I played a couple of rounds of disc golf today. I met my friend this morning and we played the Red course off the Green tee pads. It is the same course and pads we will play on this Sunday in the tournament.
I managed to get a +1 to my friend's +7.
It was kind of snowy out on the disc golf course today:
Luckily it was not deep enough to hide the discs. It was a bit crusty and the discs tended to skip a bit or land on top of the snow.
Hole one on the Blue course:
This has been a bit of a troublemaker hole for me. There is out-of-bounds on both sides - a road on the left and a path on the right. The basket is around four hundred feet downhill and over the top of the rise you see in front.
Hitting the gap is difficult and a tree kick can go a long way. Even a fairway or midrange disc gains a lot of speed throwing downhill. This is where I lost my fairway disc a few days ago. It made it past the rise but hyzered out into a bunch of ferns just to the right of the top of the rise. (On a right-hand forehand throw.)
Today I managed to make par using a putter disc off the tee. It cleared the top of the hill and managed to stay straight enough to get mostly down the other side.
I looked a bit for the disc I lost a few days ago but could not find it. While I was looking a player came through and I suggested we play together. It always helps to have someone else spot where throws go when you are playing in the woods.
We enjoyed playing together and he ended up beating me by one throw. I played better on the course than I usually do so I was happy.
I think I will rest up tomorrow, I hope I am still ambulatory, lol.
