Playing Through It

Some sports players are tough. They'll play through any condition. I did not expect disc-golf players to be that tough. A weekend storm blew through Oroville bringing high winds and a lot of rain. I figured a disc-golf tournament would be cancelled due to the weather, but they carried on. Half of the course was under water due to flooding, so they naturally just moved to a make-shift course elsewhere. Yeah, don't call them weak. I can't see many other team players playing through the storm.
