MetCenter

We had an early 8:00am start Sunday in order to beat the heat and the crowds at the MetCenter.  City courses are still closed due to the COVID-19, so players are congregating on the courses that remain open.  That defeats the purpose of having people spread out, but then again, the Austin mayor and city council never really thinks anything through. 

We had a large group today:  Steve, Big Dave, Bob, Lif, Keith, Chris, Dave Darden and Heady. It was a warm (ok, hot) day for disc golf.  Temperatures were in 80's when we started and in the mid 90's when we finished.  Course conditions were the driest I've seen them.  There were many other smaller groups on the course.  We let several of them play through.

I ended up about average today, I played a practice round in Marble Falls on Saturday to work out some flaws in my drive.  I did see some improvements today, with both distance and accuracy.   Most of my bogies were due to poor approach shots and missed putts.  Steve had a good round, ending up at even par...even Steven.  

Everyone had a birdie today!  A total of 15 birdies were made today:  Steve(2), Keith(2), DD(2), Heady(2), Lif(2), Chris(2) and Bob(1).     No discs lost but three discs found in the pond on #15 while looking for Keith's drive.

I love to watch DD drives!
