2009 Best Buddies Disc Golf League: Week 4: Bryant Lake

... and it's Zach Lien in front, right out of the gate! Zach started this week with 5 birdies within the first 6 holes. It reminded me of how he was playing the first night of our disc golf road trip. Mark had the shot of the night with a nice +40' birdie putt (see pic below.) The weather ended up being pretty nice after a rainy day, the ground was dry so we didn't have to wipe our discs off at all. Zach had a great first round, but otherwise I feel like we all played pretty average, maybe the guy with 2 double bogies on the front nine was playing a bit below average. We didn't gather and look at the scores after the first 9 holes like we usually do, but Zach was conveniently aware of the scores and where he stood ;] So, after hole 12 we all looked at the scores. Zach had a tragedy on a gimme putt that flopped out, which brought Zach and Jake's scores both to 37. Zach then bogie'd hole 13 so he was trailing by 1 pt. Jake played pretty consistent for the rest of the round and Zach finished with two birdies, hole 17 and 18 (those are big holes!) and Jake birdie'd 17 and par'd 18 so the boys were tied again at the end of the round. Mark and I finished behind them by a few strokes. So it came down to sudden death elimination on hole 1. Zach and Jake basically had the exact same drives, off to the right of the basket onto a grassy hill. They both laid up, Zach's was a little short which made his putt harder. Unfortunately, he missed his putt and Jake made his for his 3rd victory point! I'm really excited to see Mrs. Climo's stats for this week since there were soo many birdie's and stuff, it should really shake-up the stats. It was a fun time, next week we're back at Rosland - you guys better look out!
