We were planning on playing disc golf at Cat Hollow today. But when I woke up it was raining (and fortunately turned off the sprinklers). As is was still raining at 9am, I started making calls. John was no where to be found, but Jon answered and was still game to play. We switched to Old Settlers Park because it still playable when wet.

And boy was it wet out! The tiny river was swollen and the lake had overflown its banks. Fortunately, hole one was playable. The rain had also churned up the water and turned it into a murky mess. If we threw a disc in the water, it would be likely that it would be lost. So I aimed away from the water.

It didn’t seem to me that it rained all that much at my house to account for all the water here. It rained heavily for an hour and lightly after that. In fact, it cleared up as we were playing. 2 inches of rain at most. And yet the pedestrian bridge is under water. The water was up to the pole for hole 16. And hole 17 was under water.

We played that any new water was not a hazzard. Which was lucky for us. Jon threw his disc into one of the many temporary streams. And mine skipped into the murky lake at hole 4. Fortunately, Jon saw it go in and was able to rescue it.
