This weekend we had a rough day at the Austin Ridge Bible Church. We had a large group with nine players: Micah, Lif, Big Dave, Keith, Bob, Steve, David, Brian and myself. We started at 8:30 to beat the heat but the heat won anyway. It was a long day and we did not finish until about 1:30. Temperatures were in the upper 90's by the time we finished. The heat and slow play really affected our game and our scores reflect that. No one played exceptionally well; congrats to Micah for the low score for the day.
Steve brought Macho Tacos for breakfast and we definitely needed them for strength. The course has gotten overgrown during the summer and we spent quite a bit of time searching for errant discs. Several groups that we let play through slowed us down. David blew out his shoe halfway through the round and that hindered his drives.
Although we did play poorly, we did finish strong, the only birdies made were on the last three holes: Rob(1), Steve(1) and Lif(1). My birdie was the shot of the day, I threw it in from about 170 feet on #16. Two discs lost David and Micah on #18 and two discs found on #18 by Steve. Bob took most of these photos, good job Bob!
