MetCenter - A Beautiful Spring Day

It was a beautiful spring day for disc golf at the MetCenter.  Today's players were:  Chris, Steve, Dave, Lif, Keith, Bob and Heady.  Temperatures were in the mid 60's when we started, not a cloud in the sky and a slight breeze was blowing.  Course conditions were good.  Surprisingly there were very few other players on the course. Thanks to Steve for bringing the Macho Tacos!

 I had some decent drives today.  Straight and about a far as everyone else (except Chris).  It was my approach shots that held me down again.  I was left with putts just outside my range.  It didn't help that I missed a couple of putts that were within my range.  Lif had the shot of the with a 90 foot toss in to save par on #2.

A total of ten birdies were made today:  Steve(3), Chris(3), Dave(1), Lif(1), Keith(1) and Heady(1).  No discs lost and no discs found.

Williamson County - EID MAR

Beware the Ides of March.  Beware playing Wilco hungover!  We met up at 8:30 at the Williamson County DGC.  Today's players were:  Steve, Chris, Keith, Lif, Dave, Bob and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 70's, mostly cloudy skies and a stiff wind was blowing.  About halfway thru the clouds burned off and the temperatures climbed.  The winds stayed strong.  Course conditions were good and there were several other players on the course.

I was very hungover this morning.  I went out drinking last night and had less than four hours of sleep.  I did not play very well.  I did manage a few good throws but towards the end I lost concentration.  The strong winds and numerous trees did not help.  Lif and Steve were hitting his long putts today!

There were six birdies made today:  Chris(4) and Steve(2).  No discs lost and no discs found. 

Steve starts us off!

Sprinkle Valley - Austin Beer Works

 

We played a new course (new to me anyway) on Sunday, Sprinkle Valley DGC at Austin Beer Works.  Today's players were:  Lif, Chris, Dave, Keith, Bob and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 60's, mostly cloudy skies and a breeze was blowing.  Course conditions were a little muddy in places.  There were several other players on the course.

I like this course.  It has many holes that are heavily wooded but also has a few holes that are wide open.  There is some elevation changes and although there is a creek nearby, water doesn't factor in the play.  The holes are fair and challenging.  I would like to play it again.  After the round we enjoyed some hamburgers and beer!

I didn't play too badly, after warming up on a few holes I had some pretty decent drives and approach shots.  I almost threw my Buzz in from 150 feet for a birdie.  Instead it bounced off the chains, far enough where I ended up with a bogey!  I think if I played this course a few more times I could post a decent score.

 There were five birdies made:  Chris(2), Lif(2) and Keith(1).  No discs lost and no discs found.
