Joseph played in his first formal Disc Golf Tournament this past Saturday. Joseph has participated in doubles (league) play in the past. This was his first official tournament where he played solo.
*
He was the only player in the Juniors division, which made him more excited to play. The first round (which I was not there for) he shot a 112 for 18 holes. The second round (which I caddied) he shot a 109.

Joseph has only been playing disc golf for about a year and only became serious about the sport over this past summer. He has improved his putting game tremendously by practicing in the yard. The picture above gives you an idea about how good his form is becoming.

For winning the Juniors division Joseph received dog tags (as all division winners received) and a $10 merchandise certificate. He also won a CTP (closest to the pin) and that prize was two golf discs and a backpack. The best part of all (at least for me as the caddie/Dad watching him play) was his play on #1 during the second round.

Here's the story...
Innova Champion Discs is very good with helping out local tournaments. They made available several brand new Star Cro Golf Discs. They were given away to players based on how they played #1 during the second round. There was one disc per group on the course. The player who was closest to the hole on #1 from their drive would win the golf disc. Joseph was playing with three intermediate men. All more experienced than Joseph. Well wouldn't you know it? Joseph out drove them all and won the disc! That was very cool.

How exciting! How fun for you to get to share this with Joseph. Great picture!!
Way to go, Joseph! How nice, Adam, to be so proud of your son!
Way to go Joseph! Very cool. If I did the math correctly (which I may not have) it sounds like Joseph won dog tags, 3 golf discs, $10 in merch. and a backpack.
Very, very cool.
Way to go Joseph!!! I can't wait to see you play when we visit in October.!

ADAM!!!!! What's up? Sorry I missed your last call. I've tried to call back several times but I think I only have your old Iowa numbers, and it says something along the line of being disconnected. Mary and I were married on July 21st, sorry, again, no phone number, and I forgot that I could go to your blog to contact you. I'm thinking of starting to blog again. Anyway, hit me back when you get the chance.---Nate
