Catalpa Open! 🏆
A tale of two rounds with two rounds and two completely different results.
Round 1 can be described in a single emoji… 🌧️. It rained non-stop and continuously. EVERYTHING got wet and grip was difficult at the best of times. I just tried to have fun, threw some good shots still but putters LIGHTS OUT! Apparently raining Zack is nasty from C2 and I dunked so many from down town.. 🤷♂️ also, Lunas are super good in case you didn’t know.
Round 2 the weather broke. Mostly clear skies and grip that was restored. I felt like I was throwing better off the tee, but was stuck in C2 still. My putting also felt okay, but 7 of my C2 attempts went off band or top of basket and one missed low. 🤷♂️ the RW-0325-P (Roost) did good work all round and I’m loving the Ares the more I throw it.
Shot the same both rounds 😬 and took home the trophy since the other MPO left earlier in the day. ITS STILL A WIN SO COUNT IT! Overall I still had fun and watched some good disc golf. Thank you Charles for the event and for getting me a personalized celebration for winning with the most Zac trophy of all time. On to the next one!

FINALLY!!!
I’ve been playing like DOG WATER (excuse my language) recently, and today I was worried it would continue at the South Kent County Classic, since I am HORRIBLE (historically) at Brewer (my power is lacking).
Round 1 from the Gold layout started REALLY clean. It helped that there was virtually no wind. I wasn’t getting off the tee well with power, but I wasn’t ever in any real trouble. I gave myself several C2 looks and stayed away from the OB. My only real mistake was an errant run from deep on Hole 15 that landed in between some trees that obstructed my stance which I missed on the comebacker. More unlucky than just bad, and I can live with that. I shot my PB and first time ever in the 50s which was good enough to put me in T2nd place. The new PM Ares was my best disc and best addition to my bag for long range courses.
Round 2 was from the reds, which I MAY have played before, years ago if I did. Played it essentially blind (throwing distance wise) and had to rely heavily on my raptor with the wind really starting to pick up. The leader, Jaden Clark, came out HOT and extended his lead, but I kept my head down and got some strokes back before realizing I was back only one stroke in a two person race as we extended away from the rest of the field. I splashed a crazy 60+ ft putt in a headwind to stay within striking distance on Hole 18, only to follow it up with a “too clean” forehand on Hole 1 which leaked OB. The two stroke swing was too much and I fell short. Had a blast with both cards and it felt good to play well for two rounds at a course that normally has my number.
Thank you Shea for running the best events in Michigan. My Ares and Captain Caliber were the best discs in my bag today.
Bonus + SPOILERS: I got home and watched TEAM CAPTAIN ULI take down the DGPT+ event in Austen 🤯! Congrats El Capitan! So cool to see you get that quality win in your resume after all the years of work. Captain of the best team constructed… EVER! Super happy for him.

I got the new Captain's Caliber to try out from Discraft Disc Golf to celebrate Seppo Paju taking over the European team.
Do you think I will bag it after this round?

It’s been FAR too cold to play recently 🥶, so I figured I’d start a new series in Disc Golf Valley to get my fix.
Watch Masterdarkpoi Gaming and I draft discs for a 9 hole challenge except we can only see one of the options. You can see all the action now on my YouTube channel.
