East Metro Park

Today the Churchill High School group, Steve, Bob, Lif, Keith and Rob, played the East Metro Park in Manor.  I always love playing this course because of its difficulty and remoteness.  You really feel like you are in the deep woods when you play this course.  The most difficult thing about this course is the rough.  We spent about 45 minutes looking for lost discs on the first eight holes.  We had to battle huge cactus patches, mesquite, poison ivy, beggars lice, spear grass, stinging nettles, other thorny bushes, bees, ants, mosquitoes, scorpions, wasps and mud.

We had a fair amount of rain this weekend so the course was a little muddy.  There was water in some parts of the creek, I almost lost my disc in the dirty water again.  Because of the recent rains the temperatures were only in the upper 80's.  Although it was rather humid and sticky, a slight breeze developed later in the morning and refreshed us.

No discs lost (but we came close a few times), two discs found (me and Steve).  A total of five birdies today, Keith (3) and Steve (2).
