John apparently wanted to set up some light-gaming church function rather than playing disc golf… Oh well. Old Settlers park was almost back to normal. The fencing was taken down. Although there were muddy tracks everywhere… which dried to a concrete-like consistency. We’ll see if the buffalo grass recovers from that.
Hole 5 was back in place thankfully. (They should have oriented the number facing the tee). Today, I felt like I was throwing longer than average. Certinally, I would have been in competition with Gravitt had he played.
On hole 10, my first throw landed close to the basket. Sadly, my second shot just hit the basket. So close…
On hole 11b, I encountered another group of players who were going along a different route. When I talked to them, they said that they were playing the “winter course”. Supposedly, you only play on one side of the lake and you play the holes backward. I guess, for example, from the somewhere near the goal of hole 12 to basket of hole 11b.
And of course they watched me throw. Thankfully, I threw my best throw eva there. It went over the trees and landed close to the goal. Close enough to birdie it!
On hole 12, my first throw landed 20 feet past the goal. Which was unexpected. I spent 10 minutes looking for it. On hole 13, my 80′ approach shot hit the goal. On hole 15, it was even worse. My first throw miraculously threw through the big tree and missed hitting it (there are no trees, there are no trees, …). Which was nice. However, I must have spent another 10 minutes trying to find a bright red disc in the middle of a light green bowl. I walked around for a while trying to figure out where in the hell it could have gone. Thankfully, I found it much farther to the left than I thought likely. After that, I skipped holes 16 and 17 and finshing with a par for 18.
