By Patty Putts for Mangy Coyote Media The Easter Bunny was busy hiding eggs throughout Riverside that aided in the disc golf action, each prize containing a mulligan for use at the Inaugural Patty Putts Easter Eggstravaganza on April 8 in Swift Current. The teams were out shooting low despite warm, breezy afternoon conditions that produced wet footing at Riverside Park as the 2023 winter snowpack dissipated. Coming out on top of the field, we had Isaac Ritskes and Mathew Vaughan shooting a solid -11, edging out Team Deadly Arlen Nickel and Jeri-Ann Brownbridge who shot a -9.

Barela, Jones, McMahan take charge on LVC’s Day 2 Yesterday’s co-leader Anthony Barela set the pace in Round 2 of the Las Vegas Challenge presented by Innova on Friday. With weather conditions still cool but calmer than the previous day in Henderson, NV, Barela shared the hot round of the day with a minus-12, spiking him to the top of the leaderboard at minus-20. The six-year pro relied on long, accurate drives to overcome some putting hiccups within 30 feet. The short-misses didn’t seem to cost him, as he played bogey free golf.
