I'm getting ready to head out to play glow, 2 hours after dark, in rain-turning to the first snowfall. Already played this morning on melting frosted ground. You're not insane.

Mary Beth Doyle Park and Wetland Preserve..better known as BROWN PAAAAAARK!
Today for the first time I shot the new course at (Brown) Mary Beth Doyle Park. The baskets are not in yet, but the poles are. It's been something like a three and a half year wait to get my old home course back in the ground. Sadly, at the LAST minute (the day they began pouring cement), the city took away our holes #1-5 by the water, ruining years of planning and designing and hundreds of hours of my dad's hard work. (I had almost nothing to do with the new layout ).

The Lone 4
I just finished what was quite possible the most solid round of disc I've ever thrown. '51' on the Toboggan, besting my previous by 5 strokes and I haven't played it in a year (temp. course).
This is how it went down. Overshot #1 by about 90 ft straight past and layed up for the 3. Shot 50 ft up onto the hill to the left side of the fairway on the near 800 ft. steep uphill #2, then bombed up the middle to left side tall grass, layed up for the easy 4. Threw a 600 ft downhill drive on the 900 ft… Continue

BYOB
Thanks to all the players and supporters!
It was a big success today, 22 players took home over 150% more than they paid for today (25 minis, 2 hats, and over 30 discs in prizes) . 175$ cash pay-day to Pro winner Daemon Stahlin who won in a very tight battle over Anthony Bee and Tim Gacioch the whole day.
Other winners: Wade Sullivan, Am 1.
Terry Calhoun, Am Masters.
Emma Fotjik, Women.
Steven Blink, Am 3.

Top 25 - not anymore
I went out with my dad and did the MBD course walkthrough with the Ann Arbor parks dept. peeps today. It's shaping up nicely and I feel like it may actually exist soon.
That was the only good part about area disc golf today.
Then I went to the Farm @ Founder's Park in Farmington Hills for the first time (#1,056) a little 9 hole course with Chainstars and 2 sets of dirt tees and with signs. It was poorly laid out (lack of land to make a good layout flow though) with crazy long walks and a jog b… Continue

March Meltdown
..except it's February and everything re-froze over night after the rain leaving us with some of the most wicked icy fairways I've played on in a tournament. Often you had to lay up or slide a putt or approach for fear of long misses and had to play the ice on several drives and upshots which made a tough day. Got to witness Frame-O- taking a 7 on a short hole.
I played better than expected and got a bit of good luck, shooting a 60 then a 58 at Rolling Hills Long tees (both bad scores but not i… Continue

- Yup...the slide show will only let me view the first page of the album.
I wanted to "slideshow" your course photo's of Willow. The same thing happened. The slide show would not let me go beyond the first page of the album.
When I tried to slideshow the second page of Willow...I was diverted back to the first page. BTW...good job on your course photo's.
Thanks,
Ken

- Ben,
Yes. I can look at each page individually, but in slideshow mode only the first page.
As a test...I went back to the beginning of the slideshow and clicked on the 2nd. page to see if the slideshow would do the 2nd. page. Well...the slideshow diverted back to the 1st. page. I could not get the slideshow to go beyond the 1st. page. Am I "not" doing something?
Thanks,
K.

- Ben,
I added Fort Custer photo's to "My Albums". All came out well. But I cannot get the slideshow to go beyond the first page. Any help here?
Thanks,
Ken
