Wintertime OPEn
P
asadena, CA

We arrived in CA around Tuesday before the event which was the start of a three day down pour. The course, Oak Grove, that we were to play this weekend is actually a watershed for the runoff water in the Pasadena area. There was definitely some concern for the state of the course for the weekend. Luckily the weather cleared on Friday. Saturday the temperatures were in the mid 60's with a slight overcast. Sunday was a bit warmer. There was virtually no wind either day.

The event was run very smoothly. The course has a lot of history behind it as it is the first disc golf course ever installed. Partially due to its early installation, the course can be a bit quirky. It is quite short and there are a number of mandatories. It is an 18 hole course, but during the event 9 temporary holes are set up. Because of the excess water from earlier in the week, a number of the temp holes had to be redesigned. I actually liked the redesign better than the previous layout.

Saturday I was driving very well. My putting wasn't great, but it was better than it had been at the end of last season so I was not too upset. Shawn was putting very well and found himself in the hunt. The second round played about the same for both of us.

Sunday came with a 30% chance of more rain, but it never materialized. I finally got my putting to work a bit and Shawn stayed in about the same spot. Overall this was a good event to get the ball rolling again, but it was not a moneymaker. In fact, it quite possibly was the lowest payout for a supertour in the last couple of years.
