sorry - revised slightly 6/8


The Ventura Disc Golf Club had a stunning piece of land along Lake Casitas to
use for
their course - elevation, vegetation and super views of the lake. It was a
perfect venue for
this year's Fling.
First off we want to thank the Ventura Club for all their help to make this a
great
event. Mel, Tom, and Greg for getting us those short tees and designing a
shorter course
that would get us to lunch quickly. Greg for his added help with graphics. To
all the
spotters - Kimbra and Billy, Dennis etc. – thanks! Thanks to our sponsors,
Discovering
The World, Innova and Geotel. Chris Ginnaven for help organizing, Cliff Towne,
- the TD,
Beth Verish, Erin White, Pat Sweeney and Chris Horn for Disc Arcade assist etc.
and to Stu
Shulman for campfire Blues guitar. To Ranger Rob and the Casitas staff for all
their help.
Again – thanks!
Now for the news. Everybody was excited at the player's meeting to hear that
DISC's
proposal for a course in Elysian Park had been approved by the park advisory
group and
that DISC had once again been asked to staff LAUSD's Summer Disc Sports
program., and
a last minute flurry of entrants helped put the event into the black (over
$700!). We had
one ace,….and it was on hole #15 – the one that Geotel had $100 on! Our
farthest
traveled player – Steve Ritenour of MD – hit it on the 2nd round. Yee haw! - as
we say here
out west. Wally Moore and Chris Horn in Open were tied at the end of regulation
– in
standard Fling fashion we had them throw a closest-to safari shot from the
campground
to hole # 1 and Wally broke the tie, June 4th is John Babin's Birthday – it was
only fitting
that his son would win Juniors and that John would break through with his first
Fling
victory in the Advanced Masters division. Happy Birthday John! Congrats also to
David
Hadder who rode his first round of 45 to a victory in the Advanced Grandmasters.
The best
round on the short course went to Pro Masters winner Paul Mihalec with a 41 and
in the
longer layout to the Open winner Wally Moore with a 43. Mini Accuracy saw
another victory
for Pat Sweeney and Disc Shuffleboard went to Alan Fridge and Howard Tan won the
Telepathy Challenge with his mind meld with Advanced Women's winner Megan Stroh.
Winners received one of the special run of 25 Candy Starfires and more than a
third
of the field got DTW Gift Certificates (spend these or face the dreaded curse of
gacked
putts!). Prizes worth more than $325 were distributed to Disc Arcade winners
and as
recognition gifts to the Ventura Club. Big Fun was had at the Fling IX.
