Steeplechase - The Wind Was Blowing

We met up at Macho Tacos in Manchaca at 8:00 to enjoy some breakfast tacos before heading down to Kyle to play Steeplechase.  Today's players were: Dave, Chris, Keith, Darden, Bob and Heady.  Steve had surgery on Friday so he was walking the course for exercise.  Temperatures were in the upper 60's when we started, sunny skies but a 20mph wind was blowing from the north.  Course conditions were fair.  The creek was almost totally dry and there were lots of tall weeds.  We spent a long time looking for errant throws.  Hole number 9 was truncated to make room for a playscape.  It's now a par 3.

I played about average today.  I made some stupid mistakes on some easy holes and that cost me a few strokes.  The wind was making it difficult for everyone.  Putting was an adventure.  I had the shot of the day with a birdie from halfway down the fairway on #8.

There were four birdies made today:  Darden(3) and Heady(1).  No discs lost and one disc found by Steve.

Circle C - Another Day in the Sun

The endless summer continues.  We met up a Circle C Sunday morning for a fun round of disc golf.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Chris, Bob and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 80's, not a cloud in the sky and only a slight breeze.  Course conditions were dry and crispy, we haven't seen rain in six weeks.  There were many other players on the course, a small tournament was going on.  We did have to wait several times.   Bob cut out after 10 holes.

I played about average today, I played solo on this course on Friday and did much better.  I wasn't getting a lot of distance on my throws and my arm started to give out on the last three holes.  Keith had some really good throws today.  On #10 his drive sailed just by the basket and he made a long come back putt for a birdie. 

There were six birdies made today: Chris(3), Steve(2) and Keith(1).  No discs lost and two discs found.

Wilco - A Good Day

It was a good day today for some disc golf at Williamson County DGC.  Today's players were:  Steve, Dave, Lif, Chris and Heady.  Temperatures were in the mid 80's, sunny skies and only a slight breeze.  Course conditions were good and clean, a little dry.  There were a few other players on the course.

 I played pretty well today. It helps to stay out of the rough.  Most of my drives were straight and fairly long.  My approach shots were close enough and I made some decent putts.  I did clang three putts off the ring, including one for a birdie attempt.  Steve is getting some distance back on his throws.  I had the first shot of the day with a 100+ foot flick on #3 to save par.  Lif had the second shot of the day with a 100+ foot throw to save par on #17.

There were four birdies made today:  Chris(3) and Steve(1).   No discs lost and no discs found.
