THE AUTUMN AUBERGINE

13th November 2005

On Sunday 13th November 2005, the club held its fourth tournament of the year, the Third Autumn Aubergine.

The day was crisp and clear and the lawn, while a little squidgy underfoot, was eminently playable. There were a few problems with wind but un the whole the conditions were excellent.

The Club welcomed a fine turnout for the second year running for the Aubergine. A number of first time players (Helen, Holly, and Will) showed up as did more families than normal. What a joy it is that the frisbee golf habit is planted in the young! Their keenness for the sport was inspirational for a number of us grizzled veterans. While the dictates of young families meant there were a few dropouts, those that stayed the course scored very well indeed.

James W won the Men's Aubergine and Holly the Women's at her first attempt. We then headed to the Edinburgh Castle, which is fast becoming a favourite destination for the club, and enjoyed an excellent roast lunch.

In all, another smashing tournament, the last official one of the year. But so long as there remains a casualty of the course - an aerobie up a tree on the fourth - there will be frisbee golf on the lawn throughout the winter.

And come February, when the Winter Pineapple rolls around, we expect the club to be supported just as well!
