Peterborough... or Peter"birdie"


All it took was a couple days for Swanny and Wade to get a handle on the Riverview Park Disc Golf Course in scenic Peterborough. Day One offered blue skies but gusty, unpredictable winds which kept the scores in check. The local rule is to call all 9 holes on this short course par 3's and the fellas threw low to mid 60's over 18 holes while learning the lay of the track. A low 9 hole score of 29 was entered by "W", while Swanny managed a couple birdies but still failed to break 30 over 9. That evening over a few Guinness the Helluva Drivers figured the next day would yield much better scores, as the long hole experience gained from numerous Toronto Island rounds should make a short course highly manageable under the right conditions. The following day the Disc Golf Gods would comply.
Day Two featured little wind with some cloud cover. With the course to themselves Wade and Swanny dialed their games in and started throwing with authority. On the first 18 Wade sank an unbelievable 4 birdies, nailing the 7th on the first 9, then the 1st, 3rd and 9th on the back to end up with a phenomenal (and surely the mark to beat for awhile) 56. Swanny countered with 3 birdies of his own, on the 7th first time around, then the 2nd and 4th, finishing one off Wade's pace with 57. Another round of 18 produced scores of 58 for Swan (3 more birdies) and 59 for Wade. As the arms were tiring 9 holes more and three more birds, the boys had had enough.
A day for the books. Here are the numbers:
