Disc Golf: December 2007 Archives
I had a good practice throw on hole 3. Close enough for a birdie.
The wind was brutal today! And the discs performed strangely, if they flew on target at all.
With our third meeting of the meetup group, no one else showed up. Not too surprising, I guess. The meetup people are rather flakey. John started off by throwing his second throw into the tree...
How odd. Someone parked their car in the middle of the field. I wonder why?
This ball of Mistletoe is quite heavy! It is almost going to rip that branch down. John and I maintained our separate ways around that obstacle.
On hole 8, I had a great throw! But could not convert it into a birdie.
I had my first almost ace today at the Lutheran Church on hole 3. My throw hit the chains of the basket and bounced out. Wah! So close. I wonder if a double set of chains would have grabbed that disc?
Today was the second week of the meetup disc golf. And we went to the same place again! Sigh. There are many, many disc golf courses around Austin. Why keep coming to the same place? I wanted to go down to Pease, but John was tied to Cat Hollow.
Supposedly, someone was supposed to show up. But they never did. So we played alone. I had a pretty good throw on hole 2.
John created another meetup group for disc golf. I guess that the RRGDG group fell apart for him. This has some pros and cons. The pros are I know everyone in RRGDG and they are all good disc golfers. The cons are this meetup group has a lot of people who only come one time or they are very new to disc golf.
Today, we had Robin who is new to disc golf and a dam inspector (and coincidently, news8austin is running an expose on the state of our dams) and Tony who has been playing disc golf for a while and prefers to run the course while playing.
Afterwards, we went to Chuy's for lunch.
John and I played at the Old Settler's Park Winter course. But we didn't have enough time to finish it. First Friday Fluff was on later tonight and John had to leave early to prepare.
