MetCenter

 It was a cool, gloomy morning for disc golf at the MetCenter.  Today's players were:  Steve, Lif, Dave, Keith, Chris, Darden and Heady.  Temperatures were in the upper 40's and mostly cloudy skies.  At least the wind was not blowing.  Course conditions were fair.  A lot of the vegetation has died back from the recent freezes.  There were plenty of other players on the course, we let several groups play through.

I am still struggling with power and control, I'm surprised my score was not worse.  It was actually better than the last time we played.  My putting was my bright spot today, I made several that were outside my comfort zone.  Chris and Steve both had their drives working today and ended with good scores.  Lif had some fine approach shots, parking his disc.  

There  were six birdies made today:  Steve(3), Chris(2) and Lif(1).  No discs lost and two discs found.

Cold Cat Hollow

It was a cold morning at Brushy Creek (aka Cat Hollow) this morning.   Thanks for Steve for bringing (and Lif for buying) the Macho Tacos to keep our insides warm.  Today's players were:  Steve, Lif, Dave, Keith, Chris and Heady.  It was cold, temperatures in the mid 30's when we started with a north wind of 10mph.  At least the sun was shining.  Course conditions were good and there were a fair number of other players on the course.

Another dismal day for me.  Bad control and no power.  I did manage a few good throws but I can't get my fine touch back.  Bulky clothing and numb fingers did not help.  We all got off to a slow start.  Chris had a pretty good round but faded on the last two holes.  Steve had some interesting drives, he hit the 'Candy Cane' on #10 and the power line on #15.

Only three birdies made today:  Steve(2) and Chris(1).  No discs lost and one disc found by Lif on the first hole (belongs to Frank).

Roy G. - Large Group and a Long Course

 We had a large turnout at 9:00 this morning at the ever challenging Roy G. Guerrero course.  The players today were:  Steve, Big Dave, Lif, Chris, Keith, Darden, Bob!, Mark (new guy) and Heady.  This was Mark's first time playing disc golf and Lif thought it was a good idea to have him learn on the hardest course in Austin.  Temperatures were a little cool, in the low 60's, partly sunny skies and a pesky breeze was blowing.  Course conditions were fair, lots of pedestrians wandering about, also the homeless camps have sprung up again around holes #16 and #17.  Happy Birthday to Big Dave!

Our group was so large we decided to split into two groups.  I played with Dave, Keith and Darden. I played about my average as of late.  Got some good throws and then some bad ones.  Other than hole #3, my approach shots let me down and cost me several strokes.  Keith had the same problem.  

Only one birdie made today and that was a circus shot by Darden on #13.  No discs found and one disc split in two!

Circle C - Steve and Chris

 Chris and Steve had some  Macho Tacos and headed over to Circle C for a round.  They had the course all to ourselves and there was no wind.  Since it got down into the 20s last night the frost flowers were out. When we were finishing up on 18 Steve saw a disc about 50 feet down the creek away from the hole.  Steve grabbed the disc,  it but it was broken but looky whose name was on it!
