Sprinkle Valley - Feel The Power

Since it was going to be another scorching day in Central Texas, we decided to play a course that has a lot of shade.  We chose to meet up at Sprinkle Valley at 8:00am.  Today's players were:  Steve, Lif, Chris, Keith and Heady.  Temperatures were in the upper 80's to low 90's.  Mostly sunny skies and a slight breeze.  Course conditions were good and there were a fair number of other players on the course.  Not crowded my any means.

I played alright again this week.  Somehow I was throwing long straight drives today.  My approach shots were pretty good.  I missed one putt that I should have made but I also made a putt that I normally would miss.  This course is very challenging.  Several times I had three long straight throws and still wound up with a 40 foot putt.  

There were four birdies made today:  Chris(3) and Lif(1).  No discs found but one disc lost (maybe) by Chris on #1.  He was going back to look for it.

MetCenter - Hot and Dry

We missed National Disc Golf Day on Saturday, we made up for it by playing a round at MetCenter on Sunday.  We met up at 8:00 to enjoy some Macho Tacos before a grueling round.  Today's players were:  Steve, Lif, Keith, Chris and Heady.   Dave was back for a rehab round and he played until his body said not to.  Temperatures were in the upper 70's when we started and in the lower 90's when we finished.  Sunny skies and a cool, slight breeze that did not blow often enough.  Course conditions were good, the creek was mostly dry.  There were a few other players on the course.

I played alright today.  My drives, while not all the long, stayed in the fairways.  My approach shots were pretty much spot on.  I didn't hit any close trees and I made all my putts.  I did make a few stupid throws, but I always do.  Dave did alright, considering he hasn't thrown in months.  Chris was throwing some rockets, amazingly long drives.  Lif had some issues with grip lock.

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

Little Roy G. - Easy Round

 

We met up at 8:00 at the Little G. course.  Today's players were:  Steve, Lif, Keith, Darden, Chris and Heady.  This is a nine-hole course next to the Roy G. Guerrero course.  Several of us have never played it before.  Since it's only nine holes we played it twice.  We finished so early we could have played it a third time!  Temperatures were in the 80's, sunny skies and a slight breeze.  This is a fun, heavily wooded course with short holes that require some technical shots.  The course conditions were very good.  We had the course to ourselves when we started but it quickly became crowded.  I'm glad we started early.

Everyone had a good round and scored under par. We only had four bogies between us.  I had some decent throws despite having a kink in my neck.  I made most of my putts although I had two putts that clanked off the basket and rolled far away.

At total of 42 birdies and one eagle were made today:  Steve had the eagle.  Birdies:  Heady(8), Chris(8), Darden(8), Combs(6), Lif(6), Keith(6).   No discs lost and one disc found by Steve.
