A big thank you to Ken Pasco for the cool new wine barrel stave benches! A big thank you also goes out to Dave Malo for the new flags on each target! These are crazy times with the nation wide protests & the virus, hope you all are well & hope to see you on the course & don't forget to practice your putting!

Wanted to share a storage solution. If you are going to store your discs for a long period I would suggest looking into a moving & storage company. You get a wooden vault that is stored inside a warehouse this combo works like a controled climate situation. Very important for our precious plastic! Next is cost it is cheaper than a traditional storage unit. The only catch is if you need to get into the vault you are charged each time, long term is the name of the game. Using flattened boxes between plastic tubs when stacking distributes the weight & you can go higher than you normally would. Hope you all are well during this crazy time!

Like everyone we are holed up waiting out the virus! Great time to be on this diet, we have our food product & all you do is add water! Our barn project is on hold but the roof & siding is all done! I walk the dog each day, I ride my road bike & I get out to the park to play disc! Many of the courses near by are closed but Skyline is open! Thank God! I have been practicing my guitar & writing some sappy lyrics, even got down some cool riffs! I am playing with Pro Tools too! Overall it is fine being home, we have lots of open space & stuff to do, lots of tea drinking & card playing! Keeping our adult kids safe & us safe is the biggest challenge. They are board & want everything equal, sometimes life is not fair! I look forward to us getting through this & being empty nesters once again!

My course went in in 1995 well 98 at it current location. Skyline Park in Napa California is a special place for me to go! I got out last Tuesday about 11am, I was looking for other players but after a good warm up I started up the hill to the course. After waiting on hole 1 for a while I started. Blue sky, green grass, flowers in bloom, birds singing, it was a great round. I played through & did not see any other golfers not even on the walk back to the parking lot. With all the people playing the game these days I wonder if others around the country get out & have the course all to themselves? There are a lot of things that go into making our game great, tell a friend!

Mustard in the vines! This is a photo taken by Chris White 10 years ago, We took many photos at Stag's Leap, yea the hand drawn 16 is a little weak but the flowers, WOW! We did get a great shot for our full color disc. ( not showing the # )This is the first year there will be no full color disc since picture discs became a thing going back to 2005 for our event. Vintage Cup is in its 26th year, makes me proud! I hope to get out & compete, no excuses but I sprained 3 toes stepping in a hole at the beach playing catch with a disc. I have one week to get better but as of now I am limping! It is always a fun event, at the least It will be good to make the scene. I hope the event can be 2 weekends again sometime in the future, so many people want to play this event, the wait list is long. Weather looks to be good for next weekend. We tend to have wet or windy conditions most years. Great game, great people = a great time!

My partner of the last 32 years, Lisa, PDGA # 13268, The gal can do anything. She is a big part of the dream to bring Disc Golf to Napa back in 1995, she was my co TD the first 10 years of Vintage Cup, without all the details, she is my better half. I was out at Skyline today playing & I was introduced as the course designer to some new players & it was a great feeling & none of it would have happened without my honey! I love you!

Collecting plastic has been a topic of conversation for me for a long time now, It all started because of the game we call golf, ( Disc Golf ) like Dr. Stancil says " There could be a better name " I realise that almost everything I do, it is for life, my relationship with my wife Lisa is first on that list! I was out last weekend snowboarding with my kids & my grandkids, very cool to share board sports with them all, skate, wake & snow, never did get the hang of surfing but I love me boogie boarding, my wave baby! Music has been a big part of my life there last 10 years, playing a new years eve gig is every musicians goal, well tomorrow I get to do that! For those that don't know I am building a music recording studio, should be up & going late spring, I plan on modeling my space after the all inclusive family love I have felt with my frisbee family, come one come all, lets make some music. I must admit it should be a little more easy, a day in the studio compared to a day on the hill! Put your glove on!

Seems people avoid the rain, In Northern California with no rain of over 6 months & the fire danger going into November you still get people that think " can't wait till spring"! I like being in the rain! Good thing because our local after Thanksgiving tournament was a wet one. My doubles partner is my boy Ryan # 19457, we played well in the rain & were leading the 36 hole one day event until the 3rd to last hole. The wind took its toll, we both threw out of bounds off the tee & on our upshot on that second island hole for a 7PP, that was just enough to drop us to 3rd at the end of the day, lesson learned, I need a gator in my bag! Funny thing was we missed all the short easy holes but made some killer shots on some long ones, should have would have, if it's raining..... see you on the course!

Once again I show up at a course I have never been to & my Frisbee family does not disappoint, I am welcome at the weekly, just a bunch of cool heads, ya got to love this game!
