Duluth, GA USA (AP) – Another beautiful afternoon for Frisbee Golf and a bit of a surprise on the course as our league points race tightened up a bit.
Robby, our current league points leader, was admittedly well off his game this round while Sammy came blaring out of hibernation to score a season record setting -18 (only one stroke short of the course all time singles record, also held by him).
MaT, who started off his round with a drive that earned him the first “sewer rat†penalty of the season, just would not be able to overtake the Reaper as the round played out and Sammy demonstrated that he is very much “awake" by capping off the round with his first ACE of the season on eighteen.
The race for third took a nasty turn on nine as Wayne threw a perfect drive only to have it glance off of Robby’s drive and careen into the storm sewer for our second “sewer rat†medallion of the season.
As it would play out, Brad and Wayne would tie up third place on the Travis Trail and take three playoff holes before Wayne was able to edge Brad out of the tie.
In addition to Sammy’s season course record, there were a few other accomplishments achieved this afternoon which are worthy of note.
Brad, tied his best course round ever (-12), Wayne hit a season high (-12) and Dean, playing only his second singles round on the course, scored his best round at +3 which is 5 strokes better than his initial singles outing on August 29.
Since we had six players this night, we were not in a double point format which protected our leader during his most vulnerable of rounds. Tonight’s participation bumped up the APAR from 8 to 9 rounds which (in addition to tonight’s play) has tightened up the race a bit.
MaT is now only a half point behind Robby and Sammy has pulled to within two and a half points of the lead.
As mentioned earlier, we had two medallion awards (MaT and Wayne) this afternoon, both for the Sewer Rat Patrol. As such, it is appropriate at this point to express our gratitude to Brad for retrieving MaT’s throw from the storm sewer on hole one and, more importantly, for allowing Wayne to retrieve his own throw on hole nine, thereby alleviating any question as to that thrower’s manliness.
This round’s anonymous sound bite was, “Asteriskly!â€
as-ter-isk-ly (adnoun) - in linguistics, an “asterisk†(base form of asteriskly) is used to mark a sound, form, or structure that is believed to have existed but is unrecorded, or that is wrong or ungrammatical. Asteriskly describes the reluctant acceptance of a majority rule that may or may not have been officially confirmed by the published regulations and/or governing body of the sanctioning organization.
