Austin Ridge Bible Church

We were supposed to play Circle C this morning, but heavy overnight rains in South Austin forced us to an emergency change of venue.  Today's group consisted of Lif, Dave, Bob, Steve and myself.  Keith is on the 15 DL with a strained left elbow.  It was a little damp this morning, temperatures in the low 70's, cloudy skies and very little wind.  We decided to skip the bonus holes and played from the short tees on several holes.

I played horribly again today, even on my home course! I only had three pars!?  Steve had a decent round and Lif and Dave played better than the last time on this course.  I had my putts working but my drives kept hitting trees.  I played the first seven holes three times this past week and scored at least 5 strokes better each time.  Only two birdies made, Steve and Bob on #18.

I believe I can fly!

Roy G. Guerrero

A beautiful morning for disc golf at Roy G. Guerrero, cool temperatures, bright sunshine and very little wind.  A heavy dew on the grass made for some wet discs but it burned off before too long.  Today's group was Lif, Big Dave, Steve, Bob, Keith and myself.  It was good to have the core group back together after a rain out last week and other absences in previous weeks. 

No birdies to report and only 25% of the total holes played were for par, Steve made eight of the group's 29 pars.  This course has some long holes and lots and lots of trees.  Several hackberry trees were down throughout the course,  victims of the storms from the past couple of weeks.  I was disappointed in my putting today,  I missed at least three putts that I should have made.  No discs lost, no discs found.
