Newaygo Scouting Report

Me and the Missus drove up to Newaygo this beautiful sunny afternoon to give the Newaygo State Park disc golf course a look-see. Deceptively easy looking at first, but gradually gets more challenging as the course progresses. Tight and technical, but not ridiculously so, the course is scenic and well manicured, and runs along the lake at several points. The course meanders around several campsites, so it would be a nice camping/disc golf destination, and may introduce new players to the game (wouldn't it be nice, Terri was saying today, if all Michigan state parks installed a disc golf course like this? - hey, I'd pay for the yearly pass if they did). We both started out fairly nice with several pars and bogies, but eventually the course got the better of us as the technical challenges manifested themselves, and several double and triple bogeys became more the norm. We ended up tying the game on the very last hole, when I had a two stroke lead, and then blew it on a triple bogey, while Terri played the rather difficult hole well, and kept to a single bogey. Nice new baskets, nice big cement tee pads, lots of signage, and pointers to the next holes. Would definitely come back here again (close enough to Fremont to hit both in one day).
