June 24th A Disc's Throw World Overall
Tuesday morning started with thunderstorms and our official
weatherman, Jim Elsner, reported that the storms would blow over
in about an hour and a half and for sure, they did! The tee off
for the second round of disc golf at Vallarta- Ast Disc Golf
Course for the "A Disc's Throw World Masters and
Juniors" disc golf portion of the event started at 9:25 a.m.
The sun was shining and within an hour it was about 90 degrees
(unofficial temperature reported by this very hot disc golfer).
For lunch, Glass Nickel Pizza Company donated pizza of many kinds
and incredible salads with "sooo many choices of
dressings" as stated by Louie Cohn when she walked over to
the table. (Later, Louie purchased a bottle of honey mustard
salad dressing for $12 at the auction) Tim Mackey showed up, saw
the salads and grabbed a container of salad with great delight!
Folks enjoyed the work of two massage therapists who were on site
at exactly the right time, before the second round of golf. The
weather was still scorching and though Team Wisconsin had about 4
five gallon jugs of water out on the course, it was difficult to
keep them full; folks were trying to stay hydrated (is that a
word?)
Due to the late golf start, discathon began at about 5:30 p.m.
instead of 4:00 and finished up about 6:30 p.m. Discathon will
finish up Wednesday morning at Hiestand Park.
It was a late start at Tripp Commons for the dinner and auction,
but once everyone arrived, they had a wonderful dinner of spring
mix salad, quesadillas or incredible pasta salad, a beverage, and
a variety of excellent cookies. Paul Thompson and others who
donated items for the auction had fun entertaining the audience
while they tried to get the highest bids. You will have to wait
for the stories until Team Members have time to write them up.
Everyone had a great time and nearly $2000 was raised!
