MetCenter - Cold Start

It was a cold morning at the MetCenter this morning.  Good thing we had Macho Tacos to keep us warm.  Today's players were:  Steve, Dave, Lif, Chris, Keith and Heady.  Temperatures were in the low 30's but the sun was shining and the wind held off until the back nine.  Course conditions were good.  They cleared out a lot of dead trees.  There were several other groups on the course.  Thanks to Steve for bringing the tacos and to Dave for buying the tacos!

I played about average today.  I did manage to get some decent drives but I did hit my share of trees.  Chris had a long birdie on #13 from about 80 feet out.   Dave had a very good round making some difficult pars look easy.

There were five birdies made today:  Dave(2), Steve(2) and Chris(1).  No discs found and no discs lost.

Northtown - Lumberjack Day

 

The Lumberjacks

I was a chilly start at Northtown this morning.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Chris, Dave, Lif and Heady.  Temperatures were in the upper 30's, mostly cloudy skies and not much wind.  Course conditions were fair.  The creek had a little water in some places.  There were very few other players on the course.

Nobody had a stellar day but the scores weren't  as bad as I thought they would be.  Cold conditions and bulky clothing combined with lots of trees lead to poor scores. 

There were five birdies made today:  Chris(3), Dave(2) and Lif(1).  No discs found.  I lost a dear friend today.  My Orion LS, "Nick Mata", developed a large split down the middle after a soft throw on #1.  I guess it was his time to go.  I gave it one last throw on #12 to give him a burial at sea.  Sleep well Nick, you will be missed.

Circle C - Welcome to 2026

Happy New Year!!

We played Circle C for the first round of the new year.  The players were:  Steve, Dave, Lif, Chris, Darden, Keith and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 50's-60's, sunny skies and a light breeze.  Course conditions were good but very dry.  There were many other players on the course, we let several groups play thru.

I started off slow on the first hole but overall I played alright.  I made several putts outside my comfort zone.  If it wasn't for a few really stupid throws and some bad rolls my score.....you know.  Steve and Chris both had good rounds and lots of birdies.

There were eight birdies made today:  Chris(4), Steve(3) and Heady(1).  No discs lost, one disc almost found but it had several holes in it, so we left it in the tree.
