Run, Spot! Run!

Hole 9 sponsor Gemini Dogs is hosting a two-day dog agility trial this weekend from 8AM-4PM. If you like dogs, are thinking about getting a dog, or have seen agility on TV and want to see it in person, please stop by!

It's free and the kids will love seeing all the dogs running around. I hear the owner of GDogs is a decent disc golfer too. ;-)

Agility is basically an obstacle course for dogs. The handler guides her dog through the course which consists of ramps, weave poles, chutes, jumps, and tunnels. The run is timed and points are added for missed targets and things like that. Our trials are fun, low-key events and the main goal is for the owner and dog to have fun.

Agility people love to talk about their dogs, so feel free to chat with them (as long as they aren't getting ready to run).

Gemini Dogs is about 6 miles away from the course down Rt 2A/110 toward 495 in Littleton. Since I'll be busy with the event, I probably will not make it to the Sunday Social. Bummer!
