Spotting while sidelined

Due to elbow/arm issues, decided to not register for any of the five events being held last weekend and instead helped at the event I played last year.


Unlike those at tournament central or the person who moved over a dozen baskets between rounds, I was stationed on #11 all day arriving at 745 in the morning where I could see my breath in the mist and leaving at 445 wearing shorts and one shirt.


A spotter was needed due to eight foot high weeds players need to throw over for these reasons:

To let players know the hole is clear.

To let players know if their drive is in bounds and help them locate their shots.

To warn players at the 7th tee when discs are heading their way which I had to do about ten times total.


Other than checking on FB and the NFL games, kept stats this for round one in the shorter position with OB short, left, and long:

MA3 players: 24 OB 4 (4 short) 1 approach

MA2 players: 24 OB 4 (2 short 2 left) 1 approach

MA1 players: 20 OB 3 (1 left 1 long 1 short)

Total pro players: 23 OB 1 (1 left)

Pro players by definition are those who can earn money as prizes as opposed to credit or merchandise.

For round two, the basket was in a longer position not even on the regular map and the cross sidewalk that was OB for round one was in play for round two:

Those OB:

Rec 3 short 1 conceded (the player chose to throw disc five feet instead of trying to make landing zone not wanting to lose his disc as opposed to his brother who tried to reach it and lost the disc)

Int (1 short)

Adv (2 short)

Pro (2 left 1 short)

The short shots from the advanced and divisions were low into the weeds.
