MetCenter - Father's Day - First Day of Summer




It was a squishy day for the first day of summer at the MetCenter DGC.  Today's players were:  Steve, Dave, Lif, Keith and myself.  We had an early 8:00 start so Keith could drive to San Antonio for a Father's Day event in the afternoon.  To compensate us for the early start, Keith paid for a delicious breakfast of Macho Tacos that Steve picked up.  Weather conditions were overcast and humid, temperatures in the upper 70's with a pesky breeze.  We lucked out and the rain did not start until we finished the 18th hole.

I started out pretty well today, must have been the macho tacos, but I lost my ability to drive on a few holes.  My approach shots are what saved me and I did make some nice putts.  We all had problems with the little creek that runs throughout the course.  We spent a lot of time searching for discs in the murky waters.  I lost one of my favorites on #9, an Avenger SS, the straightest disc in my bag.  The water was too deep to even try to recover it.

Only three birdies were made today:  Lif(2) and Heady(1).  One disc lost, my drive on #9.  Four discs found.  Three by Lif, when he was searching the water for his missed putt on #13.

Steve starts us off!

Conditions were less than ideal.   A little muddy
