Roy G. Guerrero - The Last Warm Day

 Today we attempted to conquer the challenging Roy G. Guerreo course again.  Even though they redesigned this course, it is still difficult.  It's possible to make a par on each hole, but you cannot make a mistake.  Today's players were:  Steve, Chris, Lif, Dave and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 70's, sunny skies and a little bit of wind.  A strong cold front is expected in the afternoon. The trees helped to block the wind.  Course conditions were good and there were many other groups on the course.

I played a little better than the last time I played this course.  I had some good straight drives today.  I got in trouble with the trees at time.  Lif had a putting adventure on #15.  Chris had a good back nine with only one bogey.

No birdies made today.  No discs found.  One disc (Dave's), split when it hit a tree.  It died a hero.

MetCenter - Last Round of the Year

 


MetCenter was the place to meet up at 8:30 this morning.  Today's players were:  Dave, Lif, Chris, Keith, Steve, Bob and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 40's when we started but warmed up comfortably.  Skies were sunny and no wind to speak of.  Course conditions were good, there was water in the creek.  There were a few other groups on the course.

I played about my average for this course.  My drives were ok, they just need to be about 20 feet further.  I only missed one easy putt, for a birdie.  However, I made a long one from about 40 feet on #13. Dave and Bob both had very good games.  Bob's forehand throws really had some distance.  Dave had consistent straight, long drives all day.  Chris had the shot of the day, after a terrible drive on #11, the threw his third shot in from about 100 feet for birdie!  Steve had an off day, he had a hard time getting consistent throws. 

There were nine birdies made today:  Lif(3), Chris(2), Bob(2), Dave(1) and Keith(1).  No discs found and I think no discs lost.

Lif starts us off!

Circle C - First Game of Winter


 We met up at 9:00 at Circle C to eat Macho Tacos and play some disc golf.  Today's players were:  Steve, Lif, Darden, Chris, Keith and Heady.  It was a little chilly when we started, temperatures were in the 40's.  The skies were mostly cloudy but they broke up about halfway through the round.  There was no wind to speak of.  Course conditions were good and there were only a few other players on the course.  Thanks to Steve for bringing the breakfast tacos.

Nobody had a stellar round, Lif was the only one with a decent score.  The humidity was very low, combined with the cool temperatures made it difficult to get a really good grip on the discs.  Everyone had some wild throws.  This was one of my worst rounds at Circle C in a long time.  My drives were short and errant.  My approach shots were not very close and my putts banged off the basket.

Dave Darden drive on #1was painful when he threw backhand.  He played the rest of the round throwing forehand with mixed results.  Keith had the shot of the day with a 65 foot power smash to save bogey on #6.  Lif had a successful long birdie putt on #4.

Only three birdies made today:  Chris(2) and Lif(1).   No discs lost and one disc found in a tree on #7 by sharp-eyed Steve.

Enjoying some Macho Tacos!
