Inaugural Hero’s Huk
Jurkface and I got up ridiculously early this morning and drove two hours south to what I think is one of the best courses in Colorado. The Pueblo City Park Disc Golf Course features 18 challenging holes in a well-maintained park setting. There’s a good mix of long bombs, turnovers and technical tree holes. To be honest, the main reason I played this tournament was to play this course.
Unfortunately, with as many tournaments as I play, there’s inevitably going to be times when I just plain forget how to throw a disc. I missed the island hole both rounds and went out-of-bounds at every opportunity to do so. If that weren’t enough, I apparently left my putting game at home. It was a little tough to keep my grin, but I played with great groups both rounds. At one point, after missing the island for the second time, I actually took off my shoe and threw it down the fairway. Fortunately for me this was a pretty relaxed c-tier and my card was too busy laughing to cite me with a courtesy warning..
I would’ve loved to have played better, but it was a fun day nonetheless. I had a lot of laughs and Jurkface played some great golf, easily winning her division. I was glad to see a tournament at this course again, it’s been noticeably absent from the schedule for a few years now. Thankfully the TD announced that it’ll be back next year, hopefully upgraded to a two day b-tier. I look forward to trying again, I can’t possibly play as bad as I did this time!
