of Santa Cruz River Disc Golf Course

After dropping off my friends, Teague and Steve, at the San Francisco Airport, I shot east overnight to Arizona and made it to Tucson, Arizona around midday to stay for awhile with my friend, Dan Woulf, and his parents, Dale and Jana. The Woulfs showed me the warmest of hospitality, and I am forever in their debt. Dan and I worked together in Seattle, before we both moved away. Dan and his parents are starting a Papa Murphy’s Restaurant and are relocating to Prescott. I look forward to visiting them again sometime soon.

While in Tucson, Dan and I played a couple of courses, but only one of them is worth mention, the Santa Cruz River Course. Since it is basically in the desert, the Santa Cruz River is subterrainian and all that is visible during the dry season is the dry river bed. The course is fairly flat, but the wind and Mesquite provide plenty of challenge. Watch out for going too far left or right, however. Dan had to climb down into the riverbed after a slice that the wind caught, and I tore the life out of a new cowboy snap shirt chasing a disc that hooked over a fence. What can I say? The Disc Golf Gods often demand sacrifice, but it is most always worth it.
