Saturday morning was quite a bit different as we arrived to the course for the third round of the 2015 Aussie Open. Instead of the intense sun, heat and humidity, the skies were overcast and there actually was a chill in the air. After two days of blistering heat, it was a welcome change. As players started to arrive at the Mundaring Sporting Club, they were greeted by a blustery wind that would only continue throughout the morning hours. The locals seem to embrace the wind, as the breeze coming from the southeast means a calm ocean and, apparently, some really low scores…again.
After playing in such difficult conditions yesterday, competitors of the 2015 Aussie Open were hoping for Mother Nature to ease up. Yesterday’s storm had cooled things down quite a bit, but it did leave a lingering breeze which, in Australia, tends to swirl and confuse players to almost maddening proportions. If you have the mental game to combat the humidity and blustery conditions, you seriously have a chance to spring forward to make a big leap on the leaderboard. That is exactly what three particular players intended to do.
G ’day, mates! This weekend we will see yet another benchmark not just for disc golf, but more specifically disc golf in Australia. As the sport continues to grow at an astounding pace, we are seeing people in new parts of the world stepping up to offer a quality disc golf experience on a pristine piece of native land. The tournament staff of the 2015 Aussie Open is no exception.
