I posted an anouncement about this tournament on the calendar. Advanced and Pros play Saturday, lower amateurs and gender mixed divisions play Sunday. Each day is a seperately sanctioned tournament so you can play both days.
Grand Ledge is a really cool course. It features a natural limestone walled ravine which makes for some interesting cliff shot holes, including one tricky hole where you play up the cliff. Even so, most of the course is pleasantly park-like. The extreme holes are sprinkled in like potent seasoning.
It also features a hole with an island green. I'm not talking about yellow tape and artificial o.b. I'm talking about needing a perfect throw to lay up to the gap above the pond and then another accurate throw to the basket on the island in the pond. Usually only the pros and advanced players play this hole and every one else plays to a basket that is backstopped by a steep hill at the pond's edge.
Recreational Woman Diana Brakel and little old Intermediate me won in advanced mixed last year and are looking to defend our crown.
October 25 and 26
Bruce,
How did this doubles tournament go?
Wow. I responded to this question a few days ago and must have forgot to hit the post button!
Attendance was great. 50 played on Saturday and 80 on Sunday. Terry Calhoun and I teamed up on Saturday and played poorly. Diana and I played advanced mixed on Sunday and finished second to the only advanced/advanced team playing advanced mixed.
The weather was not great: cold, cloudy and threatening rain all weekend.
The tournament ran smoothly. No one called me a moron or told me to f-ing grow up. [You have to be reading PDGA.com to understand that.]
