MetCenter - The Last Summer Weekend

Autumn begins this week, we can look forward to cooler temperatures and maybe some rain.  Until then, we remain on Hell's front porch.  We had an early 8:00 start to beat the heat at MetCenter.  Today's players were:  Lif, Dave, Chris, Keith, Steve, Bob and Heady.  Temperatures were in the upper 80's to low 90's.  Sunny skies and an occasional cool breeze.  Course conditions were dead and dry.  There were a fair number of other players on the course.

I scored better than I thought I played.  My drives were pretty good.  Straight and decent distance.  My approach shots could have been a little close.  I was left with challenging putts, many of which I missed.  Keith had some damn good approach shots today.  Parked them under the basket.  Lif was throwing piss missiles down the fairway.  He had a nice birdie on #12.  Chris had a very good round, ending up below par.  

There were nine birdies recorded today:  Chris(4), Lif(2), Keith(1), Dave(1) and Heady(1).  No discs found.  One disc lost by Lif into the pond on #15.

MetCenter - Hot and Dry

We missed National Disc Golf Day on Saturday, we made up for it by playing a round at MetCenter on Sunday.  We met up at 8:00 to enjoy some Macho Tacos before a grueling round.  Today's players were:  Steve, Lif, Keith, Chris and Heady.   Dave was back for a rehab round and he played until his body said not to.  Temperatures were in the upper 70's when we started and in the lower 90's when we finished.  Sunny skies and a cool, slight breeze that did not blow often enough.  Course conditions were good, the creek was mostly dry.  There were a few other players on the course.

I played alright today.  My drives, while not all the long, stayed in the fairways.  My approach shots were pretty much spot on.  I didn't hit any close trees and I made all my putts.  I did make a few stupid throws, but I always do.  Dave did alright, considering he hasn't thrown in months.  Chris was throwing some rockets, amazingly long drives.  Lif had some issues with grip lock.

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

MetCenter - Let's Go To The Met!!

We met up at Metcenter at 8:30 for a sticky round of disc golf.  Today's players were:  Steve, Lif, Dave, Keith and Heady.  Temperatures were in the upper 80's, the humidity was in the lower 80's.  Skies were mostly cloudy and the cool breeze did not blow often enough.  The humidity was brutal.  We were all exhausted by the end of the round.  Course conditions were very good.  They had mowed the fairways and removed the dead trees.  There were a quite a few other players on the course.

I played a below my average today.  I had some decent drives but hit too many trees.  I made a couple of long putts but missed several short putts.  I hit the basket or the ring.  Two triple bogies and two double bogies really killed my score.  Dave and Steve had some very long putts.

Only three birdies made today:  Lif(2) and Dave(1).  No discs lost and one disc found.
