"Musta Been" a "Helluva" BBQ


Well, yes it was a "Helluva" BBQ

Peterborough Road Trip "Musta Been" Challenge


Since Swanny's recent migration to the countryside it's been a little difficult getting the Helluva Drivers together but today we managed to gather Swan, Wow and Wade "Hawkman" Jackson to test the "mighty" Otonabee 9 hole circuit. The lads shot 36 holes and after an omenous opening hole 5, the recently on fire Mr. Jackson started to sparkle again. Shooting 6 birdies on the first 18 for a score of 52 (two under par) Wade set the stage for the day. Last year's Most Improved player could very well take that title again, as his play continues to progress, while the oldtimers Wow and Swan seem stuck in a time warp. Scores of 52 (Wade), 56 (Swan) and 63 (Wow) were tweaked to reflect Helluva Drive accepted numbers, so an intricate levelling formula was created where 14 strokes would be added to enable the stats to count in this years standings. On the second round Wade proved he had some simply human qualities and shot an earthly 57, nudging out Swanny's 58 and WowWow McWowerstein's 60. Bevies were kept in check as there was still a drive back for Marty and Wade, and a post round BBQ featured a heap of meat that seemed endless.
The Helluva Drivers head into the Summer season with a tight race atop the leader board. Here's the scores from the Peterborough Riverview Park rounds of June 12th.

Wade Jackson: No More Mr. Nice Guy

Aliens have kidnapped Wade Jackson and replaced him with a Disc Golf Superhero known as "Hawkman". Once an enjoyable golf companion, now a technically precise, emotionless machine. The "new" Wade put on a driving clinic featuring his recently purchased "Hawk" and time and time again threw it long and straight on a breezy Sunday outing and eventually scored a personal best of 70. "Hawkman", Sparky and Swanny played with Peterborough guests Dave Gillett and wife Roxanne in the first round. Dave took honours with an impressive newcomer score 0f 72, while the Helluva Drivers all scored 74. While Dave and Roxanne had to catch an early ferry, the boys carried on with scores of 70 for The Alien and 75 and 78 for Swanny and Sparky respectively. Water was a feature for many of the fellas, and Swanny scored a snowman on the long dogleg 8th but made amends later with a "monster" 100 foot par shot on the 12th , measured off by Super Wade. A good time was had by all. All that was missing was Wow Wow, 6 Stellas and a floating Hydra.
