Today was the Three Disc Challenge. Which was an interesting concept for a tournament. Give everyone three brand new discs (a long-range disc, a mid-range disc, and a putter) and let them compete on the same course. But that was my ideal version. Reality was a let down. The biggest one was that you could use any Millennium disc in your bag. Another was that there was some variety in the selection with 5 or so long-range discs and a couple of mid-ranges to choose from. You could even choose multiple of one kind even. I did see some people trying to “break in” their brand new discs by scratching them up on the road or banging them on rocks.

The day started out poorly. It was raining heavily in the morning. A lot of people were standing around with umbrellas. In fact, this is the first time that I have played disc golf with an umbrella. Unfortunately, this course is not built to handle rain. The tee boxes turned into mud pits. You could not take any steps to throw the disc.

One amusing thing was that, out of the four people in my group, they were all project managers (or people who teach project management)! What are the odds of that?
