Roy G. Guerrero - The Struggle is Real

Another hot one in Austin this weekend.  We wanted to play a course that was close and had lots of shade and Roy G. Guerrero fit the bill.  Today's players were:  Steve, Lif, Dave, Chris, Keith and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 80's when we started and 90's when we finished.  Sunny skies and not much wind.  Course conditions were good and there were a fair number of other players on the course.

Unfortunately, having lots of shade also means having lots of trees.  I hit my share of them.  I really couldn't get it going this week and wasn't able to string together three good throws in a row.  I had some decent drives that didn't hit a tree, but several of my approach shots were off the mark.  My 21 foot putt on #3 was dead center, hit the pole and spit out.  That was my day.  Keith had some good throws today and played better than his score reflects, if he only didn't miss so many putts.

Only two birdies made today:  Chris(2).  No discs lost and no discs found.

Roy G. Guerrero - Gorgeous Day

It was a gorgeous day for disc golf at the Roy G. Guerrero park on Sunday.  A storm blew thru the previous night and the weather was cool and clear.  Today's players were:  Steve, Chris, Dave, Lif, Keith and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 50's, mostly sunny skies and a slight breeze.  Course conditions were fair, a few trees were blown down.  There were many other players on the course, we let several smaller groups play thru and had to wait on a large group in front of us.

No one did exceptionally well today.  I started off making par on the first two holes but only had two more pars after that!  I did make some stupid mistakes and missed a putt or two.  I did have some nice drives and great approach shots, but they were not enough.  This is a very challenging course and many holes require perfect throws.  Avoiding the trees is a challenge.  Four of us finished in a tie for last place!

No birdies were made today.  As a group, we only made par on 25% of the holes!   No discs lost and no discs found.

Roy G. Guerrero - Another Rough Week

After playing a long, heavily wooded course last week at Old Settlers', we decided to play another at Roy G. Guerrero.  Today's players were:  Steve, Dave, Lif, Chris, Keith, Bob and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 60's, mostly sunny skies and the wind was not much of a factor.  Course conditions were good and there were many other players on the course.  Big thanks to Steve for bringing Macho Tacos!

Another tough round.  I had decent front nine, decent for this course.  The back nine I could not get a par.  Too many trees and I lost my touch on my approach shots.  Bob made several remarkably long putts.  Lif was spot on with his approach shots.  Chris had some monster drives.

No birdies made today, although Chris and Steve both had chances.  No discs lost and no discs found.
