East Metro Park - Holding on and Letting Go

We met up at 8:30 in East Metro Park in Manor for a fun round of disc golf.  Today's players were:  Steve, Chris, Keith, Lif, Dave and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 80's, mostly sunny skies and hardly any wind.  Course conditions were good and dry.  They had done some controlled burns so some of the brush was thinned out. There were a few other groups on the course.

I had a slow start and got back on track after a few holes.  My approach shots were a little off but I made most of my putts.  I had a few stupid throws.

There were seven birdies made today:  Chris(3), Steve(1), Dave(1), Heady(1) and Lif(1).  No discs lost and no discs found.

East Metro Park - Welcome to the Jungle

We met up at 8:30 in Manor at the challenging East Metro Park.  Today's players were:  Lif, Dave, Steve, Chris and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 80's.  Humidity was in the 80's.  Mostly sunny skies and an occasional cool breeze.  Course conditions were good and thick.  The undergrowth has come back with all the recent rains.  We let two other groups of old guys play thru, other than that we had the course to ourselves.

Considering I only had four hours of sleep, I didn't play too badly.  When I didn't hit a tree I had some decent drives.  My fairway shots were a little off which led to challenging putts.  I made a few and missed a few.  I did record a birdie on #14.  My drive snaked thru the trees, hit the ground and bounced off the pole!

Only one birdie made:  Heady(1).  No discs lost and no discs found! 

Lif starts us off!

Dave coming in hot!

Caught one!

Inhale confidence.  Exhale doubt.

Lif makes a long one!

East Metro Park - Muddy Day

It's been raining the past few days but we were able to squeeze in a round this morning at the East Metro DGC in Manor.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Lif, Chris, Dave and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 70's, cloudy skies, we got sprinkled on a couple of times.  At least the wind wasn't blowing.  Course conditions were very muddy and the vegetation is getting thick.  Especially the poison ivy.  We had the course to ourselves.  Another group pulled up just as we finished.

I played alright today.  My drives weren't too bad and many of my approach shots were dead on, under the basket.  I did blow a putt on #5 but made a couple of putts that I was sure that I was going to miss.  I had a really good front nine but hit too many trees on the back nine.

 There were five birdies made today:  Chris(2), Steve(1) and Heady(1).  No discs found and one disc lost, Keith walked off on one.
