Gonzo this weekend

This weekend, Matt talked me into going to Gonzales and competing in a tournament.  It's part of HOTT, the Heart of Texas Tours.  Day 1 was recreational men and advanced.  That skipped the Intermediate division who played on Sunday but this worked out for us.



Jason tied for first in Advanced, the highest amateur division after two rounds. After the play-off, he came out 3rd and that's really good for his first sanctioned tournament. Jason already has 3 aces this year but none of them in tournament play.



Matt got second place in recreation. He'll get a trophy after it is engraved. He also got $50 in a CTP throw-off after nobody hit the ace pot.



I recorded some of Jay Reading's pro tips for our Earlybird's podcast newsletter. It sounded like a wind tunnel but the tips were good.  Jay won the Open (pro) division on Sunday.

I tied for 4th place recreational divsion. There were 17 in our division and that was the first time I played on that course so I was happy just to place. Matt tried to take a picture of me but he missed the button somehow.

It was nice having Matt pick me up at 6:00 and drive to the tournament.  It's a long way to Gonzales.  The course is nice but I wouldn't go there just to play it.  It is a nice place for a tournament though.




In the recreation division, everyone gets a players pack.  We got to choose $20 worth of items in the pro shop.  I chose a Buzz from discraft in Z plastic.  It had the stamp of the actual event on it.  I also grabbed a tie-dyed towel.
