Williamson County DGC - Warm September Day

It was a warm day for late September at the Williamson County Disc Golf Course.  Temperatures were in the upper 80's, skies were sunny and there was no wind to speak of.  We had an early 8:30 start to beat the heat.  We had a small group today, only Steve, Brian and myself.  Dave was out of town.  Lif and Keith were too distraught over the Longhorns losing last night.

I played a little below average today.  The putting bug bit me again and I missed several putts from less than 20 feet.  Clanking off the yellow rim.  Steve had the shot of the day on #18 with a birdie from about 100 feet out.

A total of 6 birdies were made today:  Steve (4), Brian (1) and Rob (1).  No discs found, one disc lost by Steve with a wild drive on #15.

Roy G. Guerrero DCG

It was a beautiful day for disc golf Sunday at the Roy G.  The players were:  Steve, Dave, Lif, Brian and Rob.  Temperatures were in the upper 70's when we started, abundant sunshine and no wind.  Course conditions were good, most of the fairways were mowed recently.  Other than a large hackberry tree had fallen on the #5 tee pad the course looked pretty good.  Only a few other players were on the course.

We all played about average for Roy G.  This is a very long course with lots of trees and the rough is still pretty thick in places.  I had some decent drives but I missed four putts that I really should have made.  Several long putts were made by Lif, Dave and Brian.

No birdies were made today.  No discs lost, one disc found by Steve on #1.
The broken bridge was totally removed.

Austin Ridge Bible Church

We had the entire group turn out today at the Austin Ridge Bible Church.  Today's players were:  Steve, Dave, Lif, Keith, Brian, Bob and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 80's, skies were mostly sunny and there was very little wind.  Course conditions were fair, it was overgrown on some fairways.  We did have the course to ourselves.

I played a little below average today.  I bogeyed several holes that I usually make par on.  Several of my drives were wild and I missed a couple of putts.  Brian had the shot of the day with a 75 foot birdie on #17

A total of seven birdies were made:  Keith(2), Rob(2), Brian(2) and Steve(1).  One disc lost, Bob into the pond on #18.  Two discs found, I found a Dx Leopard in the grass on #12 and Keith found one on #13.

Circle C

We were rained out last weekend so we were all a little rusty when we played Circle C this morning.  That's our excuse.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Lif, Dave and Heady.  Weather conditions were fantastic for the end of August.  Temperatures in the 80's, sunny skies and no wind to speak of.  It was like we were playing in May.  Course conditions were good, there was water in the creek and there lots of people on the course today.

I played a little below my average today.  I started out very well with a birdie on #1, I don't think I've ever done that before.  I thought I had a chance at an eagle but my disc hit a branch before the basket.  Steve is still the only member of the eagle club on this hole.  After my strong start I faltered after the third hole.  I did miss at least three putts that I should have made and I hit my share of trees like everyone else.  I did manage to par #11 for the first time in recent memory.

Only three birdies made today:  Steve(1), Keith(1) and Rob(1).  No discs lost but two discs found.  I found a Beast on #11 looking for Lif's disc.  Steve found a Katana in the trees on #12.
