So we had six of us go play a round of Disc Golf last Saturday at Pier Park in north Portland. We decided to split into two teams at the groom’s request. Ethan decided Mike should wear the bowling ball and chain for all 18 holes and I must say what a champ and good sport he was. He managed to play a good game wearing that thing and hit the shot of the day on top of it all.
First I would like to say what an amazing park this was. It was very pretty, but the calling card is how well kept it is. The course is long like Sea-Tac, but there are no brambles or underbrush at all. There are trees everywhere that gave a nice canopy from the rain and multiple elevation changes too. The trees are all trimmed up to at least 40-50 feet high so branches are not blocking shot lines. All said I would love to get down there and play this course again.
I would also like to say that as a group we played this course pretty well considering we had never seen it before. Mike purchased a Star Destroyer as we entered the park and it proved to be a huge investment. The game was all tied up with 5 holes to go before our team started to slip with a run of bogeys. We got to hole 17 sitting 2 shots behind the groom’s team. I managed what was easily my best drive of the day to get us within putting range for a possible birdie. We were assuming a par for the opposition, but then Mike crushed all hopes of coming back. He stepped up from 150′ away and tossed his new disc straight and hard. It started it’s fade at the perfect spot and skipped off a hill, banked hard right as it traveled up and dropped into the basket for a birdie.
Awesome round! Take a look at the scores.
So does this round count towards rankings? Some of us weren’t allowed to play this game since we have boobies.
Breasts where not what kept you out of this game. Me, Vince and Ethan all played.
But to answer your question, yes it does. Anytime 3 or more Regulars play in a game it counts, and we had 5 of us.
