Sprinkle Valley - Austin Beer Works

 

We played a new course (new to me anyway) on Sunday, Sprinkle Valley DGC at Austin Beer Works.  Today's players were:  Lif, Chris, Dave, Keith, Bob and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 60's, mostly cloudy skies and a breeze was blowing.  Course conditions were a little muddy in places.  There were several other players on the course.

I like this course.  It has many holes that are heavily wooded but also has a few holes that are wide open.  There is some elevation changes and although there is a creek nearby, water doesn't factor in the play.  The holes are fair and challenging.  I would like to play it again.  After the round we enjoyed some hamburgers and beer!

I didn't play too badly, after warming up on a few holes I had some pretty decent drives and approach shots.  I almost threw my Buzz in from 150 feet for a birdie.  Instead it bounced off the chains, far enough where I ended up with a bogey!  I think if I played this course a few more times I could post a decent score.

 There were five birdies made:  Chris(2), Lif(2) and Keith(1).  No discs lost and no discs found.

Roy G. Guerrero - Another Rough Week

After playing a long, heavily wooded course last week at Old Settlers', we decided to play another at Roy G. Guerrero.  Today's players were:  Steve, Dave, Lif, Chris, Keith, Bob and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 60's, mostly sunny skies and the wind was not much of a factor.  Course conditions were good and there were many other players on the course.  Big thanks to Steve for bringing Macho Tacos!

Another tough round.  I had decent front nine, decent for this course.  The back nine I could not get a par.  Too many trees and I lost my touch on my approach shots.  Bob made several remarkably long putts.  Lif was spot on with his approach shots.  Chris had some monster drives.

No birdies made today, although Chris and Steve both had chances.  No discs lost and no discs found.

Old Settlers' Park - Rough Round

It's been almost two years since we've played Old Settlers' Park by the Dell Diamond.  That's too long.  Today's players were Steve, Dave, Lif, Chris, Keith, Bob and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 40's, sunny skies but a brisk wind was blowing.  Course conditions were good, getting to the course was a challenge because of all the construction going on.  There were several other groups on the course.

Chris and Dave had respectable scores, considering the conditions and the difficulty of the course.  It's easy to get in trouble on this course because it is heavily wooded in places.  On the open holes you had to contend with the wind.  I did have a few decent drives.  Keith made several long putts.  

No birdies made today, damn few pars were made.  No discs lost and no discs found.
