MetCenter DCG

This morning we played the MetCenter DGC in southeast Austin.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Bob, Lif, Dave, Donald and Heady.  Skies were clear and sunny, temperatures were in the low 90's and breeze kicked up from time to time.  Course conditions were good for the most part.  The detention pond on #2 is usually an empty sandbox, today it had six feet of water in it.  The little creek alongside the course was not very full.  Every square foot of the course and parking lot (including the trees) was covered with crazy ants.  They did not bite but were annoying nevertheless.  We spotted a flock of about eight green parrots on hole #11.

I played about average for this course.  My drives were pretty good but my approach shots let me down today.  I was either way short or way long, or got an unlucky roll.  I did throw a couple of fairway shots into the ground.  

Only four birdies were made today:  Dave(2), Steve(1) and Donald(1).  One disc lost by Lif.  Wedged high in tree on #10.  One disc found by Steve, in the creek, under a log, next to his drive.

Steve could not resist the urge to roll around in the mud and the weeds.

He did not know the mud was knee deep when he jumped.
