Dreamland - Blood, Sweat and Tears

 It's been a couple of years since we've played Dreamland in Dripping Springs.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Dave, Lif, Bob, Chris and Heady.  Temperatures were in the lower 70's, mostly cloudy skies and a good breeze was blowing.  Course conditions were good, a little overgrown in a few places and some dangerous logs were on some fairways (more later).  We had the entire course to ourselves.

I played decent today.  I was happy with most of my drives.  My approach shots were close enough and I made almost all of my putts.  I did have a problem with my second throw on #14.  My follow thru took me into a fallen log.  A piece of wood the size of my thumb was impaled deep in my lower leg.  Fortunately, an expert medical professional was nearby and was able to extract the object and bind my wound.  I even played better after my injury, scoring two birdies!  That's some doctor!

There were four birdies made today:  Heady(2), Steve(1) and Chris(1).  No discs lost but two discs found!

Dreamland - Dripping Springs

 After a delectable breakfast at Macho Taco's in Manchaca, we ventured west to Dripping Springs to play the fun but challenging Dreamland course.  This is only the second time we've played this course.  We need to play it more than once a year.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Lif, Dave, Darden and Heady.  We had great weather, temperatures were in the 80's, mostly sunny skies and a slight breeze.  Course conditions were good and we pretty much had the course to ourselves.

I had some good throws today and a few bad ones.  I had a disaster on hole 3, ending up with  snowman.  Most of my approach shots were good but I really blew a couple of them.  My putting was strong.

A total of nine birdies were made today:  Darden(3), Heady(2), Steve(2), Lif(1) and Dave(1).  No discs lost and no discs found.
