I finally made it to Alaska! Melody and I just got back from the Alaska State Championships in Anchorage, Alaska. They say everything is bigger in Texas, but i think they meant Alaska. Our hosts were Jamie Adams and John Loritzen (two time and defending Alaska state champion). They treated us like one of there own family. The sun never really went down which really played tricks on my time management. I would be out practicing in the sunshine and check my phone and it would be like 11:30 pm. It was tough to sleep. The course was beautiful and tough. The  views of Cook inlet from many holes were epic and breathtaking. Talk about rough, Alaska may have the worst i have ever seen. If you were off the fairway and did not see it land, it was lost. If you did see exactly were it landed, it still took ten minutes to find your disc.  I did see moose on the course but no bear... man moose  are huge!
I opened up the event with the course record 57 the first round and never looked back. I played well and won by 13 over Chandler Fry who is getting better all the time. The best Alaskan finish was Chuck D., he will be heading to the usgdc representing Alaska. Melody played mens advanced since there are not any pro women in alaska yet.  She played well  scaring the advanced men taking third and showing those men that a women can take them down! Good job honey. Everyone in Alaska was super cool and fun to hang with, for sure.
I think the highlight of the trip was on monday when John L and Chuck D took us to Kenai on a fishing boat charter with captain Dan.  Dan took us out deep sea halibut fishing. Melody caught the biggest fish over 30 pounds. We caught over ten each! Our limit is only two each so we picked the biggest four and captain dan cleaned, vacuum sealed,packaged, and froze them. We came home with 40 pounds of fresh halibut steaks we caught. We finished the trip by trolling for king salmon. No bites, just a couple of greenlings took our bait. The experience was awesome, thanks again captain Dan, you are a real pro.
I hope they invite us back to Alaska next year, because it is a blast. Only one state left to conquer (Hawaii).
We are off to Ohio to play in the Jenkins family event. Hope to see you somewhere this summer!
