I finished in 3rd,4th and 5th place playing AM2 this year in un-sanctioned tournaments. I finished 4th and 5th this summer playing AM3 in PDGA events. I think my PDGA rating is like 930ish.

Congrats on the win.

I played in my first sanctioned tournament May of last year, which was 6 months after starting to play. It was at the course I had played the most, which I figured would lessen the likelihood of embarrassing myself. I played rec because I figured that was the appropriate place to start.

In the end I did want to hide my head, but not for the reason I expected - I won by 6 throws (would have won intermediate and placed 2nd in advanced), had my first ever ace (won a $150 ace pot), and shot a 985 rated round. Most of the locals know me through my son, who has been playing for several years, and understood I didn't know any better, so I only heard a few "bagger" taunts when my name was called (yes, I deserved them).

Needless to say, it was my only tournament in rec. These days, I play advanced masters with the rest of the old men....

Actually it was....... he's a newby to the DisCap scene this year, played league dubs at J-Park. I'm not sure how long he's been playing but he's got game.

Nice intro for him- I took the "shoot the worst round ever shot on that course just because you let the word tournament get in your head" route
