Old Settlers Park

On Sunday we went far north to play Old Setters Park, next to the Dell Diamond in Round Rock.  We played this course last year and it was fun to give it another try.  This course is more of a bomber's course instead of a technical course.  Most holes are wide open shots and many are very, very long.  There is water to contend with and we found it a few times.  Today's group consisted of:  Steve, Lif, Dave, Brian, Keith and myself.  Temperatures were in the lower 80's, abundant sunshine and just enough wind to cause problems.

Course conditions were good, looks like they just mowed some of the fairways.  I think they shortened #4 to be only very long instead of crazy long.  We did have to contend with orange plastic netting that was put up in conjunction with the holiday lights.  We did not encounter any other groups playing the course but there were people walking and jogging across the fairways.

Only one birdie today, Steve.  I had a legitimate shot at at birdie but missed a ten foot putt, damn wind.

Three discs lost, I lost one of my favorites, my Orion on #2,  my setup shot went past the basket into the deep, scummy water.  No chance of recovery.  Steve and Lif both lost discs on #16, teeing off the dam.  Dave and I almost lost discs there also but Dave was able to recover both of them.

Afterwards, Lif, Keith and I went to the Salt Lick for some tasty BBQ.
