Cat Hollow - Chilly Start

We went up north to play a couple of rounds at Cat Hollow this morning.  Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Lif, Chris, Donald and Heady.  It was a chilly start at 9:00AM, good thing Steve brought us Macho Tacos to keep up warm.  Temperatures were in the 30's when we started, sunny skies and a pesky south breeze was blowing.  Course conditions were great and there were lots of people enjoying the course.  We met up with Donald on the 9th hole on the first round.

I didn't have my best game today, but considering the conditions I thought I did alright. I was a little slow starting off but I picked it up some.  Keith had a very good first round and Donald had a very good second round.  Chris has perfected his flick and has shown great improvement.  It turned out to be such a nice day we decided to play a second round.

A grand total of 11 birdies were made today:  Keith(6), Donald(2), Steve(1), Lif(1) and Heady(1).  Keith had several other opportunities.  No discs lost and one disc found by Lif on #16.

Chris starts us off!

East Metro - Manor

Today was a good day to play East Metro Park in Manor.  Weather conditions were near perfect, with temperatures in the 60's, sunny skies and very little wind.  Plus, must of the undergrowth has died off!  Today's players were:  Steve, Lif, Bob, Dave, Keith, Chris and Heady.  Course conditions were good for Manor, a little muddy in some places.  There were only a couple of other groups on the course.  One of them was a large group that we just got ahead of on the first tee.

I had a pretty good round today.  I started off a little slow then was able to get off some decent drives.  I tried to play conservatively and stay out of the rough. I did have a disaster hole on #8.  Lif had a great game today with killer drives, pinpoint approaches and clutch putting.  Bob had a long birdie from about 50 feet out on #11.

Only four birdies were made today:  Bob(2), Keith(1) and Steve(1).  No discs lost and no discs found.

Lif starts us out!!
