Some live internet talk show. Some of the action also went out live over the internet. Scoring was also live on-line.
Sarah interviewed by ESPN.com. She got a small mention when the article appeared on-line the next day.
9th hole. It sucks. O.B. (out of bounds) everywhere. Be careful!
Elaine, from Toronto, actually went in up to her neck to retrieve a sunken disc.
Sarah made in-bounds by a hair. Can you see yellow line marking O.B.?
14th hole. Fairly easy unless you go too far right.
Val shooting on 17th. It has a wicked right turn half way up the slope. If you make it past the trees, i.e., the turn, you have a straight-in. Otherwise, another shot just to get out into the open for your approach.
Picture after traditional hi-fives before the 18th hole.
Leader-board lady.
Sarah on 18th.
