Once again, off to the links they go.
Welcome to Victor Ashe Park in Knoxville, Tennessee for today's disc golf match. The course at Victor Ashe Park is free to play, and both the design and outside gates lead us to believe that this may have once been home to a traditional golf course. Today, it hosts an 18-hole course along with many walking paths and other amenities. For today's match, our players will be playing a "modified nine", which has previously been discussed but not actually done. They will go through holes 1-5, but instead of going to a different section of the park, head to hole 15 and finish out the course. In addition, because of the water hazard at the first tee, our players will modify hole 1 and play an "alternate tee" that is on some maps, despite no tee box existing on the course. The blue short baskets are in play for this round. With all the ground rules out of the way, how will the players do?
Course Result:
His Holes: 3
Halved: 0
Her Holes: 6
Course Record: Him 9 - 4 - 15 Her
Holes Record: Him 65 - 97 Her
The alternate tee proved rather difficult for our players, though he was able to take hole 1 and jump out to a lead. It wouldn't last long, as two missed putts cost him hole 2 and she tied the score. Missed putts would continue to plague him, as she take the last lead on hole 3. She was once again able to pick up another hole, this time on 4, and a missed putt from him gave her the game winner on hole 5. The missed putt woes continued for him, as despite some better driving from him, she was able to seal the match on hole 15. With the game iced, she had some trouble in the rough, while he was finally able to get a 4 and win hole 16. The rough and missed putts plagued both our players on the 17, but he was able to pull out the win. Those trees would prove to be detrimental on the 18, though, as she would take her sixth hole for the match. The shots were 48-52 in her favor.
Will she win another? Will he pull it back? Will their handicaps improve? You'll find out next time, but until then, be sure to Follow Your Internal Compass.
