Aaron played in the Treasure Cove Classic disc golf tournament on Saturday held at the beautiful campus of Iowa Western Community College.
Hosted by one of the best in the biz, Mike, the tournament boasted some difficult shots but promised a great layout and hefty prize package.
The morning began at 9am.
There were 15 professional players in the Open Division. After round one Aaron was tied with Travis Blase for first place at 55*.
As soon as the first round scores were posted online, members of Aaron's online disc community replied,
"Go Brooker! " and "Congrats Aaron. Some amazing shots I'm sure."
After lunch round two began.
Aaron was strong from the start, but a couple less than perfect shots allowed Blase to pull ahead.
"I tried to put some pressure on Blase the second round, but that guy had no chinks in his armor" Aaron said.
The tournament finished around 5:00 pm (long day, huh?). One by one, teams turned in their score cards. Scores were tallied, great shots of the day were retold over again and everyone sat together awaiting the final results.

Quite a performance!
Aaron came home with $400 cash for winning second place!
To celebrate we had a date night at Upstream. It was a wonderful evening!
*True story: Aaron dreamt on Friday, the night before the tournament, that he shot a 55 after the first round. No lie. The wierd thing is that in his dream, Sarah Palin also shot a 55 and he was really upset that she tied had with him.
Isn't that funny!
