Battling a common cold and the city’s top disc golf players failed to faze Dan Reimer Saturday.

The 56-year-old shot rounds of minus-5 and minus-6 to finish 11-under on the day, good enough to win him the title of champion.

“Despite being a little sick, I think it kind of helped me a little bit,” Reimer admitted. “I really, really had to focus, so every shot it was either focus, or totally lose it.

“I was just able to focus and shot my best game ever at Mount Mac from the tournament tees,” he said. “I crack it up to being a little bit sick. It was kind of a cool experience.”

Finishing behind Reimer in second place was Jesse Devost, who finished the day at 6-under.

Juneau’s Jim Foster finished third at plus-1 while defending champion Richard Vladars was plus-5 in fourth.

The second annual Whitehorse Two-Course Disc Golf Tournament saw 20 competitors participate in two divisions.

Noel Sinclair took the amateur division with a combined score of 2-under, followed by Marc Senecal at plus-8 and Fred Blaker at plus-16.

Amateurs shot from the white tees, while the pro players shot from the more-lengthy reds.

Players compete with a variety of discs in their arsenal, each of which has altered weight and flight patterns.

The tournaments were held back-to-back, beginning at the Mount McIntyre course at noon followed by a 3 p.m. tee-off at the Takhini North course – built four years ago by Reimer and tournament co-organizer Vladars.

Shooting bogey-free golf was Reimer’s plan going into the tournament, which he also organizes.

“If you can stay away from the bogeys, usually good things come,” he said. “And don’t try to kill anything. If I had been feeling really good, I would probably have tried to kill stuff. So I just kind of played conservatively and within my limits ... and I finished almost completely bogey-free.”

Reimer and Sinclair were the only two players to complete the first tournament below par, with both players finishing at minus-5 on the par-56 course.

“I really won the tournament at Mount Mac by shooting a really solid round,” Reimer said. “It was an insurmountable lead that I’d built up.”

Reimer and Devost went on to shoot minus-6 on the par-61 course in Takhini North, while Foster and Senecal both finished it at even-par.

Senecal’s score was helped by a hole-in-one on hole seven. The shot served no monetary value however, as the amateur hadn’t entered the ace pot.

Foster eventually won the pot via a throw-off.

Fifth-place pro division finisher Alan Hill won the closest to the pin contest with his throw on hole 18 at Mount McIntyre, while fellow pro player Scott Hailer won the honour on the final hole at Takhini North.

Jamie Cowan won the farthest throw contest.

The event was sponsored by Yukon Brewing, Icycle Sports and Sports Experts, and included refreshments alongside monetary prizes.

Reimer took home $150 alongside the title of champion.

The two-course tournament featured regular players from the local disc golf league, which gathers Tuesday evenings to play at Mount McIntyre, as well as newcomers.

“I go regularly,” said Reimer. “It’s part of my fitness routine. It’s a nice down time with focus. It’s a really good bunch of guys and I just really like it a lot.”

League competition will continue until the snow flies.
