Today was the second Blue Skies Over Texas Tournament for me. And the day was pretty horrible for me because it rained. Actually, now that I think about it, it has rained for every tournament that I have been in! In fact, we could not attend our first tournament ever because it rained so much that the course was flooded out.

We arrived early in the morning. It was only just raining a couple of drops. But that would change later on in the day. For the worst. The course was already damp. Damp enough to leave tracks. Like you can see in this picture were a truck or ATV had driven along the course. Fortunately, there was a lot of mulch out on the course. But it was strangely missing in spots.

We had a group of five in the first half of the day. And Damon Neth was in my group again.

Lunch was free. There was taco meats, mixings, and even beer (but it was the low quality Keystone light). John, Jon, and I played 99. However, we ran into problems. With out Adam, we were unable to remember some of the more finicky bits of the rules (like declaring and revealing). But it did not matter. John was not interested in playing it at all. And opted instead to play hacky sack.

We finally started the second half (where the course is reversed) late. Around 2:30 or so. And it started to rain much worse. Ugh.

But the day did end on a positive note. Jon won fourth place (tied for third according to him) for $110 in merchandise at Disc Nation. On the way home we stopped to eat at Bi Ki Ni Bar.
