Big John and I headed up to Keith's house to play 2 rounds on his private 18 hole course. We had a blast!!!!!!!!!!! Kudos to Keith for some very well designed holes.
Video of Cubby, Big John, and Keith playing a round at Rockahock.
Keith presented me with the original tee sign that was on Hole 13 at the Newport News Disc Golf Course when I got my first Ace back in 1998. The original Tee signs were replace with new ones a couple of years ago. This is a special piece of Disc Golf memorabilia for my Ace Collection.
After playing at Keith's place we all went to New Quarter Park to play the newly installed 18 hole Disc Golf Course in Williamsburg, VA. Big John spotted a Bald Eagle in flight as we entered the park, it was a great site.The course is a mixture of open and wooded holes. This course is fun and challenging. It is a fine addition to the other great courses in Virginia. Got to chat with my old friend Mike August, one of the course designers for New Quarter Park Disc Golf Course.

Cubby and Big John strike a pose with my good friend Mike August (New Quarter Park DGC Course Designer) Keith and Shane Irwin in the background. Check out Shane's great Disc Golf page http://www.esdgc.com. Eastern Shore Disc Golf Club, he is doing some great things for the sport.

After playing New Quarter Park, we headed back to play Newport News Park. Cubby got his 142nd Ace on Hole 16 at 3:14 PM with a Innova Pro Valkyrie. The round with the ace was a 15 under round for me, tying my best round at Newport News.

Ran into many old friends at Newport News and Tim and Otis joined me and Big John for some late afternoon Disc Golf.
It was another great day of Disc Golf! Tomorrow is the first day of the 9th Annual Newport News Fall Colors Disc Golf Tournament.
Now for a special edition of the Big John's Road Report
I'm always amazed that wherever Cubby and I travel, everyone seems to know him-and he knows everyone too. He's getting a pretty cool reception here in Virginia, and these good folks are showing this Jersey guy the meaning of southern hospitality too.
The Newport News fall colors tournament is something you should consider putting on your calendar when you can. This part of the country has spectacular beauty. American history is everywhere. This is a good tournament to bring the family.
It's too bad we weren't filming the rounds that cubby aced, they were among the best looking of his aces (I should know, I've seen more than 50 of them).
This is one of the best road trips, It ranks up there with the trip to Seneca we took earlier in the year.
Fly High,
Big John
