The thrill of victory (Not a Disc Golf Story)

The Castaway Cove Putt Putt Course


On Tuesday at work an associate challenged me to a round of Miniature Golf (Putt Putt) on the Castaway Cove course on he Boardwalk. I like Putt Putt but have not played in years but I was all for taking on the challenge.

Kenny and I started the round. Kenny got a hole in one on the first hole. Cubby reponded with a hole in one on the second hole. As the machplay round went on I found myself down 4 holes with 4 holes to play. A tough proposition to win those 4 holes in a row for the tie to force a sudden death playoff. Somehow I won those last 4 holes and off we went to start the playoff.

Kenny on the same hole that he got the opening hole in one hit the putt right on the cup and I thought it would be another hole in one but it hit the back of the cup and just went past the hole. We tied that hole.

On the next hole that I had my hole in one during the match I once again got another hole in one thus winning the playoff. It was a sweet comeback victory.


Here is the Golf Ball that rolled it's way to victory.

It was great using my Disc Golf mental game to get the victory.

Friday Morning (Night) Disc Golf at Rutgers with Przemek, Sergii, Piotr, and Gina

Przemek (Poland), Cubby (USA), Sergii (Ukraine), Piotr (Poland), Georgina (Hungary)

Headed up to Rutgers Disc Golf Course after work for some Night Disc Golf on Friday morning. We arrived at the course at 2:45AM. 4 of my European University Students joined me for 3 rounds.

Wednesday Disc Golf at Tinicum with Don and Ken

Cubby, Ken, and Don.


Headed to Tinicum Disc Golf course in Pennsylvania to throw a round with Don and Ken. I arrived at the course at 6:30 PM. Don brought an old Innova Practice Target for the Photo Op.

Cubby's Putter in the canal.

As we were walking up to the Innova Target to take the customary photo, I took a long putt at it that sailed into the old coal barge canal. Luckily the water level was low and it landed in a spot where we could see it. With some help from Don, I navigated the steep decline down the bank of the canal and used a really long tree branch to recover my Putter. That was a close call. Sorry Big John I still have the Putter :)

Scores for the round: Don shot a 58, Cubby a 60, and Ken a 61.

On the way home I got a call from my youngest daughter at "The College of New Jersey". She was telling me that someone in school was asking if she knew about Disc Golf and she replied that her her Dad plays. Just so happens the individual asking her about Disc Golf follows the Blog. So I want to say hi to Kyle and friends and to let them know that it would be a pleasure to throw some rounds with them soon. Thanks for checking out the blog.

Wednesday Morning (Night) Disc Golf at Rutgers and 2 Aces

Headed up to Rutgers Disc Golf Course after work. Got about half way there and I realized that I left my wallet at work so I went back for the wallet and then continued on to Rutgers. It was a nice night with temps in the mid 60's. I got my 226th and 227th Aces. I am going to get some sleep now and probably head back out to play in the afternoon/evening.

Monday Night / Tuesday Morning Disc Golf at Rutgers with Chris and Dennis

After work I headed to Trenton to help my youngest resolve some issues with her move back to College getting her computer outfitted with a wireless card and getting some things done for her at the house she is renting this year. After leaving Trenton, I headed to Rutgers for some Disc Golf.

Chris, Cubby, and Dennis

After a round as I was teeing off on Hole 8, I was approached by an individual saying "Cubby is that you?". It was a fellow Disc Golfer, Dennis. He has checked out the Blog and told me that he and his friend Chris talked yesterday about maybe running into me one night on the course. Dennis recently played in his first Disc Golf Tournament the 2007 Jersey Jam. He let me know that his friend Chris was on the way to the course.

After Chris arrived he showed us a picture of himself on Hole 1 Tee at Rutgers in the 70's before the baskets were installed, when the course was an object course. Chris had a super large Afro and I hope he can get me the picture to post on the blog.

We played 2 rounds and I had a blast throwing with Chris and Dennis. It really was cool getting to meet and enjoy Disc golf with others that have followed the Blog. I am really looking forward to throwing some rounds with Chris and Dennis again soon.

BTW, Dennis is running for the US Senate as a write in candidate for New Jersey. If elected he will appoint me to some sort of Disc Golf Advisory Position. He's got my vote! If I get any info on his campaign I will post it in the link section.


Here is a picture of Dennis putting on Hole 12's basket. It was dark and I had to use some photo software to over expose the picture. You can see the disc by the green light streak in the picture. Dennis made the Putt.

Thanks to Chris and Dennis for a very fun couple of rounds of Disc Golf. Welcome to Cubby's Disc Golf World my friends!
