The conditions today were far from ideal — wet, swampy, and utterly unforgiving. But that didn’t stop our competitors from giving it their all in this unique blend of speed, strategy, and sheer determination. Welcome to Speed Disc Golf.
The teams were set: On one side, we had the formidable foursome of Frasier, Bunker, Wild Turkey, and Hippie—an intimidating lineup of veterans with a history of dominance. On the other side, the underdog quartet of Midriff, Wingman, Soft Pretzel, and Fire Hazard, ready to take on the challenge despite the odds stacked against them.
As the PAX jogged to the old golf course, there was a sense of anticipation in the air. The grass squelched underfoot, and the low fog hovered over the fairways like a scene from a suspenseful thriller. With discs in hand and competitive spirits high, the battle began.
Team Frasier, known for their precision and power, took an early lead. Frasier himself displayed remarkable accuracy on the throws, with Bunker backing him up with solid form. Wild Turkey’s experience shone through, and Hippie brought an infectious energy that kept his team in high spirits.
But Team Midriff wasn’t about to be outdone. Wingman unleashed some surprisingly long throws, while Soft Pretzel provided steady, reliable backup. Fire Hazard, with his characteristic fire in the belly, powered through the exercises, pushing his team forward. And Midriff, ever the strategist, kept his team focused and motivated through the swampy trials (despite providing unclear directions on cone placement multiple times).
As the teams traversed the course, battling the elements and each other, the gap began to close. As they approached the back 5 holes, Team Frasier’s grit and determination started to pay off as they sustained a 3-hole lead approaching the final hole.
In the end, there were no losers on this day—only men who had faced the swamp and come out stronger. The Brave Disc Golf Invitational will undoubtedly be remembered as a classic, setting the stage for future battles on these hallowed, muddy grounds. Until next time, keep your discs dry and your form strong.
