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...
I only just noticed that this coincides with the Mandurah Ironman. While that may add to the photo opportunities it will cause a transport nightmare.

Thanks for the heads up, Peter Roehrig! Given the timing, it is unlikely to mess with public transport around that time, but I may have to revise my plan of Hall Park and the ANZAC Memorial. Fortunately there are lots of other options!
ReplyDelete7:22 train from Perth Underground will get you to the meeting point by 8:15.
Rob Masters Trains should be fine (perhaps a bit fuller than usual to get spectators there and away), but buses in and around Mandurah are affected all morning. Details are here: http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/Service-Updates/Service-Update-Details/major-disruptions-to-mandurah-bus-services-6046
