Slappy's Revenge and Other Thoughts

If there are any minor mistakes in the paper this past Sunday, cut me a little slack.
Anyone that was at the North game Friday night that had any plans on Saturday were probably as half-asleep as I was writing my column in the paper.
Here are two excerpts from it: the full column is online at www.thesnaponline.com!

- One of the SNAP’s newest sports correspondents, Brooke Whitley, wanted to pass along some great news that was announced at the West game last night.
Quan Sturdivant has made the cut for the Arizona Cardinals and will be on the 53-man roster when the Cards host the Carolina Panthers next Sunday.
I have known Quan through his exploits on the West Stanly athletic fields over the years; he is a good young man and will be a great example for Stanly County in the professional sports ranks.
- The Albemarle Disc Golf Association is holding their annual major championship this coming Saturday at Fox Chase Golf Course in Albemarle, located at Chuck Morehead Park.
It’s called “Slappy’s Revenge,” which is an ode to this certain sound that you hear while playing the game, more so if you are not good at it, like me.
When a thrown disc hits a tree, it makes this “thwack” sound like someone being slapped, hence the name of it.
There are various divisions at the tournament, including a pro division.
I understand that Cameron Todd, a pro disc golfer that earned a world championship in 2001, has registered to play in the tournament.
The ADGA has regular club tournaments on the second Saturday of every month, including the Ice Bowl charity event in the winter months.
