Opposite Hand Opposite Grip Long Drive Contest
My personal favorite fun new thing to try.
It is exactly as it sounds - if you normally throw right-hand-back-hand, you're gonna throw for distance left-hand-fore-hand. It is funnier to watch than a dizzy distance competition and the discs don't go nearly as far.
Not exactly sure what the prize is going to be yet, rest assured it will be something cool.
Lunch
As usual FREE LUNCH!
Planning a good old fashioned coon @ss fish fry..
