Estonian Open 15

My expectations of traveling to Estionia to play a Euro Tour event on this 21 hole course I thought would be measured by my ability as a player/competitor and what I learned is that my score was irrelevant. 
 The course is set on a beautifully undulating  cross country ski area, where staying on the fairway was paramount due to the tight tree lined nature of the holes and unforgiving rough. I quickly learned there was no shame in just pitching out and Trevor and I in the last two rounds stuck with our motto "just don't do anything stupid", because a 4 could turn into a 6+ in an instant.  The course length certainly made my legs and shoulder weary by the end and staying focused until the last putt was difficult to say the least. This course rocked, it beat me up, pointed out the flaws in my approach to the sport and left me wanting more. 
 But as I said my score was irrelevant, I would easily trade twice my strokes to experience the hospitality and camaraderie of this trip again. There was about 30 of us staying at Kallibasa a small B&B only a few hundred meters from the golf course. Siim was the master of ceremonies and he made sure we were all fed and happy by the end of the day. Luckily for us everyone spoke English (some better than I did), it was the common language of most of the Nations competing.  Each day we awoke to traditional healthy fresh food where we could lick our wounds from the round before over coffee and talked about how we would accept the challenges of the day. Afterward we returned to Kallisaba to regroup and prepare for dinner before that evenings festivities which usually included disc golf, basketball, ping pong, blanket volleyball,  and any other game we could invent sometimes late into the evening. 
After watching the best players conquer the course in the final holes on Sunday and some long goodbyes after the awards we returned to Tallinn for a late dinner. On a tip from  Rasmus (TD) the Burger Factory was amazing and I would highly recommend a visit there for food when in the capital. 

Cheers!! from the Blanket Volleyball World Champions
 See you next year!!

Junior Disc Golf Spring Series '15

3/7/2015

I would first like to personally thank all the 11 year old boys for pointing out the weakest points of our disc golf course. By nature there is no more of a destructive force than an innocent group of P5/6 boys left to their own accord in the woods, I'm certain I was the same. With no malcontent if it could be broken, twisted, knocked or tampered with at all as a group they achieved it. The course has been repaired, leveled and hardened and is now in a better stronger place because of you, so Thanks again.
 In May we started this series of events to showcase the group that was exemplary at understanding our sport. We presented each group with a quick tutorial on grip, throwing technique and putting as well as other pointers like scoring and navigating the course.  We played a few rounds of 'Ring of Fire' to warm them up before they teed off to become accustomed throwing the discs and focusing on the main objective of our sport, throw the disc into the basket.  Each junior player had one disc and one go around our 9 hole Red Course.  I cannot put into words how honored we feel to have hosted over 700+ Juniors (>=16) at our course in the last five weeks. The spirit, camaraderie and pursuit to succeed in a new sport was unparalleled and drove home how uniquely inclusive our sport can be. A few times we were able to organize 9 groups of 4 all starting at one time, a Junior shotgun start!! The participants traversed our wooded course which is about a Kilometer to complete this challenge, some went happily and asked to play a second 9 hole round, others needed inspiration but all felt the accomplishment of completing a round of golf.  In the end Loretto Senior School reigns supreme posting an outstanding combined score of 143 by clinching the top 6 scores of the series. We play disc golf for the memories of enjoying time with our friends and encouraging them to succeed along our sides. Hitting a 30 meter putt for the first time is as exhilarating lifelong experience and generally lures players back for another chance of improvement.  Loretto Senior School showed the camaraderie and etiquette that is driving the natural evolution of our sport. I believe this fundamental approach to a new sport made the difference for all these first time disc golfers and they now they can enjoy the thrill of scoring the best in our Series as well. Congrats!!  Loretto Senior School!!
Speaking of impressive an honorable mention must go to our 3rd place group the North Berwick Bear Cubs, a group of 30 P5/6 pupils from Law Primary School. If you need any proof a little practice goes a long way they have 2 well used DGA disc golf baskets in their playground at the Primary School with enough discs for their entire class to use. We've gotten to know most of these young pupils hosting demonstrations and lunch clubs at the school. They absolutely crushed the Red Course only 7 strokes from 2nd place to students much older and rose above their next peer group by 15 strokes. 
 Over the last five weeks there were many rounds of ring of fire and more laughs than I'll remember as well as an impressive hole in one by Olivia from Dunbar Grammar, countless big putts and many, many lost discs.   Working with all these young disc golfers has made me a better teacher of our sport as well as a more patient coach. Our hopes are that a few of these Juniors will grow up playing disc golf and in the future find success on the best courses throughout Europe and around the world.  I would like to say Thank You to all who participated and we hope to see soon.
