The Before & After

In a couple days, I will be heading to the Twin Cities on a mission trip. Therefore, the importance of brevity precludes my complete address of the Highbridge trip at this time. That being said, "Whoa! That was an awesome trip!"

I wanted to review the anticipatory poll put up in June. The question: Which Highbridge course are you most looking forward to playing? The options included the Bear, Woodland Green, Blueberry, Granite Ridge, Highbridge Gold, and the night course. Highbridge Gold won, receiving two votes, Woodland Green received one; and the Bear received one, though if I heard it right, the one who voted for the Bear quickly reversed his vote upon playing it.

This month, we will revisit the trip, inquiring what course you most enjoyed playing. As you may have noticed, our list is demonstrably shorter. Appears as if our eyes were bigger than our arms, or more accurately our timetable. Please think back on it, decide based on experience, layout, etc.

We'll backtrack the trip together (seems I'm not the only one interested in writing up the trip). Harcum, we missed you. You are required to go with us next time! I'm out!

Got Game

Well, the results from May's poll is in. When asked what part of their game they thought was the most solid, participants (all four) were split. We had 2 votes for mid-range shots, while we had one vote for driving accuracy and cold lamping respectively.

With no votes cast for distance driving or putting, our poor, intrepid group seems to miss out on either side of the "drive for show; putt for dough" adage. Not only can we not drive far, we cannot close holes well. I suppose it is good then that our approach games are solid. And if the work on the course does not work out, we can always cold lamp with the best of them! I would call this fairly accurate, though, from what I know of our members' games.

On to the next poll!

This month, in preparation for the Bachelor Weekend of the Century, we will explore which course we look forward to the most at Highbridge Hills Sports Complex. While Gold may have an inside track, don't count out the night course.

This month should have some solid posts coming, including the King and I's Memorial Day trip to the new South Sioux City course (surprising stuff, let me tell you) as well as eventual recaps from the Bachelor Weekend trip. Stay tuned, ya'll!

Meet you back at the tee...

Working the Poll

As some of you have noticed, we have recently added several new features to the site. The newest of which is a monthly poll. Each month we will probe your minds that we might better know and understand our audience and authors. Last month, our question focused on the most mundane question I could think of: What brand of disc do you prefer? The results? A unanimous selection of Innova. The disc manufacturing giant was always bound to be the selection, though I am surprised that Discraft did not make an appearance.

For my part, I looked in my bag and noted that I tend to have a heavy Innova presence. And while a number of Discraft discs (including the Buzz and Stalker) are my prefered plastic for a number of shots, if I looked at the overall total of shots I take, they most often begin and end with Innova.

Please feel free to comment as to why you made the selection you did. Or if you have other comments, they are welcome as well.

This month's question deals with the strength of our games... What phase of disc golf is your strongest? Results coming at the end of May!

Til then, I hope everyone gets a little world champ lovin'
