A.C.T. XIII
This is a ‘recreated’ post written on 16 August 2024. I recently went disc golfing with an old friend, my rival, JumboC. We discussed many of the old times playing in the Amateur Challenge Tournament (ACT) and I had nothing on here to reference as they were all on Facebook. This post will be a placeholder where I’ll put in the deteriorated pictures I’ve downloaded from there, until a time when I’ll add context about the day.
Sunday, 4 June 2017This tournament was the ACT’s thirteenth, but the seventh in which we participated.
The rivalry was put off this year due to the fact I had an arm injury that forced me to play left handed. Since JumboC declined to match me in this regard, I am, and probably always will be, the title holder of left-handed tournament champion.
I would have chosen to play in the Recreational division if I knew I’d be throwing off hand, but it was too late to change. My first round score of 43 in the Intermediate division put me in a bottom tier group. Interestingly, that group included two women playing in their own Advanced division.
My first round score of 80 was rather impressive… for throwing left-handed, something I had never done before and most certainly awkward to say the least. I have no idea why the guy keeping score circled my count of ‘6’ on the first hole. I do not know what I threw in the second round. I believe I was drinking so let’s say it was not as good.
