Good to see some old faces. This is probably the only week I'll make it out. Just a bit of a stretch driving from my office near PDX out to Hillsboro to make it in time.

The weather was slightly cool but dry and there were light winds in the first round. We had 40 players for week two.

Jeff Larson and Michael Trask teamed up for -16 and first place.

There were four CTPs this week. Scott Hill won a Champion Sidewinder donated by Rainy Day Games on hile 1, a Champion TL donated by Kevin Davis on hole 3, and a T-shirt donated by Stumptown Disc Golf on hole 7. Jeff Larson parked hole 5 and won a Larson Suprise (rubber chicken) donated by.....Jeff Larson. No fair, Jeff!

Ben Gookin aced hole 8 with a River and claimed the $38.00 ace pot. Nice job, Ben! Unfortunately, the random ace of the night was hole 6.

The secret score was -14. Two teams picked up coupons for $5.00 off any disc at Rainy Day Games.

Thanks to our sponsors for week 2: Next Adventure, Rainy Day Games, Stumptown Disc Golf, The Chick Flick, Kevin Davis, and Jeff Larson.

Complete week two results and season standings are here.

See you next week!

I will truly miss Tues Twos! Thanks Scott for running it again, if I'm visiting on a Tues I will plan to be there!

And Tuesday Twos will truly miss you too, Jeff.

Fear not, everybody. I have a shopping bag of "Larson Suprises" sitting in my den. Enough to get us through most of the season. Like Jeff, they are.... unique.

Sorry Scott, but no, those are going with me.

A light turnout this week as 26 golfers enjoyed clear skies and breezy conditions. Crist Garcia and Steve Gelhar took first place by shooting -15.

Andrew Nava aced hole 4 with a borrowed Classic Roc (it's his now). He nearly black-aced the same hole (chain out) from #9 teepad. He shared the $24 ace pot with his partner. Andrew also won a Discraft Surge donated by Stumptown Disc Golf by being the closest to the pin on hole 4. Luis Nava had the longest putt of the night on hole 6 and won a DGA Sparkle Rogue donated by Rainy Day Games. Kevin O'Brien won the CTP on hole 7 and took home a Larson Suprise (a set of trick dice).

The Rainy Day Games secret score was -16 and went unclaimed tonight. The Next Adventure random ace was hole 9 and also went unclaimed tonight.

Complete results and season standing can be found here.

Another beautiful week. 39 players had a great time under clear skies. A pretty decent wind in the first half of the round kept the scores from going too low. Dan Luke and Jeff Torrence won a playoff to take the win at -13.

Had great time last night,thanks to Scott for running this great weekly tourney.

[Scott]

Wow. There was some serious hot shooting at Orchard Park this week.

Congratulations to Albert Ricker and Cashly Herman who shot -17 and took home first place. As the first female to be on the winning team this year, Cashly wins a spot in this year's Chick Flick on August 13-14 at Horning's Hideout.

Just how hot was the shooting this week? Last week, -14 down would have won. This week, it was good enough for last cash. Last week, -10 was last cash. This week, -10 would have put you in 17th place. There were only two scores higher than -10 and the highest score of the night was -7. I'd have to go back and look at past years, but those may both be TT records.

Oh yeah, there were some aces, too.
Albert Ricker, Hole 2
Albert Ricker, Hole 9
Chris Graham, Hole 7
James Szlavich, Hole 5

We rolled $37 from last week into this weeks ace pot ($38) for $75. I added $5.00 to make it an easily dividable $80, meaning each ace was worth $20.

CTPS:
Hole 1 - Discraft Hat donated by Craig Nielsen: Randy Hamlin with a Champion Rhino
Hole 3 - Star Monster donated by Rainy Day Games: Zac Beltz with a Whippet
Hole 5 - Discraft Magnet donated by Stumptown Disc Golf: James Szvalich with a Valkyrie
Hole 7 - Larson Suprise (two drink cozies and a package of orange crayons): Chris Graham with a Warlock.

The Rainy Day Games secret score this week was -4 and wasn't claimed.
The Next Adventure random ace hole was hole 4 and wasn't claimed.

A big thanks goes out to our week 6 sponsors: Rainy Day Games, Next Adventure, Stumptown Disc Golf, The Chick Flick, Jeff Larson, and Craig Nielsen.

See you next week!

The hot scores during week 6 got me curious as to exactly how hot they were, so I did a little digging:

Week 6 2011 won't go down in the record books as the hottest shooting week in the history of Tuesday Twos, but it was close.

Week 9, 2010 - There were no scores higher than -10. -10 would have tied you for last place.
Week 10, 2010 - There was only one score higher than -10. Last place was -7.
Week 6, 2010 - There were two scores higher than -10. Last place was -7.
Week 1, 2008. There were several scores higher than -10, but last place was -7 (4 teams).

For fewest scores in the single digits, week 6 2011 ranks 3rd all time.
For the best last place score, week 6 2011 ranks 2nd (3 way tie) all time.

Most of the other weeks were not even close.

Note: There are no online records for the first two years of Tuesday Twos.

To everyone who attended week 6: Nice job! See you next week.

Hole 3: Ben Gookin won a Larson Suprise (a fairy candle holder) donated by Jeff Larson.
