Nevin Park on Tournament Day


SYLVIA





Thierry, Guillaume, and Chris


Sylvia and Isobel










No. It was not a petanque tournament. We were taken by surprise to be stopped upon entering Nevin Park (6000 Statesville Rd) for our routine 3rd Saturday play. The attendants at the gate informed us that the park was closed to the general public due to a Pro Disc Golf tournament having the entire park reserved.

We usually see local disc golf players during our monthly play, but this was different. We were told that there were pro players from all over the world competing for a first place prize of $35,000!

Wow!

They were nice enough to grant us entrance, even though it appeared dicey for a while. Shirley played the diplomat and explained our situation.

We had a great group of players, several of whom were new to our venue. Thierry, Isobel, and Chris were first-timers with us and Sylvia returned after having played with us once before. We're hoping all of them may become regulars.
