East Metro Park - Welcome to the Jungle

We met up at 8:30 in Manor at the challenging East Metro Park.  Today's players were:  Lif, Dave, Steve, Chris and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 80's.  Humidity was in the 80's.  Mostly sunny skies and an occasional cool breeze.  Course conditions were good and thick.  The undergrowth has come back with all the recent rains.  We let two other groups of old guys play thru, other than that we had the course to ourselves.

Considering I only had four hours of sleep, I didn't play too badly.  When I didn't hit a tree I had some decent drives.  My fairway shots were a little off which led to challenging putts.  I made a few and missed a few.  I did record a birdie on #14.  My drive snaked thru the trees, hit the ground and bounced off the pole!

Only one birdie made:  Heady(1).  No discs lost and no discs found! 

Lif starts us off!

Dave coming in hot!

Flying Armadillo - Fun Day

 

 Several of us met up at Macho Tacos in Manchaca before heading down to San Marcos to play the Flying Armadillo.  We had a large group today:  Steve, Lif, Dave, Keith, Chris, Darden and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 70's, cloudy skies with thunderstorms in the area.  There was hardly any wind.  We did get rained on a little but it was not bad and did not last long.  Course conditions were good.  A little wet and slippery in places.

We played the short course first to warm up.  It was a lot of fun and there was much  jocularity.  They've updated the course since we last played it and there were many improvements.

I played pretty well today.  My drives were long and mostly straight.  My putting was very good.  I choked on one short putt but made several long putts.  My approach shots could have been better but my putting saved me.  I got some tree love on #14 which kissed my drive closer to the basket.  I birdied #14 and #15.  

A total of five birdies were made:  Heady(2), Lif(1), Dave(1) and Darden(1).  No discs lost and no discs found.

Wong Way Woods - Right Way and a Wong Way

We met up at 8:00 for breakfast at Macho Tacos in Manchaca before driving south to Buck's Backyard in Buda.  Today's players were:  Steve, Lif, Dave, Keith, Chris and Heady.  Temperatures were in the upper 70's, mostly cloudy skies and a pesky breeze was blowing.

I played alright today, could have been better.  Putting continued to be a problem this week.  Not just me.   No putt was safe with the wind blowing.  

There were eight birdies made today:  Chris(3), Keith(2), Steve(1), Dave(1) and Lif(1).  None for me!  One disc found and one disc maybe lost in the vortex.
