North Town - Beautiful Day

The weather was perfect for disc golf this Sunday at the North Town DGC in Pflugerville.  Temperatures were in the upper 70's, lots of sunshine, very low humidity and only a slight breeze.  Today's players were:  Lif, Dave, Brian and myself.  Course conditions were very nice, the rains last week greened up the place.  The course was crowded, a tournament was being played so we had to wait around a lot.  It really broke up the rhythm of the game.

It seems that I can never have a good game here.  I love the course and the layout but I still have not figured it out yet.  Dave had a very nice round and an exceptional back nine.

A total of five birdies were made today:  Dave(4) all on the back nine and Brian(1).

Two discs lost in the pond on #12, Heady and Lif.  No discs found.

Circle C - Warm Day

We had the full group turn out Sunday for a round at the Circle C DGC in South Austin.  The players were:  Steve, Dave, Lif, Keith, Brian, Bob and myself.  Roscoe came along for the exercise.  Skies were mostly sunny, temperatures in the upper 80's and an occasional cool breeze.  Conditions were still very dry on the course.  Several other groups were playing today and we had to let several of them play through.

Bob had a very good round today, making par on 8 of the first 9 holes.  Brian matched his score for the round.  Steve had the best game today, shooting even par for the day.  Even Steven.  I had a really nice drive on #3 that we all thought had a real good chance of going in.  It just missed the basket by a couple of feet.  Dave had a great 45 foot putt for par on #14.  Steve almost had the shot of day on #18.  From about 225 feet out he threw a frozen rope right at the basket.  He threw it so hard, his disc went through the chains, hit the pole and bounced out!

A total of six birdies were made:  Steve(3), Keith(2) and Dave(1).  No discs lost and no discs found.

Blob starts us off!
