So the Ace Race that I’m running at Panthorn Park is almost here! It’s a neat concept that Discraft has; to run an event, the Tournament Director must charge $20 and $20 only as the entry fee. Each player who signs up receives two identical prototype discs from Discraft, plus a SuperColor mini disc and a Discraft hat. You play the event similar to a normal disc golf tournament, only rather than traditional stroke play the players try to earn marks on their scorecard based on number of aces and number of metal hits throughout the day. The course gets shortened up quite a bit in order for every hole to be an “ace race”, and each player only gets one throw from the tee on every hole in an effort to get an ace. Very low key, very low pressure as a TD, all in all should be a good time.
And today, the player’s packs showed up at my house! The pile isn’t nearly as impressive as the amount of stuff I get every year when I run the Amateur Challenge, but it’s still a good amount of stuff that I somehow wish I could just keep all of. Although I will admit, owning 46 of these discs would probably be a bit much even if they DO feel really nice in the hand.
Here’s the stash by my front door… can’t wait to throw these babies and see how they fly!
