Hawk Hollow Open

Well it's that time of year again. Time for the Hawk Hollow Open AM & Pro tournaments. I thought about playing in the AM event this year but decided that it would be easier on my  ankles to just help out the TD and shoot some pics of the action.

One thing I was able to do was dye the tourney trophy discs. The first one I did was for the Hot Pepper eating contest that is held during the Pro weekend. John Biscoe grows them on his farm so they are fresh and juicy. These guys have to eat several varieties of hot peppers from Jalapenos to the Moruga Scorpion. I had to look that one up on Wikipedia and according to that source....

"The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion (Capsicum chinense), endemic to the district of Moruga in Trinidad and Tobago, is currently the world's hottest Chili pepper cultivar. The New Mexico State University's Chili Pepper Institute has identified the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion as the newest hottest chili pepper in the world as of February 2012.[1][2] According to the New Mexico State University Chile Institute, the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion ranks as high as 2,009,231 SHU on the Scoville scale, making it the hottest chili pepper in the world to date.[3] "

Whoever wins will get this disc...




I also did the division winners for this weekends AM event...
