Well, the weather forecast yesterday proved to be wrong. Rain was supposed to start around 3pm.
The day started off good. I was able to bike for 30 miles. It didn’t rain and it didn’t look like it was going to rain. So I headed down to Cat Hollow to meet Jon. Just as I was about to arrive it started to rain heavily. We decided to wait it out. There was a moment when we were going to wait at Jon’s house but the rain lessened and we headed out to the course.
Wow, talk about flash flooding. There was a pretty swift river now running through the course. And we had to cross it a number of times. It only gave me one problem on Hole 5. My second throw landed right into it. At first, we thought that the disc was lost downstream somewhere. But Jon was able to spot it stuck in some grass.
I was able to get a couple of birdies. Which is great considering just how wet and slippery the discs got.
On hole 10, my second throw went horribly awry. It was raining pretty hard and we were soaking wet. I was walking around trying to find my disc when I hear a voice yelling at us “Do you have a yellow disc?” Jon nods. “It is close to the basket.” Someone on the third floor of the apartment complex boarding the hole had opened their window and was helping us. I continued looking around and then I hear “Do you have a pink disk?” I vigorously nod. “It is over the fence in the complex.” Sigh. When I had thrown it, the wind must have taken it over the fence. It was out of reach and there was no way to climb the fence. I was extremely grateful when the person volunteered to walk down with an umbrella and retrieve my disk for me! I thanked him and found out he was a fellow disc golfer.
