Galloway Hammond - Burnet - Took the Day Off

 I took a mental health day off from work and played the Galloway Hammond course in Burnet.   This is a nice little course.  Temperatures were in the lower 70's, mostly cloudy skies.  The winds were calm when I started but they picked up on the back nine, which caused me grief with putting.  Course conditions were green but dry.  The creek that flows thru the course was completely dry.  I had the entire course to myself.

I had some good throws today, got some tree love on a couple of holes.  I made a few bogeys on the back nine because of the wind.  No birdies, but I did manage to finish with a par on #18 with a 40 foot putt.

Official Score

Galloway Hammond - Burnet

 I woke up very early this morning and felt like playing some disc golf.  I drove up to Burnet, got there about 7:45 and played the Galloway Hammond course first then played the course at Haley Nelson Park.  The Galloway Hammond course is a pretty nice course.  It has elevation changes, water comes into play and has a mixture of open fairways and wooded ones.  I like this course for a change of pace.  My only complaint is that holes 9 thru 13 are repetitive, playing along a creek to the left side.   

I had a terrible time putting today.  I could not make a putt from 12 feet.  I must have missed 7 putts.  My drives were ok, took me a while to really get going.

Galloway Hammond Rec Center - Burnet

 I took the day off work today to play the Galloway Hammond course in Burnet.  This course is located just south of town, behind the YMCA.   Temperatures were in the 80's, sunny skies and a decent breeze was blowing.  Course conditions were good, they just finished mowing.  I had the entire course to myself.

This is a pretty good little course.  Most of the holes are par 3's, only one par 4.  A good mix of open shots and technical throws.  There were elevation changes and water does come into play.  The front nine is pretty much open.  There are some trees to get around.  Many of the holes on the back nine run parallel to the creek with heavy rough on the the left side.  I started out well but somehow forgot how to throw during the back nine.  My putting was horrible.  

I only had one birdie but many of the holes are fairly short.  If I played this course a few time I am confident I could lower my score considerably.  One disc lost in the tall grass on #16.  My flick around the mando did not fade back an went deep into the rough.   After trampling around in the briar and nettles for 15 minutes I gave up.
