Cat Hollow

 We met up this morning at 8:30 at the Cat Hollow DGC in Round Rock.  Today's players were:  Steve, Dave, Chris, Darden and Heady.  It was a little chilly with temperatures in the 50's and a strong north wind blowing.  At least the sun was shining.  Course conditions were good despite the heavy rains from last night.  There were many other groups on the course.

I made too many stupid mistakes today.  My drives were pretty good for the most part, it was my approach throws and putting that did me in.  I must have missed five putts and I can't blame the wind.  I just missed them!

Only two birdies made today:  Steve(1) and Darden(1).  No discs found and I lost my orange driver on the berm on #4.  I just walked off and left it.

Live Oak Brewery - Wednesday Round

 We met up for a Wednesday round at 1:00 at the Live Oak Brewery DCG.  I've never played this course and since it is my first retirement week round we decided to play it.  Today's players were:  Chris, Bob, the McGrath brothers and Heady.  Temperatures were in the low 80's with mostly cloudy skies.  A gentle breeze  was blowing.  We were the only players on the course.

I really like this course!  The holes are varied and fair.  There are elevation changes and majestic oak trees that come into play.  They have also added a few gimmicks on some holes to make it interesting.  The rough is pretty thick in some places, easy to lose a disc.  The course is across the highway from the airport so jets are flying over every two minutes.

About halfway thru I seemed to have forgotten how to throw for a couple of holes and made some terrible shots.  I missed at least three putts, either off the rim or the chains.  I would like to play this course again soon, plus they have cold beer after the round.

There were eight birdies made:  Chris(3), Bob(2), Dave(2) and Heady(1).   At least two discs lost and no discs found.

Time for a beer!

Roy G. Guerrero - I did not play

 The group met up at Roy G. at 8:30.  The players were:  Steve, Dave, Bob, Darden and Keith.  Chris and I had a prior obligation and could not play.  Lif walked with the group until hole 14 and headed out to fly a kite at Zilker.  Skies were cloudy and it was humid.  There were a fair number of players on the course.  Judging by the scores I'm glad I did not play.

Steve had the shot of the day at hole one with a 70 foot shot for birdie.  The only birdie of the round.  No discs lost and one disc found by Bob.  He called the number and the owner told him to keep it.

Austin Ridge Bible Church

 We met up Sunday for Church, the Austin Ridge Bible Church.  The players were:  Steve, Keith, Dave, Chris and Heady.  Lif showed up and brought donuts to celebrate my retirement!  He was unable to play due to complications from another breakfast taco incident (long story).   Temperatures were in the upper 70's, mostly cloudy skies and a slight breeze.  Course conditions were fair, this course really needs some love.  We only saw a couple of other players on the course.

I was not happy with my drives or my approach shots or my putting. At least I was consistent.  This is a very unforgiving course.  I warmed up a little when we played the first three holes a second time and made some decent throws.  Too little too late.

There were five birdies made:  Dave(2), Chris(2) and Steve(1).  One disc lost and one disc found.
