East Metro Park (Manor)

Today we took a trip out east to play the ever challenging East Metro Park in Manor.  We don't play this course until the temperatures go down and some of the growth dies off.  The rough on this course is downright dangerous.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Lif, Dave and myself. 

It was a little chilly when we started with temperatures in the upper 50's but it warmed up to the low 70's by the time we finished.  Partly cloudy skies and a breeze did kick up on the last few holes.  Course conditions were good, they had recently mowed the fairways.  The roughs were still very thick but we avoided them for the most part.  Only a couple of other solo players were on the course.

I played pretty well today.  I had a few good drives and some very close approach shots.  I did miss three putts that I should have made.  I also made a 40 foot putt on #16 with Nick Mata to save par.  Keith made a very difficult 50 foot putt to save par on #13.

A total of four birdies were made:  Steve(2) and Keith(2).  No discs lost, but Lif found two discs on the second hole while searching for his drive.

Big Dave starts us off!
