Today I set a new personal best of even par on the short course in Bidwell Park. I played with a new putter that I borrowed from a buddy and it took two strokes off of my average. I would also like to remind people about the referndum that is taking place in order to restore disc golf.

4 Chico city council members just voted to kick disc golf out of upper Bidwell park. Ann Schwab, Mary, Tom, and Adny Holcomb can have the worst things in the world happen to them, and only them.
