Welcome to the Club (Throwers Club, That Is)
September 9th, 2010 by cstarkClub-throwing was a topic of discussion in our office on Thursday. Staff writer Nathan Joyce evidently let go with a pretty good toss during a nine-hole outing at Rolling Hills with a couple of our staffers — designer Adam Kispert and fellow writer Jeff Graham. They were playing with Belfair’s Wayne Tachell, a regular caller to our sports desk.
Anyway, the topic was club throws. In my younger days, I once lost my 3-iron in the pond at Gold Mountain’s Cascade Course. It was a heckuva throw. I marched right into the pond in search of it. Never found it.
The Crowfessional Golf Tour once held a club-throwing contest at Belfair State Park. It turned dangerous when the clubs started acting like boomerangs and started sailing back into the crowd of people who were watching.
So it was interesting to come across this video while searching the University of Washington Website. I think you’ll get a kick out of coach Matt Thurmond and former Husky star James Lepp. The Husky Invitational, by the way, is being held at Washington National this year.
