He continues to defy the odds of the sport.
Joseph won his division in another disc golf tournament! He has now played in 3, and won twice.
Also, he hit his FIFTH ACE! That's five holes-in-one on one course in eighteen months. Not normal!
He needs to move up a division for tournaments and practice at a tougher course, because he is apparently not being challenged enough.
Way to go, freakish athletic anomaly that you are, Joseph!

ACE!
Joseph shot a hole-in-one today! It was on hole #2 at Burnet. He had two witnesses to sign the disc and pay him the $5 that every witness owes the hole-in-one shooter (per disc golf code). Then he signed and dated the cage.
This is the third time that Joseph has shot a hole-in-one. The first time was on hole #7 at Burnet on Friday, June 13, 2008. Today is Friday, February 13, 2009. That is CRAZINESS, folks, craziness!
Thirteen is his lucky/favorite number. Apparently so. He is pretty thrilled with himself today. :)
Way to go, Joseph!
(I will get a photo of the basket and disc when I'm there on Tuesday)

Disc Golfing all Afternoon
We spent the afternoon in Burnet with the dogs on the disc golf course. I walked with the dogs while Joseph played 36 holes. It was really windy today, but otherwise sunny and beautiful. The wind made for some difficult play for Joseph at times, but he continued to impress me with his skill, control, aim and technique with various discs and throws. The dogs had a blast, running around in the woods for 2 hours is their idea of a good afternoon. They even got to see cows face to face! I was happy to spend time with Joseph, get the dogs out of the yard, have everyone get exercise and enjoy the sunshine for the first time in a while. I like days like today.
Cooper loves to ride with his head out the window. Who doesn't?
They walked with us for a while. Then something else caught their attention!

Big Black Cows!
Marshall was super interested in the cows. He got right up to the fence and stared intently. I had to keep Cooper on a leash near the cows because he would have jumped the fence and let his cowdog instincts take over. Chasing cattle will also get a dog shot in Texas! After a couple of minutes the cows noticed Marshall, and they were all quite intrigued by the little fluffy cow on the other side of the fence. I'm glad I had my camera.
The wind made play a little difficult. And Joseph didn't appreciate that I took these pictures of him retrieving his discs. It's all part of the game though. :)
He made some awesome shots, and played well overall. I got a few good photos of him putting. He made both these shots, if you can't quite see.

Disc Golf League
After falling in the love with the sport of Disc Golf this spring, Joseph found and joined a Disc Golf Country Club, so that he could play in the Sunday League they hosted.
Today was the first week of a 10 week league. Joseph has been really pleased with his disc golf game recently, so he was feeling fairly confident (not something he usually lacks) heading out there this afternoon.
Turns out, like usual, he had plenty of reason to be confident. Not only was he inches away from hitting a $500 hole-in-one, but he won his division, beat the toughest competitor's best score and was told he should go pro.
I think he made a few friends too. The Dodgers came back from a 5 point deficit in the 9th inning to win by 1! And I made barbequed ribs and bacon macaroni and cheese and "Sizzler Bread"* for dinner. This day ranks up there amongst the top for my Happy Higley.
While Joseph golfed, I slept all afternoon on our huge soft couch.
Happy Sunday!
* Sizzler Bread, another recipe from Chris' restaurant recipe disc, is Joseph's new favorite. It's kind of like crack. It's equal parts soft butter and grated parmesan on Italian bread, cooked cheese side down on a hot griddle. Tastes like giant Cheez-Its!
