FORT STEILACOOM DISC GOLF COURSE

My twelfth disc golf disc—a Ching Velocity Power distance driver disc. Opaque blue with silver foil stamp, 175 grams.


(1) Calling Rik, in regard to finding his Innova DX Leopard on hole #11 of Fort Steilacoom's Northwest (pink) course. (Photograph taken by the brother.)


(2) Teeing off on hole #14. Look at that form and follow-through! (Photograph taken by the brother.)


(3) Playing from the middle of bushes on throw #2 on hole #18. (Photograph taken by the brother.)


(4) Playing from behind bushes on throw #3 on hole #18. I sense a theme here... (Photograph taken by the brother.)

The wife, the child, the brother, and I headed down to Fort Steilacoom for a half round of disc golf. We played the back nine of the Nortwest (pink) course.

I played a 38 on the back nine of the Northwest Course. I seem to be regressing. Oh well...

We had a lot of fun as we tried to figure out what we were doing and played some monster holes that should really be more than par 3.

The Velocity came in handy on many holes. I find myself tending toward its use on anhyzer, hammer, and thumber shots. I think of it as my "brush hog." If I need to get over, around, or through trees or bushes, then it is the disc I reach for. In this regard, it performs spectacularly, and has seen quite a bit of use, especially recently, as the flora of the Northwest takes root and leaf in the abnormally warm late spring.
