Circle C - Beautiful November Day

We had the entire group today to play Circle C in South Austin.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Dave, Lif, Brian, BOB and myself.  Weather condition were just about perfect.  Temperatures were in the 60's when we started, no wind and mostly sunny skies.  Course conditions were a little muddy and the creek was dry.

I started out poorly, making bogey on the first two holes.  I improved some throughout the day, I was never satisfied with my drives, at least my putting was working today.  I don't recall missing a putt that I should have made.  I ended up a little below my average for this course.

Only four birdies were made today:  Steve(2), Keith(1) and BOB(1).  No discs lost and no discs found.  Bob took some of the better photos below.

Zilker Park - Let's Play Two in Standard Time

After playing two of the hardest courses in the county we decided to play one of the easiest courses, Zilker Park.  Temperatures were in the 70's, no wind and cloudy skies.  There was a threat of rain, which was another reason we wanted to play this course.  It is easy to get out of in case the skies opened up.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Dave, Lif and myself.  Course conditions were good and there were a lot of players on the course, but we did not have to wait on anybody.

I played pretty well today.  My drives, for the most part were good.  Even with poor drives you can make it up with a good second shot.  My approach shots were spot on and my putting was almost perfect.  I only missed one putt today.  Actually, we all played very well today.  The extra hour of sleep must have helped.

There were 14 birdies on the first round and 13 birdies on the second round.  No discs lost and no discs found.

Roy G. Guerrero

After playing a difficult course last week in Manor we played an even more difficult course this week, Roy G. Guerrero.  Today's players were:  Combs, Dave, Keith, BOB and Heady.  It was a warm day for the end of October with temperatures in the 80's.  Sunny skies and no wind.  Several other groups were on the course.  Course conditions were good.

This course is very unforgiving, the holes are very long and the trees come into play on every hole.  If you make a mistake then you can forget about making par.  I can't believe there is not a par 5 on this course. 

Keith had a really good round today.  His drives were long and straight, his approach shots were spot on and his putting was accurate.  He made par on the long #5 and went top shelf for par on #10. 

I played about average today.  I started out with decent drives and I my putting was on target.  If only I could avoid hitting the trees.

No birdies today.  No discs lost and no discs found.

Steve starts us off.  Driving into the mist.
