Whew! Worlds is finally over. I hope everyone enjoyed Mark Ellis' and my updates. We tried hard to bring everyone some flavor to add to the cold hard numbers of the scores.

The Winnicrew didn't perform quite the way we had hoped to, but hey, I guess we didn't do too bad. It was tough out there. I did, however, earn the right to be a World Champion at something... putting! Dave was second. Avery was 4th.

After the awards ceremony ended we hit the road and tried to make it to Indiana for their State Championships the following morning, but ran into some fuel problems about halfway there. After a lot of tinkering and more than a couple mouthfuls of nasty unleaded gasoline, I finally found the problem; a wire short in the tank selector switch. I performed a quick fix but it was too late to get us to the tournament on time. We stopped off at an outlet mall and did a bit of shopping on our way back to Kalamazoo.

I borrowed my mom's car and drove Linda the 500 miles back to St. Louis and spent a couple days there with her. We mostly relaxed and unwound after our two weeks together on the road. We said our goodbyes and I drove back to Kzoo. I'll see you at the end of the season Linda. The time will fly by.... trust me.

After the long drive back home I spent another day recuperating, then Avery and I did some re-organization of the Winnie and spent some time meeting with Brian Sullivan. Dave was in Grand Rapids for a couple days attending and standing in a wedding. On Sunday morning we drove out to Detroit for an MDGO B-Tier, showing up just as the 'bring it in' horn was sounding. We hadn't thrown any golf discs for a week and just sort of rolled out of the car and jumped right into a tournament. I took 4th, Avery 6th, and Dave was 9th. Scott Martin won. We drove back to Kzoo and spent another day resting. Next we head off to the Rumbletown Open in Milwaukee. It's their first time being a SuperTour and I understand that Harley Davidson is a major tournament sponsor... should be interesting. Barry Schultz will be there, fresh off his gold medal performance at the World games in Akita, Japan.

Tune in next time...
