East Metro Park - Manor

Sunday we wanted to play East Metro Park in Manor one more time before it got too overgrown.  This is a very technical course and the rough can be punishing if you have a bad throw.  So it's best to play this course before the thorns have grown too long.  Today's players were:  Steve, Bob, Keith, Dave, Lif, Mike, Donald, Jimmy and Heady.  It was a bit chilly when we started with temperatures in the lower 40's.  Skies were overcast and there was not wind to speak of.  Course conditions were good, a little muddy in places.  Only a couple of players were on the course today.

I played below my average for the course.  I kept hitting too many trees and I missed about three putts I should've made.  Lif and Dave both had 'shots of the day', each with about a 120 foot shot to save par on #1 and #7 respectively.  Both Lif and Dave had to bail out early after hole 14.

A total of nine birdies were made today:  Bob(2), Donald(2), Steve(2), Keith(1) and Mike(1).  No discs lost and at least two discs found.

Circle C - April Fool's Day

For Easter Sunday / April Fool's Day we played Circle C in South Austin.  Today's players were:  Combs, Bob, Lif, Donald, DD, Dave, Brian and Heady.  Temperatures were in the low 70's, skies were mostly cloudy and an occasional breeze was blowing.  Course conditions were good, first time we've seen water in the creek in a while.  Several other groups were on the course today, but I would not call it crowded.

I started out pretty good today, with birdies on the first two holes.  I messed up a bit on the back nine but still ended up okay.  Dave had some great drives today and some impressive putting.  DD had some really long drives today.

A total of nine birdies were made today:  Dave(3), Heady(2), DD(2), Steve(1) and Donald(1).  No discs lost but two discs found!
