Title: Trussville, Alabama
Post by: Bruce Brakel on December 14, 2007, 11:57:15 AM
It's sunny with a high of 75,
We're playing disc golf and getting fives
It's funny how you find you're enjoying life
When you're happy to be alive.


That might be amusing if you know the song.  The course is fun.  A mix of Bradley's scattered trees, Rum Village's hills, and Northwood's holes carved out of the schule.  I was +6 from pros and -1 from shorts.  I get two rounds of pros tomorrow at the tourney and Kelsey gets two rounds of shorts, so the crown will go by ratings. 

Good course.  About 12 hours from Waterford, counting stopping for gas and food.  10.5 if you have an extra tank and a big bladder. 

Sunday we're playing the Huntsville courses.  We'd like to thank our sponsor, attorney Dan Flaggman.

We're just down here enjoying the sunny, spring weather.  We played 117 holes of disc golf but we stretched it out over three days.  They're having a blizzard in Michigan so we're delaying coming home for a day. 

Kelsey got an ace yesterday at the tournament and won the ace pool.  We all p[layed well.  Results are up on pdga.com.

Upon further review the call of 117 holes by the mathemetician on the field has been overruled.  Apparently the instant replay shows we played 135 holes. 

The best course we played is on a military base called the Arsenal in Huntsville.  If you ever go down there, you gotta play the Arsenal, but you gotta know someone to get on the course.  [You know me.  I know somebody.]  Or you have to be a woman playing this year's women's nationals. The Arsenal is a wonderful course.  Every hole is different from the last.  We played all the courses they are planning on using for Women's Nationals. 

We drove all night and now we are home.
