Williamson County

 We met up at 8:30 at the Williamson County DGC in Round Rock.  Today's players were:  Chris, Lif, Dave, Keith and Heady.  Steve played a practice round with us and he did pretty good.  Temperatures were in the upper 70's.  Skies were cloudy and a breeze was blowing.  We got sprinkled on a couple of times.  Course conditions were good and there were many other players on the course.  Thanks to Steve for bringing the Macho Tacos and thanks to Chris for buying them.

I scored a few strokes worse than the last time we played here.  I wasn't getting the distance on my drives and I missed a couple of stupid putts.  No one really tore up the course today.

There were four birdies made today:  Chris(3) and Lif(1).  No discs lost and no discs found.

Sorry that the photos are out of order.  Blogger was being difficult and I got frustrated with it!

Northtown

 We met up this morning in Plugerville at the Northtown Disc Golf Course.  Today's players were:  Lif, Chris, Keith and Heady.  Steve was there to get some exercise and take score.  Temperatures were in the 80's, sunny skies and no wind to speak of.   Course conditions were very dry, we need rain badly.  There were lots of other players on the course, we started on hole 10 to get around some large groups.  There was a Donald sighting.

I played pretty well today, one of the lowest scores for me on this course in a long time.  If not for a few bad throws it could have been much better.   It took a few throws to get my arm loose, then I was able to snap off some nice drive.  My approach shots were my problem again and there were a lot of trees to contend with.

There were four birdies made today:  Lif(1), Chris(1), Keith(1) and Heady(1).  Chris made an Eagle on the par 5 #11.  He had a very nice drive and great second shot and a long putt.  No disc lost and two discs found, both DX Leopards!

MetCenter - Beautiful Fall Day

 Lif, Dave and Keith met Steve at Macho Tacos before heading over to meet me at the MetCenter.  Steve was out for the exercise and he kept score for us.  Weather conditions were perfect.  Temperatures in the 70's, sunny skies and a slight breeze that did pick up a little.  Course conditions were extremely dry, the creek had no water at all.  There were many other players on the course.

I had a decent round, I am getting a lot more distance on my drives and they are going straight for the most part.  My control was a little off and I hit a few trees.  I didn't have the fine touch on my approach shots.  I made some long putts and missed a couple off the ring.  One putt was a stupid miss.  Lif and Dave both had some long drives.  Keith had a great drive on on #10, parking his disc under the basket.  Both Keith and Lif had some problems with the putter today.  Dave had an impressive round, finishing it with a string of 11 pars!

There were four birdies made:  Keith(2) and Heady(2).  No discs lost, Steve found one but the owner retrieved it.



Dave starts us off!
