GHEDI FALL 2026

 Another most fun disc golf tournament at Griffin Hill Farm!

Saturday, September 20, 2026

After futzing around learning how to download photos for more than a week, The task for me is trying to figure out how to put them in an accessible file for use in this blog!  Technically challenging!

14 players brought good food!  Great attitudes!  Fun disc playing!

Only one identifiable item was left behind by Biscuit!  He is wearing a sweatshirt that looks remarkably like the one left here.  He is the leading candidate for the next awarding of the Forget Me NOT trophy.

There was also the case of the Easy Rider trophy being left here by Bling... Another candidate?

The crew, when shown to a non attendee was described as Motley.  I will allow the reader an opportunity to confirm this by examining the group photo.

The Scorekeeper came through with a very fine bit of art work, both in the scorecard and with the painting of The EYE.  A new award in honor of Steve Rolling (nickname, The Eye)

This award was not captured by anyone at this event.
One needs to throw an ACE using a forehand throw, which was the Eye's go to throw.

The Scoreboard:

Potluck is a great format!

A mention of the food available would be needed to give the event a tribute to Bacchus. 

Count Ferrari made a great Split Pea soup

B. Eh? made a tremendous seafood bisque

The Past President made a fantastic White Bean Chicken Chili.

Kaal brought a favorite which was bacon wrapped sausage?  YUMM

The guacamole made by Jerry Garcia was to die for!

Multiple foods and snacks with a noteable 4 dozen donuts.  These were a bit over the top and were made to take them home with the bringing folks.  48 donuts for 14 players?  

Photos and Captions:

The photo credit to most go to Coach (20 ish), PK who found a couple, plus a couple in Count Ferrari's phone.

The registration table was not swamped.  BONUS

All sorts of milling about in preparation for heading out
on the course.

GHSDI 2026

 Welcome to the documentation of a great day of disc golf and proper leisure!

The Griffin Hill Solstice Disc Invitational, the GHSDI

Add comments below!

June 20, 2026, 16 hours of daylight for us to fool around in!

The Count (course administrator) was out an about at 7:30 am getting things ready for the day when the first arrivals showed up at the gate at 08:00!  JJ, Kyle, Alex and Aaron.  WTF ??? are they doing here 1.5 hours in front of registration was the thought!  

There was a perfect reason for this. JJ had brought a keg (which he made himself) of his Cosmic Crisp apple cider, 6% alcohol which was contained in a large and heavy ice chest  with all sorts of hoses and other things that made it emerge at the push of a button.  That was an excellent libation to whet the throat all day long!

The weather was perfect (starting at about 68F and going to 74 at the end), as we started the registration at the appointed time, 09:30 and signed up the 25 players.

25 of the best along with Bingo the dog!

The results as captured by the intrepid Scorekeeper, a jewel of a long serving friend!

Note:  Aces were had by Bling (2) and Ben (Kaal or Hoot?) Who split the Ace Pot ($25)

The naked nymph was modeled on Joy, but she had to do a bike ride with a friend having a birthday.

Food was plentiful with the potluck bringing in all sorts of great snacks.  My favorite was the beef barley soup by B. Eh! with some sliced brats added in.  The sweet potato pie was amazing!  Of course there were evil things like fresh donuts by Skat. There was something odd seen below.

sale fun!

Coach looking to add to his own loot or???  See above.

One of the multiple food choices for the Potluck.

During the course clean-up the next day, it was wonderful to see NO LITTER, although there were a couple items left out there...

A pretty full IPA beer waiting to go home.

A lonely disc abandoned
by the horse manure pile.

Notable trophies were awarded and B. Eh! who left the 2nd place trophy at home, won it again but threatened to deliver it to Dragon Hawk, his partner.  TBD

The Forget Me Not trophy was left behind by Coach, who had lost his hat out on the course.

Straight Shooter Shotgun Bubble gun was left behind by Bling (shot 2 Aces and a CTP) but he was mounted on his 'way too fast' motorcycle..

The course was set and ready to go!!  Thanks to B.Eh!, Cajun, and Jerry Garcia. 

 Photos below were mostly courtesy of Garry the Brit!  Apparently those folks born in Britain and named Garry are tagged with the nickname of Gaza!  It was a good day to capture the course with the dramatic clouds adding some fun and lots of dappled sun too!

only cheerleader, with Chainsaw on Tee 3

The Miller, Ron, and the President discuss the added strokes on 
the Stop Sign. Hole 2 and 16

The dreaded Stop Sign.  Hit the sign and put it in the basket
and take off a stroke.  UGH but it is entertaining to watch!
Many added strokes by several players.

Ron, Bling, Autumn on Tee 16

The deep forest.

Chainsaw and Bling messing about after taking a tough shot on the
double gong.  NOTE:  That target added a LOT of strokes as 
IF you hit both on the same throw you take off a stroke.
The reality was added strokes for at least 3-4 players!

location.
