Birdshot Mini/OB Obsession at First Colony

[bmugwump]

Hi gang! Our April mini will be Saturday the 3rd at First Colony...we will once again be offering a special prize to anybody who can go the whole round with no OB's! See www.houstonbirdshot.com for details!

I've started a list of players who are pre-registering for this mini on the Birdshot website if anyone is interested in seeing who will be showing up.

I will be signing up tomorrow. Intermediate

Just wanted to make sure you guys know that the minis rarely fill...in fact, I can think of only one time (Miramar last year...52 players!!!) that has happened. So pre-registration definitely isn't required, but it's cool seeing people using the PayPal feature Birdshot now has on our website.

I cant fool with the pre-registration, but look forward to seeing you Saturday. Will be the first official round in a long time.

Remember, gang....Chuck's got a special prize for any player who can go the whole round with no OB! If there's more than one of you, the best score will be the winner. We will also have a special Easter CTE (closest to the egg!) that should be a lot of fun, so come join us tomorrow morning...sign-ups start at 8:00!

That sounds Egg-citing! Folks better hop to it and come out and join us.

We had about 23 people show up this morning for the OB Obsession at First Colony. Neal Dambra was the only player to have no OBs on his round and won a $32 gift certificate to Disc Golf Consultants. Neal also shot -15 on the 20 holes we played today.

After the mini we had a special Easter themed CTE with three eggs filled with either $13, $7 or $1 from the Ace pot. We picked which egg to throw at, tried to dodge the volleyball net and land our disc near the right egg. Good fun. Photos, videos and details will be up on the Birdshot website tomorrow.

20 holes at total length of 5,265'. SSA = ~54.6

Neal birdied 16 of the 20 holes. He 3'ed regular #4, alt #1, alt #6... and 4'ed alt #5.



The WCP spreadsheet I use for ratings usually comes out a bit on the high side of what the final/official PDGA ratings end up, but I think it's safe to say that Neal threw at least a 1070 round.

Hi ERic,

Thank you for the round rating info. That is always nice to know, especially when I have a good round. Surely that was Neal's best round rating ever at First Colony. I don't know what his best round rating at the SWHM at First Colony is, but surely not that good. He seems to cash every event he plays in. Maybe the SWHM slows him down a little though. Geez, 16 birdies. Plays it like Cedar Brook elementary.
