Austin Ridge Bible Church - Christmas Eve

Since it was Christmas Eve, we thought that it was fitting to play a round at the Church.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Dave, Bob and myself.  Weather conditions were very nice for the end of December.  Temperatures were in the mid 70's, mostly cloudy skies and not much wind.  It was very humid, some members of the group were soaked in sweat.  Course conditions were pretty good.  It looks like they mowed some of the fairways recently.  Very few other players on the course.

I played alright for the second week in a row.  I managed to avoid hitting the trees.  I had a good front nine, although I flat out choked on a couple of putts.  Steve had a pretty good round with birdies on holes #2, #4 and #5.  All very difficult holes. 

A total of six birdies were made today:  Steve(3), Heady(1), Bob(1) and Dave(1).  No discs found, one disc lost by Bob, into the pond on #18.

Circle C - Saturday Round

It was a real no brainer.  The forecast for Saturday was misty but mild in the morning, turning sunny with a high of 80 degrees.  The forecast for Sunday was very windy with a tee off temperature of 24 degrees.  So we chose Saturday to play a round at the Circle C.  The player's were Steve, Dave, Lif, Bob, Keith and Heady.  Keith's daughter, Kalyn, was in town from Florida and she joined us to observe our play.  The weather was a little misty and cool when we started but it warmed up to 70's and the sun was breaking out when we finished.  Course conditions were good and there were  a few other players on the course.

I had one of my better rounds for this course.  It was such a welcome change from last week.  I don't play as well in cold with all the bulky clothing.  My drives were long and straight, my approach shots were close enough and my putts were dead on accurate.  I only had a handful of bad throws, but got some tree love on a couple of them to bail me out.  I scored a birdie on #15 with a 40 footer. 

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

Lif starts us off!  Roscoe stands by.

If the object of the game was to place your disc between two stumps, then Lif would win the gold medal.

North Town - Pflugerville

We had to cancel last week because of bad weather.  This week we played over in Pflugerville at the North Town Disc Golf Course.  Weather conditions were only slightly improved. When we started the temperatures were in the 50's and there was fog and mist.  Later in the round, the weather improved a little but then the wind kicked up.   Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Dave, Bob, Lif, Steve (Lif's friend) and myself.  Course conditions were fair, a little soggy.  A few other groups were on the course today.

I could not get it going today. I don't know if it was the rust of not playing for two weeks or the damp weather and long sleeves.  I was launching my drives, my approach shots were wild and I missed a couple of putts.  I had as many pars as I did birdies.  Not one of my better days.  Steve Combs had the shot of the day, a birdie from about 90 feet out on hole 16.

A total of  11 birdies were made today:  Combs(4), Heady(2), Steve(2), Lif(1), Keith(1) and Dave(1).  No discs found but two discs lost by Bob and Rob on #12.  Bob took all the really good pictures below.
