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.

Wong Way Woods - Last Round of 2025

 

We met up 8:00 this morning at Macho Tacos in Manchaca for breakfast before heading down to Buda for an exciting round of disc golf at Wong Way Woods.  Today's players were:  Steve, Dave, Lif, Chris, Keith and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 70's, mostly cloudy skies and a slight breeze was blowing.  Course conditions were good and dry.  There was one other player on the course.

My approach shots let me down today.  I just couldn't get the fine touch.  I had some challenging putts and I actually made a few of them.  I came close to an ace on the short #3, my Buzz sailed just to the left of the basket.

There were 11 birdies made today:  Lif(4), Chris(3), Steve(2) and Heady(2).  No discs lost and no discs found.

Lumberjacks!
