Sinkhole ' 84 featured 12 teams in the men ' s divi sion and 3 women ' s teams. Both Gainesville teams made a clean sweep by winning in both divi­ sions. Other teams traveled from Atlanta , Oak Ridge , Tenn ., and Huntsville , Ala. to play. Finals , which were played under the lights , featured some great defensive plays by Gainesville and their opponents, Gang of Disc. Final score 18 to 9. In semi-final action Miami edged by USF , 17-15 , while the wild card UCF lost to Gang of Disc. Another aspect of the Sinkhole is its pools ide party and BBQ . The honorably discharged William St. John and his roommate Jay "this must be the place" Boland provided a sumptuous spread that everyone hungrily and quickly devoured. Protein loading as it's called in some circles. This third Sinkhole brought home the idea that all Florida teams are becoming stronger and much more competitive . Sectionals , scheduled for Oct. 13th and 14th in Gainesville , are certain to feature some very fine play if Sinkhole '84 is any indication. P.S. Rick 'Sky Chop " Mellin the originator , founder, and coordinator of Sinkhole is recovering slowly at the home from the event. ....____________ THERE GOES By :THE Terry HamlinNEIGHBORHOOD ___________ --, \'hat is Ultimate coming to now? A bunch of Fat Women from Gainesville (that ' s right - Hog Town) just won their second consecutive Sinkhole City Classic in Winter Park over Labor Day weekend. The Fat Women is the name of Gainesville ' s men ' s team in case you ' re confused. Fat was definitely where it WaS at in this Jrd annual tourney as Gainesville rolled their way through the finals against Gang of Disc from New Orleans, the same team they defeated in last years Sinkhole Classic. The championship match was played under the lights in Winter Park ' s Showalter Stadium and offered one of the better views of Ulti~ate in recent memory . Highlighted'by wide open aerial attacks by both teams , the match boasted many fully-extended horizontal grabs in the end zone. In the end Gainesville ' s team of 20 plus overpowered G.O.D. ' s squad of 14, winning handily 18 to 9. The Classic turned out 12 men's and J women ' s teams from throughout the southern region. The two days of competition was victimized by the over bearing heat and humidity which has become assoiated with this late summer tourney . Despite conditions , strong showings were made by Miami , Atlanta , Tampa and the host Aliens from Orlando. The Dogs of War from UCF battled back from the losers bracket to play G.O. D. in the semi­ finals as a wild card . Gainesville's women's team , The Flying Nuns , took 1st place in women ' s competition with impressively solid offensive and defensive play. t++... + ...........+ ..

The R.F. ' s top 3 picks are Gainesville, Miami, and Tampa . The real question is who will go to the Nationals? Disc Golf The disappointment of the year has been the absence of Jeff Watson. Has he gone into semi-retirement? Last years World & State golf champion failed to compete in this years events .
