The Tournament with the Rat

Somebody brought their capybara, a South American rodent, to Pease park. It was an interesting site during The Spontaneous Open at Pease on Sunday.

I thought this would be a good practice tournament for me. Turns out that if John Hathorn hadn't shown up, I'd probably have had to play intermediate. As it was, with him (a novice), and Kristi Gold (a woman) lumped together, we had enough to field a recreation division. That meant I won some plastic. I was leading by 13 after the first round. The good news is that I beat a couple of intermediates too so that was nice but they were having bad rounds.  There were only 11 players in this tournament and I played worse than my rating so that's not good.  Still, the $45 in plastic was cool.  I picked up a Star Max for the wind, a Star Cro as a mid-range, and a Millenium Polaris LF disc.



I liked how the first round was mixed cards so I got to see how some of the better players play the holes. 2 was a killer for me with the water OB to the right and the path OB to the left.
