North Town - Another Day in the Sun

 We played North Town this morning in beautiful Pflugerville.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Lif and Heady.  Keith brought his therapy dog, Wilbur, who was a great comfort.  Course conditions were good, much of the vegetation has died down from the recent freezes.  Some of the fairways were a little damp in places.  There were many other players on the course.

I played a little better than my average for this course.  I was getting some really long drives today, I don't know what got into me.  I started with two long throws on long #1 and had a outside chance at par.  On #16 I drove about 25 feet past the basket, when I want to hit a tree I never do.  I had a couple of disaster holes and choked on a few putts.  I did make a few putts that were well outside my comfort zone. 

A total of six birdies were made today:  Steve(2), Keith(2), Lif(1) and Heady(1).  No discs lost and one disc found.  Steve was able to retrieve a Champion Leopard from the pond on #12.

Circle C - Cold Saturday Round

Since the weather tomorrow if supposed to be terrible, cold and rainy, we decided to play a Saturday round, when it was just plain cold.  Today's player's were: Steve, Lif, Chris and Heady.  Temperatures were in the 30's when we started, but the sun was shining and the wind was not blowing.  There were a few other hearty souls on the course today.

None of us had a stellar day today, I think the cold had a lot to do with it.  I had some very good throws often followed by some very bad throws. A couple of holes were disasters.  I did had a few chances for birdies but was unable to convert.  Only one birdie was made today and that was by Steve.  Several other chances for birdies were missed today.  Chris had a great drive on #9, just before the top level, but clanked his birdie. Lif had a rare birdie shot on #16 after his second shot, a flick, turned over and rolled the length of the fairway.  Steve had a great drive on #17 but missed his birdie putt wide.  Chris made par or the difficult #18.

Flying Armadillo - Been a long time

 It's been a long time since we've played the Flying Armadillo in San Marcos.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Lif, Chris and Heady.  It was a little cool when we started, with temperatures in the 50's  The sun was shining and a south wind warmed it up during the round.  Course conditions were good, a little damp in places from the recent rains.  There were lots of other players on the course.

 There were a total of five birdies made today, each of us had one!  No discs lost and no discs found.
