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.

Old Settlers - Rough Round

 We met up at 8:30 in Round Rock at Old Settlers Park.  Today's players were:  Chris, Keith, Darden, Lif, Dave and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 80's, skies were mostly sunny, there was a breeze but it was not a factor.  Course conditions were good.  Mosquito repellent is mandatory!  There were a few other groups on the course.  Thanks to Big Dave for bringing the Cuban cigars!

None of us had a stellar round.  Lif had the least bad score.  I played alright for not playing in two weeks.  My throws had some more power behind them, my heart is pumping blood better.  I did miss three easy putts on the front nine.  

Only one birdie made today and that was by Chris.  I think we had one disc lost (Lif), no discs found.

Old Settlers' Park - I did not play

 I was out of town last weekend and the group played Old Settlers' Park in Round Rock.  The scores looked rough as always. Started at just above  40F but finished at above 70F. Fun was had by all. No discs lost and one found by Chris.

Old Settlers' Park

 We met up at 8:00 this morning at Old Settlers' Park in Round Rock for some Macho Tacos and disc golf.  Thanks to Lif for buying breakfast and thanks to Steve for bringing it.  Today's players were:  Steve, Dave, Lif, Mark, Chris, Keith and Heady.  Good to see Mark again!  Temperatures were in the 80's when we started, partly cloudy skies and the wind was not an issue.  Course conditions were good but dry.  There were many other groups on the course today.

I played about my average for this course.  It is easy to get into trouble if you don't stay on the fairway.  I made a pretty long putt on #5 to save par but I missed three closer putts that I should made.  Mark impressed us all with his distance drives.

Only three birdies made today:  Chris(2) and Mark(1).  No discs lost and one disc found by Keith on #18.
