About a year ago some good friends introduced us to the sport of disc golf, and we've been addicted ever since. We have a pretty nice course about 10 minutes from our house, so we run down and play a lot. The terminology is very similar to golf, but instead of hitting a ball towards the hole, you throw a disc at a basket.
A couple of weekends ago I entered my first tournament - the Disc Chic Challenge. With all the participants being girls, it was a bit less intimidating, and I entered in the intermediate division. Pat tagged along to caddy for me, and we had a really nice time and met some great people.
The first round was played off of blue tees, which are the closest ones at the course. I did really well that round and ended with a -3 tied for first place. The second round was played off the yellow tees which are a bit further back. I did not do well with my putting that round and ended with a +12. So, overall I had a +9 score, and ended up tied for 8th place. I did however win a CTP (closest to pin) and got a prize for that. You can check out the full results at
