Folks,

This is a more complete version of the wrap-up email that I sent out the day
after the
event.

FLING X

Thanks a bunch for helping to make the Fling X such a fun event. It was great
to see all
the Juniors out there from Burbank and to meet the Wylot children. The results
are up at:

Who won? Well.... Phil Brathwaite in Open shot the best score at -18, but you
could argue
that Senior Grand Phil Ganshert's score (2nd best of all players) of -12 was the
most
impressive performance. Of course, "Most Fun Wins", which makes Brittany Breed
our
champ (she scored in Mini Accuracy and also nabbed the precious plastic in her
division).
The Wylots won - kids in the pool at the Ramada across the way - disc golf in
the park and
Randy takes home one of the 25 Chavez Ridge SLs. Cliff and Dave think they won
- taking
home jeans to replace those destroyed in work at the Ridge AND plastic in their
divisions.
Joe Graham loved the Zoo and came back for plastic in Masters at the Fling X.
Kathyren
Downing got her disc over Erin White in a playoff. Steve Hines was atop the
Advanced
division and Geoff Larson really scored with his victory in Telepathic Putting
and the 3rd
best score (-11) for a win in Intermediate. Disc Arcade and closest to results

Mini Accuracy:
1st - Pat Sweeney
2nd - Jon Freedman

Thanks to Discovering The World for their help and to Innova for allowing us to
buy plastic
in their Candy Fund Raising Program. Thanks to the LA Department of Parks and
Recreation for their sponsorship. Thanks to So Cal for loaning us the
scoreports and for
providing the Closest To prizes and to Robert Valenzuela for his traffic cop
efforts on a
crowded (and HOT) day at the park. And special thanks to Howard Tan, Stork, and
the
Jamison and Stroh Families for becoming new Chavez Ridge Hole Sponsors (and of
course
to our other hole sponsors - full list at discsports.org).
