Default Re: Birdshot tournament august 9

I had a few hours to burn yesterday afternoon while I was waiting for my son to come in on a flight, so I thought I'd run over to Academy buy a disc and go out here a get a round in. My first time at this course and holy crap! I've never seen so many dang Banana tree spiders in my life. It was like being in a horror movie! I don't see how anyone can throw a fifty anything on this course! You gotta walk around with a big long stick everywhere you go, totaly puts you on tilt from the start. Maybe it was just being out there by myself or something, but it was un-nerving

I think whoever threw the most shots at that tournament should have been declared the winner, just because they probably spent the most time off the fairways in spider heaven!

Do those things die off in the winter?

I totally just walked right on past #17 already being freaked out by the size and shear numbers of those spiders, I had no interest in walking into yellow jackets as well.

I felt like a little 6year old girl out there tiptoeing around with my big stick all freaked out.

Kudos to all the players who were able to throw a decent game out there...I know I sure couldn't yesterday.

I temporarily lost my disc on #6 (it faded hard right and buried itself under a bunch of pine needles) and I spent at least 35 minutes walking through that area of spider infested dead trees looking for my disc (I only brought 1 so I couldn't just leave it) that totally threw me off for the rest of the round
