Circle C - Dust in the Wind

A cold front blew in last night, so it was a little chilly when we met up at Circle C this morning.  Today's players were:  Chris, Steve, Dave, Lif, Darden and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 40's, skies were mostly cloudy and the wind was blowing in from the north at 15+ mph with gusts up to 25mph.  Course conditions were good.  There were several other fools on the course.

No one had a very good round today.  Bulky clothing, frozen fingers and gusty winds resulted in high scores.  I had a few good drives just not much distance.  I didn't have the fine touch on my fairway throws and had a few errant shots.  I hate making bogey on holes #9 and #10.  No one made par on both of them.  Most of my approach shots were spot on.  My putting save me a couple of strokes.  

Only two birdies made today:  Chris(1) and Darden(1).  No discs lost and no discs found.

Northtown - Large Group

 

It was a cool morning when we met up at Northtown at 8:30. Today's players were:  Steve, Dave, Lif, Chris, Keith, Bob, Adam and Heady.  Adam is in town from Alabama and has only played a few times.  He has natural athletic ability, after nine holes he pretty much figured it out.  Temperatures were in the 50's when we started.  Mostly cloudy skies and enough of a breeze to make you think about it.  Course conditions were a little muddy, the was some water in the creek.  There were many other players on the course.

I played a little below my average today.  I wasn't getting the distance on my drives and I hit too many trees.  I didn't miss any putts that I should have made.  Adam did very well for the first time playing this course.  He had the shot of the day on #11 with a 90 foot throw in for eagle.  Steve came very close to an ace on #12.

There were seven birdies made today:  Steve(3), Chris(1), Lif(1), Dave(1), Adam(1).  Adam also had an eagle on #11.  No discs found and one disc lost.  My throwaway sleeps with the fishes on #12.

Wong Way Woods - Good Day

We met up again at Macho Tacos in Manchaca for a great breakfast before heading south to Buda to play Wong Way Woods.  Today's players were:  Chris, Darden, Lif, Steve, Keith and Heady.  The weather was great for the middle of November.  Temperatures were in the 80's, sunny skies and only a slight breeze.  Course conditions were good and dry.  Very dry.  There were a couple of other small groups on the course.

I played alright today.  My drives were good enough and my approach shots were accurate.  I did miss a couple of putts early in the round.  Lif damn near had a Black Ace on #18.  Nice distance Lif!

Lots of birdies today, 16 of them.  Chris(4), Darden(4), Steve(3), Lif(3) and Heady(2).  No discs lost and no discs found.
