Circle C

The weather is supposed to be marginal tomorrow so a few of us decided to play today while it was dry and in the 70's.  Today's players were:  Steve, Dave, Bob and myself.  Course conditions were very good and only a few other players were on the course.  There were a few people on the fairway that we had to deal with. 

I did not play too poorly today, I was just plain unlucky on several holes.  I started off slowly then had a string of six pars in a row before I ran into a string of bogies.  I almost made par on the long #5, my fourth shot was only about seventy five from the basket.  My throw landed very near the basket but hit a rock and rolled twenty five feet away, behind a tree.  Missed my par.  I did manage to par #11, I don't recall ever making par on that hole before.  I know I've come close several times.

Steve had very good luck today, getting lots of tree love.  He was three under on the front nine and ended up two under  for the day.  Dave had a nice birdie on #4,  his drive landed closer to the #5 tee pad than the #4 basket.

A total of seven birdies were made today:  Steve(5) and Dave(2).  No discs lost, no discs found.

Roy G. Guerrero

We went from playing the easiest course in Austin yesterday to playing the most difficult one today.  Roy G. is a beast and a challenge.  Very long holes (although no par fives) and lots and lots of trees.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Bob and Heady.  Skies were overcast, temperatures in the upper 60's and light breezes.  Course conditions were good and only a couple of other players were on the course.  Bob discovered a transient camp behind the bamboo near the #5 tee pad.

I had a pretty average day for Roy G., I did well on the front nine and fell apart on the back nine.  I somehow managed to par the long #5 today.  Three good, long throws without hitting a tree and a twenty foot putt.  I don't think I've ever made less than a six on that hole before.  Steve had the shot of the day with a 70 foot birdie putt on #3.  The only birdie of the day.  Overall, Steve had an impressive round with pars on #1, #7, #11 and #18.  All of these are very difficult par 4's, they would be par 5's on any other course.

Steve starts us off!

Missed my par, dammit

If mulligans were allowed on putts my score would be much lower!

Wells Branch

We played a Saturday game today because Lif and Brian have obligations on Sunday.  We played the Wells Branch Disc Golf Course in far north Austin.  This is a neighborhood course and is usually crowded on Sunday, it was not very crowded today.  At least not when we started.  Today's players were:  Steve, Dave, Lif, Keith, Brian and myself. Weather conditions were perfect, temperatures in the upper 60's, no wind and abundant sunshine.  The course condition were fair, two holes, #13 and #15, were missing due to a nearby construction project.

This is a fun course to play, the holes are fairly short but many require precise throws.  The little creek that runs through the course is a hazard on many of the holes.  I think we all found it at least once today.  I had some drives today that looked liked they were pretty close to being an ace.  My putter failed me a few times today.

Looks like there were 23 birdies today:  Keith(6), Steve(5), Dave(5), Brian(4) and Heady(3).  No discs lost, no discs found.
