Berlin Open
The Berlin Open Disc Golf Championships were last weekend and Manuela and I travelled to the country’s capital to be part of it.
While we were there we stayed with our friends from bible school, Arne and Eva, who live in Berlin. It was really great to be able to see them again and to catch up with each other. God really blessed our time there with them.
The tournament started out really well for me. After shooting a 5 under, 52, I was alone in second place going into the second round, three shots behind the leader. Unfortunately, I didn’t throw as well in the second round and dropped back to 10th place after a 5 over, 62.
Arne gave us a little tour of Berlin on the Saturday night. I really wanted to see the old wall and to get an idea of what it was like when the city was divided into two. We also saw the parliament buildings and a huge monument dedicated to the Jewish people who were killed in the second world war. A highlight for me was going to Alexander Platz, where Jason Bourne was in The Bourne Supremacy.
On Sunday, I regained my form and managed to finish the tournament at 3 under par and in a tie for 8th place in the open division - my best finish in Germany so far.
It was a great trip and I hope that we can repeat it again next year.
