The players meeting at the 12th Annual Fall Colors DGC.
Every year I try to get back down to Virginia where I learned how to play Disc Golf. It always great to see my old Disc Golf friends and compete in the tournament where I got my first PDGA tournament victory as an Inermediate AM player at the 1st Fall Colors event in 1998. This year I competed in the Advanced Grandmasters Division.
Cubby, Mark, Peter, Lewis.

Here is the group I played with during the first round. The 3 players in this group were competing in the Pro Grandmaster Divison. (Lewis ended up winning the Pro Grandmaster Division) Peter turned 50 today. I shot a 67 the first round.
After the first round we had a great lunch provided by the event staff.
Bob, Stuart, Cubby, and Tom.

I was tied for first with Tom after the first round and Stuart and Bob were two strokes back. Stuart was the 2006 PDGA Advanced Grandmasters Disc Golf World Champion. I competed with him in the Advaced Masters Division at the 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003 Am Worlds. A new Job in 2004 prevented me from future competition at the Worlds. During this round, I shot a 64 to take first in the ADV GM Div. Stuart and Bob tied for second 5 stokes back.
Playing New Quarter was a real treat today as this challenging long and wooded course was played for the first time with new basket positions, most of them in a longer position. This is one of the best courses around! Congrats to everyone that works hard to make this a great course and a great tournament.
I also had the pleasure of throwing 7 holes in practice before the event with the 2004 Junior PDGA Disc Golf World Champion Shane Lynch. Shane won his title at 12 years old. I got to play lots of rounds with Shane and his Dad Mark back in 1998. It was great to see all the regulars I used to play with when I lived in Virginia. I am looking forward to next November.
