I have played a tournament this windy since the Widdershins. It was crazy.

Thanks for running the event! Really wanted to play but I just wasn't man enough to deal with the elements.

I have played a tournament this windy since the Widdershins. It was crazy.

On my last hole, I had about a 100-ft upshot with a LR crosswind. Disc hit the ground about 20 ft out, started to settle, then swept up into the air, and bounced and rolled about 150 ft to the right like it was haunted.

It was still fun in a perverse kind of way. Would have been intolerable if it was raining though.

yeah I'm really glad that everyone was off the course round 2 before that short rain burst hit.  That would have just been insult to injury.  Really tough weekend, and thanks to all that toughed it out.  I have a feeling that our October tournament in 2013 is going to be single day only.

The wind was so crazy it was fun.  On one hole I had a 10 foot putt into the wind. I drilled a Pig dead center and hit the post.  Perfect putt.  The disc turned up caught the wind, blew back at me and started to roll landing 20 feet behind me. I wasn't to happy about the wind then, but it was still fun.

I understand the concern about a 1 day tournament in October.  It may have been best this past weekend. However, if its on the schedule for a while and  at a course like Fairfield where there is a player base or perhaps Manhattan next  year after more people have played it, you will get a much better turnout. I think IOS was plagued by changes, new courses with little time to get the word out,  and course cancellations  When things are listed for a while the players plan around these events.
