North Town

In an attempt to rid ourselves of the stinky scores last week at Roy G., we decided to play North Town in Plugerville again.  Today's players were:  Steve, Lif, Brian, Keith, Mac and Heady.  It was a little chilly when we started, temperatures were in the middle 30's but there was plenty of sunshine and the winds were calm.  Course conditions were good and there weren't too many other players. 

I started out playing well, but then I missed a few putts and started overthinking my drives and things went downhill quickly.  I even lost a disc in the pond on number 12. Everyone got bit by the putting bug.  We all missed putts in a variety of ways.  Bouncing off the top, skipping off the links or flying through the chains.

A total of nine birdies were made:  Keith(3), Lif(2), Steve(1), Brian(1), Mac(1) and Heady(1).  No discs found but two discs lost.  My drive on #12 and Keith's drive on #14.

Roy G. Guerrero - Cold Morning

It was so cold this morning, so we delayed our start at the Roy G. Guerrero DGC by an hour to let things warm up a little.  It was about 40 degrees when we started at 10:00, but the sun was shining and the wind was not blowing, so it wasn't too bad.  Today's players were:   Steve, Lif, Dave, Keith, Brian, Mac and Heady.  Course conditions were very good and there were a few other groups playing this morning.

We all played below average today.  I missed a couple of putts that I thought that I should have made.  Generally, I was satisfied with my drives and fairway shots, when they did not hit any trees.  However, there are a lot of trees on this course and the holes are very long.

No birdies were made today.  No discs lost, no discs found.

Keith starts us off!

Circle C

It has been ugly weather the last couple of days but this morning was sunny and cool for Circle C.  Today's players were:  Steve, Brian, Dave, BOB and Heady.  Nice to see Bob make it out!  Course conditions were a bit muddy but we've seen worse.  Several other players were on the course, several guys playing solo.

I started out very well, I thought I would have a chance to end up even par for the front nine, but I messed up on the uphill #9 with a double bogey.  Then I started the back nine by messing up the downhill #10 with another double bogey.  I usually make par for those two holes.  I had some good throws but I had a few bad ones also.  At least my putting was not an issue today.  I had a bad drive on #13 but almost made birdie from 200 feet out.  It bounced off the chains!

Only four birdies were made today:  Steve(2), Rob(1) and Brian(1).  No discs lost, no discs found.
