Roy G. Guerrero

It was a beautiful day for disc golf!  Sunny skies, light winds and cool temperatures.  Perfect conditions to play the long and unforgiving Roy G. Guerrero disc golf course in East Austin.  Today's players were:  Combs, Dave, Keith, Lif, Bob and Heady.  Course conditions were very good.  They had recently mowed the fairways and cleared the bamboo and dead brush.  A few other groups were on the course today.

I played about average for this course. My drives were inconsistent, some were very nice and some were not.  My approach shots were all pretty close and I made all of the putts that I should have made.  The problem with this course is the length of the holes and the trees in the fairways.  If you make one bad throw you can forget about making par.

Keith had a good round, making several long putts.  He even made par on #7 for the first time.  Steve was battling a chest cold but it did not slow him down too much. 

No birdies were made today.  As a group we made par on fewer than 30 percent of the holes.  No discs lost and one disc found on the first hole by Steve.  I guess the mowers must have uncovered some lost discs.

East Metro Park (Manor) - Saturday Afternoon

The weather reports for Sunday morning indicated strong north winds of 25mph with frequent gusts of over 40mph.  We thought it would be a lot more fun to play on Saturday afternoon with much calmer conditions.  We played out east in Manor, one of our favorite courses in the winter, after the brush has died back.  It is one of our least favorite courses in the summer with the roughest rough around.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Lif, Dave, Bob and myself. 

I played a little under average today.  I'm not getting the distance on my drives and my accuracy is a little off.  My approach shots with Nick Mata were pretty much on.  I don't recall missing any putts.
Dave and Bob were both sinking the long putts.  Keith had a great second shot on #13 and birdied the hole. 

A total of five birdies were made:  Steve(2), Keith(2) and Lif(1).  No discs lost and one disc found by Steve (of course).
