Timmer dominates Fifth Annual Dennis Rodman Invitational
Warren Timmer dominated Sunday's fifth annual Dennis Rodman™ Invitational Tournament™ held at Harbin Park. A curiously windless day gave Timmer the impetus to lead from start to finish.
Spectator Mary Jo Jenkins, of East Lansing, Michigan, stated that she now follows Timmer on tour, driving her 38" Winnebago™ Suncruiser™ RV from venue to venue. "I've followed Warren since his comeback from that unbelievable knee injury, which rivaled Willis Reed's return for sheer courage. He's really gutted it out, made no excuses and has just dominated the tour."
In what appears to be a growing trend, "Timmer's Troops" -- the term they use to describe themselves, patterned after "Arnie's Army" -- gather in groups of up to 150 before each match. Tailgaters, disc golf fans, and other revelers fire up grills and crack open beers anticipating another steller performance from their favorite discer.
A cottage industry of Timmer collectibles has arisen, including mugs, bobble-heads, highlight DVDs, disc golf apparel and shoes. Electronic Arts has also announced that its new disc golf videogame -- Timmer DiscGolf 2007 -- will be available in stores in November.
