NAD DISC GOLF COURSE

The child and I headed over to Bremerton this morning to meet the brother at NAD Disc Golf Course for a round of eighteen holes. TWT had presented the brother his own DX Stingray golf disc for his birthday, and was now ensuring that it was properly broken in.


(1) The brother throws his disc toward the "putting green" basket. It is the small oval in the upper middle of the picture. The brother nailed his first throw of the day—a sixty-foot putt—whereupon TWT knew he was going to have some competition.


(2) The brother prepares to throw his drive on hole #4.


(3) TWT returns to the the tee pad of hole #9 after locating its basket. Miraculously, neither TWT nor the brother hit any of the pictured trees. (Photograph taken by the brother.)


(4) Troy's Work Table roars after sinking an uphill putt from behind trees on hole #17, posing with the disc that did the job—The Upshot. (Photograph taken by the brother.)

NAD Disc Golf Course is an 18 hole, par 54 course (par 3 on each hole). TWT scored a 72; the brother a 79. That was pretty good for a couple of newbies. This is the second time that TWT had played NAD and the first time for the brother (and only the third time the brother had played disc golf).

After the brother figured out what worked best for him when throwing the disc, he started to play a completely different game. In fact, he beat TWT by one throw on the back nine.
