Egg - cellent Time had by Participants at Spring Fling Disc Golf Tournament
By Joseph Falin, Programs & Facilities Manager, Orange County Parks & Recreation
On Saturday, April 20, 2024, Orange County Parks & Recreation held its 4th annual Spring Fling Disc Golf Tournament, Sponsored by Dynamic Discs, at the Orange County Disc Golf Course with 32 participants. The weather was beautiful and the competition was fierce! Placement in each of the six second - round flights was determined by player scores during the first round of play. Before starting the second round, each player had an opportunity to purchase a “ bonus egg ” which contained an advantage for the player to use during the second round. These advantages did not always lead to improved scores; knowing the proper time to use your advantage was part of the battle.
A very tight race unfolded in our Second Flight, which required our top four finishers to participate in a tie breaking “ throw - off ” to determine the final standings. However, our Championship Flight was not as tightly contested. In the end, the overall winner of the tournament for the third year in a row was Caleb Roberts - who shot a two - round total of 83 ( - 27).
Caleb finished six shots ahead of our second - place finisher Rich Hancock who shot a two - round total of 89 ( - 21). This is Caleb ’ s 11th overall championship in the 14 Orange County Parks & Recreation activities in which he ’ s participated! Our next disc golf - related activity will be the six - week - long “ Would Chuck Disc Golf League. ” This league begins the week of May 14 and continues through the week of June 19. This year we will offer two separate leagues: the Open League and the 50 & Over League. Our Open League will be held every Tuesday beginning May 14 and the 50 & Over League will be every Wednesday beginning May 15. Both the Open and 50 & Over Leagues will be held at the Orange County Disc Golf Course beginning at 6:00 p.m. Pre - registration is required and may still be available depending on participant numbers.
