Senor Shanks and the Peanut Butter Pirate had ample reason to celebrate over the July 4th weekend...Armed with a spirit of adventure akin to Lewis and Clark, the two intrepid discers headed down to the pastorale hamlet that is Spotsylvania Va for some wicked disc on what may be one of, if not the best disc package around: The Grange.
What’s the Grange? A stellar combo of three privately owned courses, two of which are current PDGA Supertour sites and recently held the Viriginia Open. The third is a fun little ditty of a “Pitch and Putt”--The Tiki Course; complete with wacky sculptural adornments and Christmas tree lights for late night gambling rounds...
The Grange is: A true disc paradise with artfully crafted and challenging holes including hills, valleys, sand traps, ponds, wildflower gardens, putting in a horse corral... A Mach III challenge that begs to be played...A mega chill-out for disc fanatics only complete with a Disc Store Truck, fridge for your muchies, free range birds, barns with old arcade games, and two rockin’ courses: The Dark Side and the Sunny Side. "
I’ll give you an idea of what Mike Trapasso and his family have to offer you...Tight fairways, excellent pin placements, truly outrageous rough, neither long nor short, no crowds--only discers who call ahead and ask to play... Shanks and moi played respectably with RS closing out the day with a +7 and GB with a +17...Excellent play, great company, and our own set of pro courses for the day...Needless to say, I’m inspired. After my loss to Saito ( he played an excellent round, I did not) I was forlorn, but alas, I return! A new member of the Blue Ridge Disc Golf Club, ready to play, I glady welcome any to Charlottesville for a round at Walnut Creek, or a noble crusade to a former Deadhead’s disc paradise: The Grange. As an aside, Shanks and I hit Burke on Monday July 3rd and throwing from the pro tees I threw a +2 and Shanks -2...excellent disc. Peace and gentle hyzers..." Below, a pic of your narrator, Greg:
