The shot heard 'round the ranch

[ERicJ]

Ladies & gentlemen, a moment of silence if you please while I officially retire the "Toy" from C.J. "Toy Cannon" Hopper.

This past weekend at the PDGA Am World Doubles tournament at Circle R Ranch in Wimberly C.J. was high atop the Hill course on #18's teebox. With his partner's shot already safely down the fairway the typical amount, he judged the wind and with youthful bravado let fly his X-Nuke. The Nuke started left, then turned over and began sailing right, finally approaching the bottom of the hill finished with a left fade... across the dirt road at the bottom of the hill!

After locating the disc, spotters with years of experience watching discs descend from that teebox declared this one of the longest throws they'd ever seen. No drive all weekend equaled the distance C.J. got on that throw (not even the mighty Vandagriff 360 butt roller). The rest of the weekend across the ranch you'd hear whispers of "that's the kid who threw to the bottom of the hill on 18!".

So the "Toy" is no more. The Cannon has arrived.

The drive:



P.S. all stories of our final score on that hole are probably greatly exaggerated.
