Disc Golf: Round Seven

oOp JoOp a LoOp! Went disc golfing with the roomie again, pretty cool. Temperature a breezy 70 degrees, partly fluffy cloudy blue skies, sun just starting to tank. Go ahead, be jealous...

It was a short round, the only really unfortunate thing about today's game. Yeppers, a quickie 9 Holes, that was all she wrote. Why? i'll tell you why... my roomie had to go to some magic show (haha sucker). On the bright side, my score looked better than his, in part thanks to the distracting phone call he couldn't seem to end. Get Off the Phone Roomie!!

But it was all good, the crisp air keeping things light, especially as Mike sailed through the air as if he owned his own guidance system. Pretty much only on the tee off though, my putting seems to be going through a rough time right now. Hole 6 would have definately been a birdie, but as it was, only a par. [pouting still about that]. Nothing special happened on this trip to Reedy Creek, and maybe that's what made it one of the best trips to date. The weather, well, by far the best one could ever wish for...i foresee more dg in the next month than in all the days since i started; i'm taking advantage of this baby. And it's nice to finally see improvement. Maybe i'm not great, and in comparison with at least one other person i know, not even good, at least i'm not sucking and traipsing through the woods seeking my Shark. Oh, but i did have to use the ole disc-spotting skills to find my Cheetah, which Kevin was playing with and hurling into the trees, bushes, wildlife, whatever was NOT in or on the fairway (don't be mad, Kievin, you know you rock). Surprisingly enough (for him, not for me), once he started following my advice and WATCHING where he was throwing the disc, he did a lot better.

So long until next time....oh, you want my score? Fine, fine, if you must know....:

Total Over Par: +10

Be the disc.

Disc Golf: Round Six

Return of the disc golf blog!

It's busy doing nothing, let me tell you. Other than going to the batting cages, i've taken back going to the gym, walking around the 'hood, reading books from the library (four in the last three weeks, almost done with a fifth) and doing yoga classes again. Oh, yeah, and playing disc golf. Recent activities do NOT include: household chores such as laundry, dusting, or doing windows, applying to graduate school, or actually starting a new career. These are all on the agenda, but not the one for today.

So two days ago i went to play dg, and wrote down my score so i could post another blog here. I did not, however, take a proper score card with me, so i just know what my final score was, not the individual holes...

Total Over Par: +26

Ah, but don't be too disappointed with this, i can still take you on a tour of my game:

It's a beautiful September day, 71 degrees Fahrenheit, birds chirping and all that jazz. I'm listening to NPR in the car on the way there, because i'm a geek like that, happy and excited about the wonderful weather and the fact i had a yoga class that night to look forward to as well. All sweet and sappy, n'est-ce pas? Then i parked the car, got out, and immediately my nostrils were assailed, ASSAILED i said, with some funky s**t smell that made me almost gag. OMG, it was bad. But i'm a trooper, so i trooped on in and flung my disc. It hit a tree. I could go on in detail like this, but i'll spare you. Around the basket, around EVERY basket, were piles and piles of new smelly fertilized mulch. Now, i like that they put so much effort into keeping the course up, but pah-leeze! I'm not blaming the mulch/poo-smell for it, but suffice it to say that the only reason my score wasn't much better was due to my pitiful i-haven't-putted-this-bad-since-i-first-started-playing putting, and two nameless holes that i botched with embarrassing inaccuracy. But the rest of the game was awesome, and this is also the best score i've posted on this blog as well, so i am so not complaining.

People were also, as usual, pleasant to meet along the way. Everyone let me play through, several of which complimented me on my tee off (but i think they were relative newbies, because otherwise my throws were really not that impressive). And i want to stay honest, so i'll confess....

In an effort to make up for those idiot-holes, i played Captain's Choice the last few holes. Did i mention i was playing alone? haha. I had three discs with me, Mike the Shark and a nice Sidewinder (that i CAN get to curve right easily, wahoo!), and my favorite blue putter. So maybe my score isn't the best ever, but man did i have fun. Yowzahh!

Be the disc.
