MADD MACQ’S 002

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…

Next time Luke and I will bring our portable metal baskets (M14, fancy name, he?), reportedly said to be quite good. That will probably bring down every score with one or two strokes. Then staying out of water will save you yet another few strokes…. So, there are a lot of things to look forward to. They might have removed the stinking pile of mud and turned the fountain on again. I wonder about the woodchips on hole 15 – gone or a full size mountain?

We had 2 USO-players this time, Toby and Peter, whom we envy since their putts “only” have to hit to count. Bring more of your Ultie-friends! From Chicago via New Zealand with Ultimate disc in hand came Hector Rivera-Melo and was persuaded to join the leader group towards the end of the last round, just to try it out. So he did. Holding a golf disc for the first time, he played the last 6 holes with only one boogie. Barefoot!

Next time, I don’t think we need to persuade him to join the leader group….
