Hello everyone and welcome to the 2025 Tim Solinsky US Masters Championships presented by INA Disc. This is a PDGA Majors and we are at Moon Mountain, Sammy Joea. We have Liz Torque from Los Cusus, myself, Jennifer Allen from Arizona and Sandy Hindle rounding out our feature card from St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada. This is round one, the front nine, Moon Mountain Disc Golf Course in beautiful Rioesso, New Mexico. We are on hole one. The distance is 325 ft par 3. Yeah, this is a straight uphill shot. Narrow fairway. There is only two holes on this course I think that have OB. This being one of them. You can see it there along the road on the left. Really only comes in play towards the basket. This is Sammy Joe from Colorado Springs. Second on the box here is Liz Tor. Liz is from Los Cusus, New Mexico. Just moved there.

They're like, "Welcome to the mountains here." Awesome putt by Sammy Joe. I'm going to tap in an unfortunate bogey. But Sandy with the tap in par alongside Sammy. And then Liz also going to tap in the bogey there. Pole two. We have a 433 foot par three. Yeah, this...
