Hot weather greeted participants in the fifth annual Sandy Beach Disc Golf Tournament.
The event at the Good Spirit Lake resort saw 43 disc golfers on course for a ‘shotgun start’ with participants eager to try out the recently installed MVP disc golf baskets.
When the opening 18 had been played, thanks to a couple of ties on the cards six disc golfers went out for a ‘championship nine’.
When the last disc had been thrown Mark Kienle of Wadena was the champion with a score of 81, or minus four.
Jeremy Taylor of Saskatoon was second at 86, Jason Kienle of Yorkton third with 90, Duncan Andrew of Broadview and Adam Kienle of Yorkton tied with 91, and Aaron Kienle of Yorkton rounding out the sextet at 95.
Mark Kienle had the longest drive among the men, with Ayden Heibert of Yorkton topping the longest drive among the women.
It was a husband and wife combo from Earl Grey, SK., playing on their wedding anniversary taking the two sides of the closest-to-the-pin competition. Kristen Schmidt topped the ladies, with hubby Tom best among the men.
