Salmo strikes again: Kiefer captures 3rd annual RFA Fling Frolf Tourney

Thin Air Frolf Club, Rossland - John Keifer, Salmo's resident sharp shooter, defeated Buzzsaw (Devon) on the 2nd playoff hole to be crowned this year's Midsummer's Fling champion.  Buzzsaw showed why his BC title was not a fluke by battling back being down 3 strokes to Kiefer with 9 holes to play to force the sudden death playoff.  Fortunately for Keif, Buzz gripped a little tight on his 2nd playoff tee shot and send his ROC out-of-bounds letting John stroll to his first RFA title and local West Kootenay dominance, holding both the Salmo and now Rossland Title Tourney Titles.  Defending champion, Fry, placed 3rd with his usual solid play but was unable to regain the form that gave him the win a year ago.  Peaches and Retallack Phil finished 4th and 5th respectively.  In the NOT SO PRO category Benner walked away with his first title shooting a mind blowing -2 over two rounds.  His consistent play sandwiched him between the "shirtless wonders" who grabbed 2nd and 3rd and stating that shirts are truly optional.  Finally, Tanner captured her 2nd RFA title winning the Ladies category for the 2nd time in 3 years.  She narrowly defeated Corinne who ironically broke up Tanner's time on top winning last year's Fling by only one stroke.  The two gunslinger's showdowns might be coming to an end with Corinne planning a move to the island to study the art of Frolfology under the tutelage of renown Frolf Guru, Hu Kit-far.  Michelle took 3rd for the second year in a row.  The tournament went off with out a hitch and is proving to be a staple event on the Rossland Calender.  The RFA would like to thank all of the this year's sponsors - RossVegas, The Flying Steamshovel, Retallack Cat-Skiing, Ardis at Century 21, Redstone Golf and CC, Adrenaline Adventures and the Prestige Hotel.

Spring Fling

Hey there disc golf fans. We should get the crew together to start planning this year's Spring Fling. Maybe the weekend of Jun. 20-21? Any thoughts?

The Crew Heads to Spokane

A gaggle of Frolfers are heading to Spokane on Easter Weekend to throw some early season plastic. They'll attempt to play the Down River and High Bridge Disc Golf Courses in Rosslandesque fashion. Stay tuned for the write up and pics.
