The Summer Tour is well on its way..
Submitted by Valarie Jenkins on Thu, 2007-07-12 09:55.Its been a great couple of months on the road..
Starting in May i won my first National Tour in Los Angeles and to top it off i finally turned 21! It was a great tournament! Surrounded by great friends and celebrated to the max!
We then traveled up to Grass Valley to play Motherlode.. The strong womens division consisted of only Burl, Kathy Manley, and I.. but as usual it was a battle until the end. Burl and I tied, but Burl pulled out strong in the Rock Paper Scissors and got the points for the tourney.
Next stop was Masters Cup in Santa Cruz. I love coming here every year. You've got the great DeLa course, the beach, and Tacos Moreno! What more could you ask for? We camped out at the Hardings house, and had a blast every night. They ended up housing about 10 people for the weekend, definately the place to be that weekend. I struggled with my putting but i kept my mental game together, and tried to maintain. When playing at DeLa you can have all the skill in the world, but when it comes down to the cliffs, roots, and elevation much luck is needed. You DO NOT want to get DeLa-ed. I had some trouble during my last few holes of the tournament and ended up taking 4th.
Blowing Green...
Submitted by Valarie Jenkins on Tue, 2007-04-17 10:28.Just played in Bowling Green, Kentucky this past weekend, and what a time!
Weather reports for the weekend expected cold temps with RAIN, RAIN, and more RAIN.. but nevertheless through rain, sun, snow, and wind.. (well prepared) Disc Golfers from all over the US came to play!
We drove through plenty of storms on Thursday to arrive in the sun in Bowling Green. The horrible weather even held off for us during our rounds on Saturday. But come Sunday the cold, rain and snow mix hit us.. Dressed for the weather we all managed to survive..
I finished our last round at Keriakes Park in 4th place, 2 strokes back of 3rd. We drove to Lovers Lane where the final 9 would be starting soon, and as everyone had said, the top 4 men, and top 3 women would be playing. Reading through the booklet we got in our players package they printed that the top 4 women would be featured in the showcase. I brought it up to the TD and WHAMO- I'm still playing for my place. So i stepped up to the tee following Des Reading, Angela Tshiggfrie, and Burl.
