Roy G. Guerrero

We were fortunate to have pleasant weather today due to a favorable oscillation of the polar vortex.  Temperatures were a little cool when we started but warmed up to the mid 70's by the time we finished.  Winds were light but did pick up a little towards the end of the round.  Sunshine was abundant.  All good conditions to play Roy G., which is a tough course even when the weather is good.  Today we had a large group:  Steve, Keith, Lif, Parker, MikeB, Bob, Derek and myself.  Lif was a little late showing up, see the photo below for the explanation.

Today's scores were not very impressive, although Burko did show a lot of improvement since the last time we played.  This course can humble you.  Make your pars when you can on the shorter holes and hope for a bogey on the long holes with lots of trees. There were some very impressive shots today, Lif make a very long putt for par on #1 but Bob had the shot(s) of the day.  Bob threw it in from over 100 feet on #8 to score a birdie and made a very tough throw around a tree to make par on #10.  Overall the group had four birdies:  Steve (2), Bob (1) and Parker (1).  Steve had some very impressive drives this week.

As for myself, I did about as well as last time.  My drives were not going as far I have been throwing lately and my setup shots were inconsistent.  I had several terrible fairway throws that went about 50 feet.  I was over thinking my shots instead of just letting my muscle memory take over.  At least my putting was not giving me trouble as it has the past few outings.  The scorecard has me down for three pars but I made a bogie on #17.

No discs lost and no discs found.

Lif was going a little too fast on Riverside Drive!

Circle C

We were blessed with good weather today at the Circle C; however, we were cursed by the gods of putting.  The good news was that Lif made his return from the disable list.  The time off did not seem to hurt his game too much.  The players today were:  Lif, Dave, Steve, Keith, Mike, Bob and myself.  Cool temperatures, calm winds, dry grounds and abundant sunshine.  You can't ask for better conditions for playing.  If only I could putt.

Keith and I did some practice putting before we started and we were both nailing them!  I guessed we used up all of our good putts during practice because we sucked after that.  At least eight times I missed easy putts by bouncing them off the basket or clanking them off the ring.  I missed at least four birdie shots.  Keith was having similar issues with his putting.  Lif had some good putts today, a very long on one #8 to save par.  I suspect he's been practicing while on the DL.

Only four birdies today:  Steve (2), Dave (1) and Keith (1).  Steve birdied #11 after a very impressive second shot.  No discs lost, on disc found by Keith, something blue...

Me, before my best throw of the day.  Third shot on #11, about 250 from the basket.

My throw went straight and long, thru the 'V' branches on an oak tree.  Ten feet from the pin.
