Peaches runs away with "Spring Fling"

Black Jack F&CC, Rossland, BC - On a cool, yet sunny Sunday morning Peaches put together 2 solid rounds of frolf and ran away with the RFA's first tournament of the year capturing the Spring Fling title and $20. Rounds of -6 and -5 were more than enough to take the title ahead of long time rival and President's Cup team mate Fry. Fry struggled off the tee during the second round, posting a respectable -4 but coming up 4 strokes shy of the Peach overall. "He was solid in all aspects of his game. Putting, mid-range and off the Tee, Peach put together 2 tight rounds of frolf." said Fry when asked of the newcomers dominance. "I felt good" said Peach "everything was clicking, the putter was decent and the mid-range and drives kept me in birdie range all day." This was a bitter sweet victory for Peaches after coming in 2nd behind Fry in last year's season ending "Masters" held at the Campground Frolf course. "I worked extremely hard prior to the tournament making sure that I had the endurance to last 2 rounds" Peach replied after being questioned on his unravelling at last year's Masters. "Lifting, jogging and yoga are a daily routine for me since the breakdown." Taking third position was Hollywood Frolfer Orion shooting 3 rounds of EVEN frolf. 3 frolfers were EVEN after round 1 with only Orion able to maintain his 1st round score. Chunk challenged early in the 2nd round but bogies on 9, 10 and 12 shut his comeback down. "I felt great coming into the tourney, beating most of my rivals in head to head play prior to the tournament but couldn't get the disc rolling today." Chunk said that he's not to be counted out in the future but that Sunday was just not his day. Bash, Benner, Knobber, Haorld and Tanner all finished above par and never really challenged. Tanner took the female side of the tournament playing extremely well on the first round but paired up with Harry, Benner and Bash in the 2nd round seemed to rattle the female #1 and she ballooned to a +13. "I was throwing the disc well but just couldn't finish" said Tanner "my score is a little exaggerated as I lost focus after doubling #9 and realized that catching Harry was not a possibility today." Tanner vows to be in the mix at the next event. The next tournament is a match play event that will showcase the head to head play of Geezie and Tucker who were absent from the Fling but will be ready in June for the Rossland Frolf Match Play event.
