2021 Goal!
We played yesterday and it was the beginning of February so today it occurs to me that I should set a disc golf goal for 2021. I intend to play at least one round in every month of the year. I intend to play at least 2 rounds on 21 different courses this year. Well, so far, I have 2 of 12 months and 1 of 21 different courses.

A beautiful February day with the temperature easily over 10 C. Jay, John and myself were out there again playing for the second day in a row. The round was from the Reds again as there was a bit of a breeze but … IT IS FEBRUARY!! After playing strong for 2 months and posting personal bests I have crashed back to earth. Two days in a row the games and scores have been dismal … comparatively speaking. Yesterday I could not seem to focus on the basket so my putting suffered. Today, while the putting was marginally better, I could not seem to approach the basket and was relying on very long putts. I […]
Rough Round from the Reds
The last day of January and it is a pleasant 9 degrees centigrade … on January 31st, 2021! Of course we are going to play a round of disc golf. My opening hole started with a forehand flick around a tree to sink an Eagle putt. I am in for a great game! Well, by hole 3 I knew that was not a true statement. My drives were solid to awesome, my approaches were at best medium, and aside from 3 holes my putting was very disappointing. Wind was not really a factor but my focus certainly was. For instance, on hole 16 I had the best drive ever, and missed a 3.5 meter Eagle […]
Whoops, Almost a tie …
Friday afternoon in the middle of January and playing yet another round in 2021. Fantastic! Solid round from the Reds and added my Discraft Hades. Jay and I were tied at -7 on hole 16. I fluff and Eagle opportunity and Jay did not. Things change again on hole 17 with Jay hitting a tree and taking a rare Bogey and I did a routine par. Tied back up at -8 going into the final hole. The rule is you must win the game to take Kitty so a tie leaves the lovely trophy in my hands. In a moment of not really thinking I take out the brand new Hades. I fumble the throw […]
Horizon Discs
Bridge City Gunners AGM meeting (virtual due to COVID) was today and of course I read the report. One gem I found in the report was a reference to a new tournament Sponsor. Horizon Discs. I decide to check them out and as it turns out they are local to Lethbridge and being the good Samaritan that I am (ha!) I purchased a brand new disc. A Blue 167-169 gram Paul McBeth Hades. After the order was complete TJ Quinton from Horizon Disc contacted me to make arrangements for delivery. I had chosen “pick up” as the option but it turns out his brother Spencer would be able to deliver it to Nicholas Sheran Park […]
