Congratulations to the winners of our first Skillz Challenge!

The event consisted of eleven courts, each with it’s own challenge. Twenty-five Club Members came out to test their skills. Players shot four discs from the foot of each court, scoring one one point for each successful disc, to complete a round, allowing a maximum score of 48 (it was possible to score 8 points on one of the challenges). Most of the players shot three rounds, their top score for the day counting to determine the Challenge winners.

And the winners are:

• First Place with 24 Points Each: Mark Dyson and Nellie Daum
• Second Place with 22 Points Each: Bob Tomassi and Marty Miller
• Third Place with 21 Points Each: Larry Aaberg, Job Halfyard, Karry Lancaster and Martin Shapiro

The Skillz:

  • 02 – Lines Lines Everywhere Lines – one point for each disc stopped on a line. Lose a point if a bowling pin is knocked over.
  • 03 – Sticky Kitchen – one point for each disc in the tend. Starts with a disc in the ten each shot. Additional point for any ten disc bumped into the kitchen from the ten.
