The 2013 Schedule

So last year I was able to play in 16 tournaments, 15 in Advanced and 1 in Open. I am not sure what the breakdown will be this year but I figured it would be interesting to at least post the schedule of tournaments I hope to play in this year. I think I mentioned it in a previous blog that my intention is to move up to Open at whatever teir level and below I am able to win an Advanced tournament in. Wait, that doesn't really make sense. If I win a C-tier tournament in advanced, the rest of the year I will play C-tier tournaments in Open. If I win a B-tier in advanced, I will play B and C-tier tournaments in open the rest of the year. Okay, alright, enough stalling, here is the schedule.

March 16, 17 - St. Patty's Day Meltdown - Fort Collins, CO
March 23, 24 - 303 Am Challenge - Denver, CO
April 6 - Spring Fling Ams - Arvada, CO
April 7 - Spring Fling Pro - Arvada, CO
April 11 - One Round Challenge @ Peter Pan - Emporia, KS
April 12, 13, 14 - Glass Blown Open - Emporia, KS
April 20, 21 - 303 Open - Denver, CO
May 4, 5 - Greatful Disc - Fort Collins, CO & Red Feather Lakes, CO
May 18, 19 - Colorado Open - Glenwood Springs, CO
June 1, 2 - Sakuna Matata - Black Forest, CO
June 7, 8, 9 - Foothill Flyers Tournament - Conifer, CO
June 22, 23 - High Plains Chalenge - Fort Morgan, CO
July 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 - Am Worlds - Emporia, KS

September 28, 29 - Johnny Roberts Memorial - Denver, CO & Conifer, CO
October 4, 5, 6 - Colorado State Disc Golf Championships - Fort Collins, CO

This is all subject to change of course, but this is the plan for now. I will admit that I am very sad that it is not in the plans to make a trip out to McCook, NE for an event there. Unfortunately scheduling conflicts are making this not a possibility.

Double Digit Down Milestone

I am surprised that I forgot to post this earlier. It was a pretty big deal in my disc golf career. Back on Januaray 23rd, 2013, I shot my first ever round that was double digits below even. I did it fromt he Red tees at CHU, and sure most of the baskets were set short in preparation for the last Winter Warriors stop. CHU is not that easy of a course so even at its easiest, it is not something I ever thought would happen there. There are plenty of other courses that I would say that this would have been more likely to happen at. None the less, it happened at CHU and I am beyond elation about that. I claim CHU as my home course now since it is the one I find myself playing most often. It is not something I expect to repeat any time soon either. Still, I am hoping that this is good news for this year. It is really something to build off of and something to keep me motivated through this year. Since last year was a blah year, it is exciting to start the year off with something like this. Now, on to the other goals of the year.
