What a beautiful weekend of disc golf we had. On Saturday, Russell
and I ventured to Codorus for the Autumn Open. We both finished int eh
plastic in our respective divisions, although neither were satisfied
with our play. Lot of putts left out there. But, for our efforts we
both received prizes, and better yet, got to enjoy a gorgeous day
looking out over Lake Marburg. If you missed it, you missed out. You
should plan on going to the North Vs. South event at Codorus, on
November 1st. All 54 holes, all from the AM tees.
Sunday tags had a small turnout, despite the amazing weather. Greg
and Shawn had just returned from the 3 day geekathon and were ready for
some fresh air. Ian moved the baskets to A pins early this week, and
could smell blood in the water. It was a horse race all the way. Only 3
strokes separated us at the turn, and it would remain tight until the
very end. After it was all said and done, everybody left with the one
they brought.
Highlights:
Brad birdies 6
Greg birdies 9
Greg birdies 13
Brad birdies 18

On Monday there was a small contingent of non workers that battled it
out for tag supremacy. Some may say that it was a runaway victory; but
the real battle was for second place. At the turn, 2 strokes from
second to third, and 2 from third to fourth. There was history in the
making, but it was not to be. Poor shot making led to a disappointing
finish.
Highlights:
Brad birdies 6
Brad and Russ birdie 6
Shooby gets the lone par on 8
Brad birdies 11,12 and 13
Dave birdies 13

I was 2 under par through 16 holes, and just let it go on 17. Worse
than that, I missed easy putts on 7 and 8 that would have been for par.
It is definitely out there...
Finals:
Brad Lescalleet 1 55 1
Russ Johnston 5 63 5
Craig Shooby 6 68 6
Dave Briscoe 11 69 11
