Ya we played a final 9 and boy was it crazy. We played Mcclure skip a hole and let me tell you that is one long course. So I go into that with a one stroke lead and 2 or 3 local boys on my card which means a lot of people rooting for me to tank it. Everyone Except Duff (who won a $20 dollar bet off of my win I hear.) So I go into the first hole and have one of the better drives of the weekends but am still about 150 ft out from the basket. This hole is made for the righty as it slopes down to the right with a stream at the bottom. So of course my second shot proceeds to skip right into that stream. And I take a circle 5 on the first hole. I also with that 5 give up my 1 stroke lead. We then move on to the next hole where I proceed to make a 55ft putt for 3 that ties me back up for the lead in a three way tie. We then all 3 the next hole. Then hole 6 to 7 I miss a 15 footer and take a 4. Then we all take a 4 on 8 to 9. Then on 10 to 11 myself and Ty both take a 4 on it and the leader I believe takes a 5 or 6 which gives myself the lead again and puts Ty and Joseph in a tie for second 1 back from me. Then we take a star 4 on 13 to 14. Then on 15 to 16 Joseph takes a 6 or 7 with an OB stroke, and Ty still one back from me makes a GREAT putt from 40ft out for a 3. I then proceed to putt from 30ft hitting just left of center chains and splashing out and take a 4 which ties both Ty and I for the lead. Now down to the last hole 1026ft 17 to 18 its a big one. So Ty tees of first and makes it about 250 ft before hitting a tree and falling straight to the ground. I am up next and I throw a hyzer flip shot that heads straight into the trees along the left side of the fairway and get very lucky to kick back into the fairway just ahead of Ty. So now its Ty's turn to throw his second shot and with many limbs in his way he tries to throw a hyzer shot that will sit in the fairway but the wind decides to carry it to far left and it skips OB. At this point I know that I just have to play smart to win this thing. So I throw my second shot up the fairway and then a thrid shot about 250ft away from the pin and then toss a nice wasp 15ft from the basket and take the win by three strokes. It was no doubt the best win for me so far in my disc golf career and I will cherish it for many years just wish I had a trophy of some sort to remember it by but I will take it either way.
Thank you to everyone that was watching the scores over the weekend and anyone that was rooting for me I appreciate the support from my friends and my local Club. Also I know that she wont read this but I am so thankful to have the most amazing Girlfriend/Caddy in the world. Thank you Leah for being there this weekend for me.
