FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — FSJ Disc Sports Club’s second ‘league night’ went as planned on Wednesday, June 4th after last week’s Thursday ‘club night’ was cancelled due to high winds.

The round took place at the Toboggan Hill course in Toboggan Hill Park, with the overall lead being shared by two after 18 holes: Patrick Turner and Quinton Nadeau with a score of seven under par.

Following a one-hole closest to the pin tiebreaker, Turner took the victory. It was described as a “good round” by FSJ Disc Sports Club’s president Steven Ford, who had to settle for third place.

Ford described the round as “a good opportunity” in talking with Energeticcity.ca. 

“It was good,” said Ford. “We had a few guys come out.  Some of the guys pitched in the ace spot. I had a couple of close calls.”

Turner has been playing with the club since its inception in 2016. On the strength of three birdies throughout the round,  he went toe-to-toe with Nadeau, whose up-and-down round was marred by inconsistency on the back nine, including five bogeys and two double bogeys.

“Patrick and Quinton both have a great round for themselves and how they usually play day-to day,” said Ford. “They’re always getting better.”
The next league night will take place on Wednesday, June 11th. More information about the FSJ Disc Sports Club is available on its Facebook page.
