I play Disc Golf, and enjoy it a great deal. I also enjoy photography, and have a camera with me most of the time. Sunday just gone saw the 2015 Chick Flick (a tournament focussing on female players) here in Perth, held at the Rob Hancock Memorial course, and I decided to concentrate on recording the event, rather than playing. Although the name and entry classifications are rather jokey ("Chicks", "Not Chicks", and "Not Chicks Dressed as Chicks"), actual play is pretty darn intense, and scoring divisions were split along more traditional lines, with Women's Open and Advanced, and Men's Open, Advanced, and Rec divisions. Play was two rounds of 12, followed by a final 6 for the top-card Women's Open players. We had 11 women playing - which was a great turnout, given the quite small size of the Perth disc golfing community. As you can see from the photos, conditions were ... challenging, to say the least, with gusts over 50km/h and pounding rain...
This is so much more interesting than what "Stupid Republican Candidate Said This Week," which is all our TV news has consisted of for about 3 months now. :( I didn't even know that Australia was having a lot of refugees come in.
ReplyDeleteCrystal, that is a part of it - the actual numbers we are talking about are tiny, by comparison to the routinely processed refugee intake!
ReplyDeleteProportionally, we don't have a lot of refugees coming in, but like in all countries they are the target for lowest common denominator politics and media interests
ReplyDeleteTT doing scaremongering, sensationalist drivel? Who'd have thought?
