MetCenter

We had a small group today at the MetCenter.  Today's players were:  Steve, Dave, Keith and Heady.  The temperature and the humidity were both in the 80's (air you can wear) cloudy skies and lots of breezes blowing.  Course conditions were a little overgrown in places and a little muddy in others.  Lots of wildlife out, parrots and herons.  There was a fair number of other players on the course today.  A large group, with several dogs was starting on #1, so we decided to play the back nine first.

I played about average today except for a disaster on hole #12.  The wind took two of my throws deep into brush.  Putting was a problem for all of us, Keith missed at least seven putts he usually makes. Steve had good day, ending up even par, even Steven.  He really had some good drives today!

Five birdies were made today:  Steve(2), Dave(2) and Keith(1).  No discs lost and one disc found in the trees on #14.

Circle C - Father's Day



The first full day of summer found us at the Circle C Disc Golf course in South Austin.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Lif, Dave, Bob, Chris and Heady.  It was a muggy day, with temperatures in the 80's, mostly cloudy skies and an occasional breeze.  Course conditions were good, it rained the day before, so there was a little mud, but the creeks were mostly dry.  There were many other groups on the course.

As a group we had a pretty good round, every scored in single digits.  I had a good round, a little better putting I would have had a very good round.  Putting was a problem again, I missed at least five putts, three of which would have been birdies.  Lif had the shot of the day with a 60+ foot birdie on #12.

A total of 11 birdies were made today:  Steve(3), Chris(3), Bob(2), Lif(1),Heady(1), Dave(1).  No discs lost.  One disc found by Dave in the grapevine by the #11 basket.



It's proven that if you stay in the fairway, your score will improve.

Williamson County DGC

A good day for disc golf at Wilco, a shame we did not play better.  Today's players were:  Steve, Bob, Lif, Keith, Chris and Heady.  Dave is still on the disabled list.  Temperatures were in the 70's, sunny skies and no wind.  Course conditions were dry and the basket was missing on hole #15.

We all had problems with the front nine but picked it up a bit on the back nine.  I had some good drives but had my problems with the trees.  I must have missed six putts.  All were on line but either too high or too low.  Keith had an poor day putting also which is unlike him.  Steve did great on the longer holes, with an impressive birdie on #13 and a par on the long #9.

Only three birdies were made:  Steve(2) and Bob(1).  No discs lost and no discs found.
