Rodney hitting the ace on 2 because he was talking to himself (as usual), asking what disc to pick. I was actually hoping he would pick a mid range or driver! He went with the putter... :P

Also, Randy hitting the ace on 18! Sweet buzz shot straight at it!

Watching a putt fly over the head of the person who threw it and landing 150 feet away!

Standing at tee box 15 while Salada teed 14 and seeing his Purple Z Disc come flying right at us! Thinking it would skip my right I just stayed there but it hit those pipes and wized by me at like 90 mph, neck high! Missed me by two feet! Close one for dm4! It was a bit windy!!!

My second day at the Rock went from good to great. Started the day on #14 (the island) par, #18 - my Roc flew right past the basket (near miss), #5 I threw my Star T-Rex and face-masked the basket on the fly, # 8 I threw my roc on a blind shot around the back of the big evergreen for a 130 foot par. Then in the second round I aced #2. I went from 6th place to third and only one stroke out of 2nd in one day. Quite memorable for me.

Unfortunately my memory from the Rock will not be a good one. We were sitting on the tee for hole 15, and WHAMO! Randy Brown was drilled in the back of the head with a drive from the top of the cliff. It was probably the scariest thing I have witnessed on a disc golf course. An inch higher or lower and we could of had a big time problem. The disc hit directly on the clasp of his hat. That is all that saved him from several stitches.

Ouch. Hadn't heard about Randy yet. Reminds me of a time several years ago when a poor Asian spectator had the same experience.

Just remembered, when the basket was under the ledge on hole #2, I landed on top of the ledge, on the north edge! yuch! Got up there and did not know what to do, so I laid down nex to my marker, and hung over as far as I could. I could see the basket! Flicked my putter right in! :)

I did not think it would work, then I am inching my way out there, and start thinking it may work. Then I look down and I am only about 10 or 15 feet from the basket, and I know it will work! Yes Mike, it was crazy! And fun!!!!! :)
