Luckily, being tired doesn’t mean much on the West coast when your body is still on Eastern time. I overslept this morning and was still on the road at 7:00am to go play disc golf. The Hellyer Park course was decent, despite being located right next to the 101. My play was also decent, despite cryptic (or downright wrong) basket placement signs. I suppose if I were less lazy, I could have scouted each hole before throwing. Meh.

I took some pictures of the course while playing. I now have almost as many pictures of this course as I do of the course I play every week.

When I returned to MoFo HQ, Tracy, one of the members of the QA staff, noticed my discs on the desk and stopped by to chat. As it turns out, Tracy is a nationally-ranked pro disc golfer. He invited me to play with him sometime down at the world-famous (well, among disc golfers) Santa Cruz disc golf course. I don’t think I’ll have time for another round this week, but next time we’re both out this way, I will certainly take him up on his offer, and hope that my play will rate somewhere above “comic relief.”

    Great story!! And, I must know… did you and Tracy get that match?
    I suspect you’re throw ranks you much higher than “comic relief”.
