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.
