Thanks to everyone who came out for week 3! It was tight, but we got 9 playable teepads, and we started wearing in some paths. Thank you to the groups starting on holes 5 and 7 for working on the first two pads you played. I'm optimistic we can get all 18 of the pads cleared by week 5!
Conditions were still pretty rough - despite only playing a couple of the tougher holes (2 and 5 blues, IMO), everyone carded at least two bogeys. Beckner took down A Pool by mixing in 7 birdies, including being the only one to get hole 3. I snuck into second place thanks to a clutch Dan Allen find of my disc - otherwise I was going to suffer the ignominy of being the only one to bogey hole 8. Dan, Jarod, John DelReal, and Seth all tied one stroke back for third. The last few weeks we've been seeing massive A Pools, and not as many folks in B Pool. Good indication for the quality of disc golf in Alaska, but we might start thinking about changing the ratings cutoff so things are more balanced.
Alex Strawn managed to take down B pool with a 924-rated 55, and Jeremy Lukas grabbed C pool.
I'll have payouts done in the next couple of days, and we'll see you at Westchester for week 4!
