Having missed last year's inaugural Flippin' Ze Disc I was psyched to be able to make it out to Wenatchee for the 2010 version of what is sure to be a classic event for years to come. Todd and Kevin, along with many others I'm sure, put together a great event on two temp courses with wildly different personalities. I felt really comfortable playing the woodsy Mt. course on Saturday and it seemed like almost every shot was just coming out of my hand so cleanly. I had a new ginormous umbrella which kept me nice a dry during the round and the putts just kept falling in. Sunday's round at Lincoln rock started off with a slightly scary shot over the water and then played through 27 holes of either lush manicured grass or rocky, dry, desert like terrain. Moderate winds made disc selection a little tricky at times. The 50 foot x half mile fairway along the top of the park was interesting, about 6 holes were placed up there. A dead straight line of large, well established trees with trunks about 15-20 feet apart ran down the entire length of the grassy strip which was bordered by a paved, OB road. Varied hole lengths and basket placements (including a high, hanging basket) made for some tricky up shots. I thoroughly enjoyed playing both courses and it would be really cool to see them get permanently installed in one form or another.

Thanks again to the Wenatchee/Levenworth/Cashmere crew that put this whole thing together. The courses were awesome and all the little details like custom designed tourney scorecards, banners, tee signs and discs made Flippin' Ze Disc a really special event. Beyond that, all I can say is that the payout was off the hook and just goes to show what can be done when the local community comes out a supports a tournament like this. Huge props to all the donors!

I hope you guys decide to do it all again next year! Cheers, EE
