Circle C - Another Ace for Steve

It was a good day for some DG at Circle C this morning.  Today's players were:  Steve, Dave, Bob, Keith and Heady.   Temperatures were in the middle 80's, it was mostly cloudy when we started but mostly sunny when we finished.  The humidity was very high and only an occasional breeze was blowing.  Course conditions were very dry and a few other small groups were on the course.

Steve had the shot of the day with a skip ace on #3.   His drive was low and straight and stopped just before the basket.  Then his disc hit the ground and jumped up and landed in the chains.  It was beautiful.

I played better than I have in the past few weeks.  I started off slow and had some bad rolls and choked on a birdie putt.  Bob did not have a good game today, I think he used it all up at Zilker yesterday with Lif.

One Ace by Steve and eight birdies were made today:    Steve(2), Keith(2), Bob(2), Dave(1) and Heady (1).  No discs lost and no discs found.

Austin Ridge Bible Church - Practice Round - First Ace

Just to get out of the house, I practiced at the Austin Ridge Bible Church course this morning.  I was not having a very good practice round.  My drives were weak and wild, my flicks were all over the place.  However, on hole #7, I threw my first Ace.  I knew it when it left my hand.  The disc had just the right height and speed.  I stood there, by myself, as the disc crashed into the chains. 

A pair of Aces in the past week to report

A couple of Aces by group members in the past week.

Keith made an Ace on Hole #6 at Zilker on April 03, one witness.

Dave made an Ace  on Hole #18 at Wells Branch on April 13,
four witnesses.

Congratulations to both of them!

North Town - The Ides of March - Dave's Ace

It has been about a month since we have played as a group.  We had everyone today except Bob.  Today's players were:  Steve, Dave, Lif, Keith, Brian and myself.  Temperatures were in the upper 50's, skies were hazy and no wind.  The course had seen a lot rain the past weeks and the water hazards were full.  There were even some new ones.  Our discs managed to find the water on almost every hole that had a water hazard.

Dave had the shot of the day!  An Ace on #8.  Beautiful throw, curved around the trees and into the basket.  There was much rejoicing!

I threw poorly today, could not really get a good drive off.  I got off to a poor start and the back nine was about average.  My setup shots were marginal. My putting was good today, although I did miss one putt on #16 that I should have made.

One Eagle today (hole in one):  Dave(1).  Five Birdies:  Brian(2), Keith(1), Lif(1) and Rob(1).

No discs found.  Three discs lost.  Dave into the pond with his drive on #12.  Steve into the pond with his putt on #12.  And Dave into the pond with his drive on #14.
