The Felix Castro 3 Disc Challenge

Eight Clock Tower Disc Golf League players waited out the rain last Thursday to participate in The Felix Castro 3 Disc Challenge at Slattery Park in Davenport. Each player's entry fee netted them a specially stamped Discraft driver, mid-range and putter.

Felix and Tom waiting out the storm before getting to pick their discs.

There were two models of drivers to choose from, a Surge (Z Plastic) or a Stalker (CryZtal Plastic). The mid-range discs were Buzzzes in either Z Plastic or CryZtal Plastic. (Any Buzzz is a great mid-range in my opinion.) The putters were Bangers in Pro-D Plastic.

A good time was had by all as most had never thrown either of the disc models except for Felix and I who both use Buzzzes. Thus, the challenge of playing with discs we'd never thrown before. I believe all left with a better understanding of the discs acquired as participants in this challenge.

There are still some Buzzzes, Surges and Stalkers available for purchase. The Credit Union will have a sample of each of the discs available on display. Purchases can be made by contacting Joe Nobiling at 309-794-5671 or visiting me at my desk, if you work at the Clock Tower.

And the winners of the Close To Pin discs are; Shawn Clark, Felix Castro and Jotham Povich! Todd Hazen is on the far left and Yogi Patel is on the far right.
