Off they go to another course!
Welcome to Powell Station Park in Powell, Tennessee, just on the outskirts of Knoxville for today's disc golf match. Powell Station is a free-to-play nine-hole course situated on a municipal park near the local high school. Although this is a shorter course, it can be deceptively tricky with the number of trees protecting the holes even along the fairway. Signage is fairly good, including how to get across the dried-up creek bed. Most importantly with this match, how did our players do?

Right off the bat, this was not going to be a good game for him with some short fairway shots. Our players traded missed putts, but she had enough to win the first hole. On both holes 2 and 3, a shot into the rough cost him, as she took both. A misdirected tee shot put him further into the hole, as despite traded missed putts, she takes hole 4. The missed putts continue for him, this time costing him hole 5 and sealing the victory barely halfway through. Things get worse for him, as bad tree luck slows him up, giving her a sixth win on hole six. Despite traded missed putts, she was able to get to the green quicker, leading her to take yet another hole. Things would turn around for him on the eight, as a missed putt gave him the win and prevented the sweep. He had a chance to also take hole 9 with bad tree luck from her, but a missed putt from him halved the final hole. The shots were 45-51 in her favor, a complete domination as he was unable to break five shots on any hole.
The competition is starting to look out of reach, but can he pull anything back? We'll find out at the next course, but until then, be sure to Follow Your Internal Compass.
