With Roy at the beach, Courtney in PA, and Rene MIA, everyone else was afraid to play a tag round last Thursday.
On Sunday, 5 players showed up but only 3 finished. The other two melted in the 100 degree heat out on the course. Courtney grabbed another win to put him within 13 points of the overall leader. Check out the leaderboard to see the overall standings. This C-Tier PDGA tournament is being held on Saturday, August 13th at a private course near Richmond called 'The Village'. Online registration is available on the Disc Golf Scene website.

Mike Wilson, Kyle Wilson, and Courtney Biel were all tied at 3 down thru 11 holes. During the next 2 holes, both Kyle and Courtney got birdies while Mike took pars. Mike gained a stroke back on hole 14 but then took 3 birdies in the last 4 holes to take himself out of contention. Kyle took a 1 shot lead on 15 with a birdie after parking his drive withing 7 feet. Courtney tied it back up on hole 16 with a birdie but then his drive on 17 found trouble. Capitalizing on the chance, Kyle threw a great drive and made a long putt to seal the victory. Although Courtney had to wipe back some tears as he handed over the #2 tag that he's been able to hold onto for the past several months, he was happy with his overall round. In an interview with himself afterwards, Courtney stated, "If I had to lose the 2 tag, I'm glad it was part of an exciting battle with a great player!" Above are the results of Sunday's tag round. There were no reports of an official tag round last Thursday which would have taken place at The Fox.
-Overall Point Standings- On Thursday, Chris F. and Courtney B. tied for the win. Chris had to leave so no playoff was done; half a win was awarded to both and the points were split. On Sunday, Rene took his 10th win in as many tries. He remains the overall leader of the points race, with Chris in 2nd and Courtney in 3rd. Check out the Point Standings page for full details.
If you don't already know, The Blockhouse (aka The Grange) is an amazing place to play disc golf. It features 2 championship level courses plus an 18-hole tiki course. There are 2 tournaments coming up that are being held there. The AM weekend is the weekend before Labor Day and the PRO weekend IS Labor Day weekend. Registration just opened for both and will be TD'd by the awesome Chuck "Spike Hyzer" Connelly! You will not be disappointed if you go to this tournament. A weekend here is pure disc golf bliss. More details can be found on the flyers located at the registration links below. Don't wait, although this is the first year they are having separate PRO and AM events, it is a popular tournament and will no doubt fill up.
Online registration at Disc Golf Scene PRO Registration: AM Registration: Not much action on Thursday @ The Fox, but 2 members showed up to play. Faunce won over Mars. Kyle Wilson decided to join the club on a dreary Independence Eve and give #2 tag holder, Courtney Biel, a scare during Sunday's tag round. Mike Wilson and Roy Carter fought over who would earn the highly coveted, "joker" tag (highest numbered tag of the club). Mike's double bogey on hole 16 sealed his fate.
Overall Tag Series points have been updated. This Thursday's tag round will be at MHP. There was no reported action for last Thursday, but below are the results from Sunday's round. The overall point standings have been updated as well.
Last Thursday's action was cut short due to a huge storm that passed through so no points were awarded. The weekend brought great "summer" weather that drew 7 people to the course for Sunday's Tag League round. Rene stayed undefeated in League-play although Courtney was making him nervous. They were tied at 4 under after the front 9. Rene took the lead starting the back nine and although Courtney made a late charge to close the gap it wasn't enough. The "Most Improved" award goes to Todd Ashworth - he has been playing solid disc golf consistently for the past couple months. Sunday, Todd finished in 3rd place shooting 2 over par on the Red/Orange layout. Full Sunday results are below and overall point league standings can be found on it's designated page.
