Chris Faunce did a great job at finding ways to honor Will Grant throughout the tournament. Will's signature island hole 16 was used, special trophies with funny disc golf sayings (seen in pic above) were handed out to division winners and used for other Will Grant style awards. Plastic flowers could be found throughout the course which was something that Will did often. The weather turned out pretty awesome for Saturday. Although the grass was wet in the morning, it didn't rain at all and the sun came out and dried everything up. We had 41 players come out to the tournament. There were several club members that joined in on the action as well. Ex-club member, Mitch Dickens finished 8th out of 9 in Open. In a division of 13 Advanced AMs, Ned Gearing finished 2nd, Chris Faunce tied for 3rd, Courtney Biel 5th. Out of 9 Advanced Grandmasters, Roy Carter and Cliff Watson tied for 5th while Todd Ashworth finished one shot back in 9th. Richard Haelen played his heart out in the Rec division but all he earned was the most number of throws. Full tournament results can be found on the PDGA Event site. We would like to thank everyone that came out to the tournament yesterday; would also like to thank Chris Faunce that made the tournament happen and also did a ton of course work to get the course ready; would like to thank Wilderness Adventure, who donated some sweet merchandise used as prizes; would like to thank Stan Juchno, David Whitcomb, Ned Gearing, and any others that helped out at the tournament. Below you will find some pictures and gifs from some of tournament action, complements of David Whitcomb:
