I want to start by saying that despite my lap top being stolen, my team was able to get the official TD Report turned in before the PDGA dead line that was today. This way all you point and ratings watchers will hopefully be helped by this event. If there are any errors simply message me and I will call the PDGA and get them straightened up.

This year’s Presidential Cup III changed venues. For all of those that are curious of how it came about, this was a trial for a possible pay to play course. The owners are hesitant because they didn’t realize the popularity. I told Scott we could design a course and have a tourney and see how it went. I told him he could ask players if they would pay to play if it were permanent. Needless to say you guys rocked by not only coming out but making a great impression on Scott and his dad. They definitely like the idea and are more on the side of getting it done, but as I told several of you, the biggest delay is that he will have to put a $50,000 net up to protect disc golfers.

I know the course was short and there were some tough lines, but we didn’t want to cut to much until Spring so we could see what it looks like. Also, when it goes in permanently there will be grass in the mud pit area and a mando on hole four forcing the shot up the middle and the Widow Maker limbs will be removed.

As everyone kind of figured the weather was a factor and reeked havoc on the course and players. Rain made the gripping the plastic tough, but the mud was an even bigger issue. Slippery slopes and weighted down shoes made for what seemed like longer rounds than they actually were. The second round saw less rain but more wind.

There were 10 divisions including a 50+ and a 8 and under. It’s exciting to see the wide range of players that continue to battle it out on the course. This sport just has something draws you to become better and want get together with your friends making memories/bragging rights. It seemed like.

Winners included Mary Abbott over Eziel Saret by 5 (130) Wn Int
Candie Luster Wn Rec (142) having one round rated nearly 100 better than her rating
Isaiah Moore <8 (98 one round)
Forrest Barnard over Matt Baker by 4 (107) Rec
Rick Waggoner with a (106) over Zach Carrier by 4 in Int
There was a battle in the 50+ division. Robert Covert one the tie break over Ray Preznell. (114)
In the Advanced was another great battle between the winner by one Adam Barton and the always tough John McCain. Adam held John off by 1 shooting a (99)
The Open division was similar to the advanced finish. Jeff Renner took it with a (95) only one better than David Christie.
