Wyatt Griffin strolls along in the gully between the woods and the Kiwanis Little League fields as he picks up a few of his discs. Griffin was out on the course early trying out the terrain, distance and deciding which discs might be best for this part of the course.

Giving it all the english he is worth Tim Munchweiler bends backward as he attempts to help his disc get closer to the basket. Benny Serna, left, and Tyler Matney watch with interest.

Gregg Alman thought the best approach to this hole was throwing a disc perpendicular to the ground as far as it would go, unfortunately, tree branches had other ideas. In the background, Aaron Murry studies the terrain and wonders about the fate of his first disc.

After observing disc golfers tee off, it becomes apparent that catching a disc at the moment of release is a most difficult task. Most disc golfers release with such great force one almost doesn't see the disc until it is several feet past the player. With that said, catching Benny Serna's toss on the tenth hole was a great catch.

Paul Dunnigan almost waves his disc closer to the basket on this shot.

Tyler Matney used a heavy putter to sink this one and it worked well.

Tim Munchweiler tosses this disc with a short jab of the wrist and sinks it easily.

Benny Sernalooks as if he might be catching that putter instead of releasing it as he drops a sure one into the 13th hole basket.
