MADD MACQ’S 002

July 24, 2005 Results and Reports Australian Disc Golf

Already more than 20 people have tried Macq’s course in tournament play and that after only two “real” events. The word is spreading and we are spreading the word – I don’t think we’ll be fewer in the future! This time the highlights were Uai’s thai food and the two Melbournians Ian Bycroft and Paul Arden honouring us by making the long flight just to play with us. We also had a clear blue sky, 20 degrees, model plane enthusiasts, falun gong practitioners and some sprinters. I can see a lot of improvement in technique even though it doesn’t always reflects in the scores (yet). Peter Stack and Roger Barnes improved the most. Given some time, we’ll see a certain breed of Macq-golfers, easily recognised by a fatalistic attitude towards the fate of putts and a severely delayed celebration for putts that actually stays in…

MADD MACQ’S 001

June 5, 2005 Results and Reports Australian Disc Golf
Our dear (?) friends at Macq Uni, the model plane enthusiasts, probably hit more trees than we did! We have now learned that they are there every weekend from early morning to late afternoon. This forced us to change two holes thus adding to most people’s score. Their efforts to bring one plane down from a tree delayed the start with 15 minutes. If there’s a 1.73 m gap 15 m in front of the tee and there’s a guy in that gap on a ladder balancing a 6 meter fishing rod, you don’t throw. Especially not if his $72.000 4WD is parked next to him…
