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.

Austin Ridge Bible Church - Wednesday Practice Round

 

 

We played an afternoon practice round at Austin Ridge Bible Church.  It's been a couple of years since we've played there and we were curious about the condition of the course.  The players were:  Lif, Dave, Keith and Heady.  It was warm with temperatures near 90 degrees.  The course really could use some maintenance.  The brush has grown substantially and there are fallen branches on some fairways.  It was rough, did not keep score but we had fun!
