Well with the tournament season done, the cold weather kind of on its way, it is once again time for Winter Warriors here in Colorado. This is a great event to keep you playing during the winter while raising money for a good cause. That cause is the Food Bank of the Rockies. I am so glad to be raising money for a cause like this to help feed the people around me. This event is part of thereason why the Mile High Disc Golf Club is one of the biggest fund raising clubs in the Ice Bowl events.
So the basics that you may or may not remember from last year are this. Each week we play a different course. Weather is not an issue. It is a random draw doubles format. There are always special holes to make things a bit more interesting. Only your top 6 scores count but dropped scores contribute to the tie breakers. Last year I finished just outside of the top 10. Only the top 10 get trophies.
So, I have a couple of goals for Winter Warriors this year:
1. To help more with the events and provide some support to the two guys who run the event.
2. To make sure I am having fun no matter what the circumstances are during the events.
3. To show up at every event. Even though I did this last year, it would be great to make sure I am continuing to practice throughout the winter.
4. To finish in the top 10 at the end of the season.
5. To win at least one week.
We are two weeks in and I have a good start on these goals. I have been helping each week, including the making of an informational sign to help reduce the number of questions they have to deal with at check in. Last week there was an instance where fun was drawn into question as half the guys in the group I was playing with were getting a little drunk and smoking a rare weed. I'm not sure why anyone would need either of these things on the disc golf course to have a good time, but in the end it was still a good time. I am not in the top 10 at this point as I have two mediocre performances. I mostly blame my lack of practice on that. The season is off to a great start and it is only the begining.
