at 1 under and Jason M and Mark were even.  Jason M & Mark went 1 over on the last three to finish with the same score for the round.  Jonathan and Cathy parred out to finish at 1 under.  Richard and I flat choked missing putts on all 3 holes and getting two bogeys along the way.  That left us with two teams finishing the day at 1 under par.  By far the best showing we have ever had and it forced a playoff.

Back to Hole 1 we went.  Richard and I had the more favorable tee shot but did not convert the birdie so we had to go to a second hole.  Jonathan and Cathy played smartly and got a par to win the day while Richard and I completed our free fall from dominance with a bogey to end it.  It was an amazing showing by all and even if we did lose, I must admit I am excited about finally getting under par for the first time.

Enjoy the Scores!
