Disc Golf 03/03/2007

mulch

The group went to the Rivery today. I arrived early today to practice. Hrm, it seems they put a tiny bit of mulch on the tee and put a stake in the ground. I wonder what is going on?

disc in tree

My first throw went high, hit a tree, and landed on top of some branches. Sigh. Now I have to look around for some rocks… John stopped by and was excited about getting his first ace.

disc stuck in board

So we wandered off to practice at hole 17 next. I like this hole. There is a tunnel that ends in a hole which goes downhill. I like to try and throw an arcing hyzer that heads off to the left and high over the short cedar trees. If you aim it right, it will curve back to the right and go right into the hole. Well, this throw didn’t curve so much and, instead, hit an abandoned shack. It must have hit just perfectly. Because the disc impaled itself on a nail!

John

John’s disc was thrown a little more to the right and found its way through a much smaller hole besides the shack.

Nick

We were going to head off when it came to 10 am. But Nick and Stephanie showed up in the nick of time (hehe, pun intended). Apparently they found some rather outdated instructions for finding this disc golf course and had to walk around to find us.

Stephanie’s disc got lost in a dormant tree. So Nick went about beating it with a dead tree limb…

new hole

It seems that all of the holes had a little layer of much put on them. But I wonder why. Are they marking them for some more permanent improvements like a concrete tee pad?

On hole 15, there is a new tee. The group wanted to use that one instead of using the old one. Unfortunately, the new one is much easier.
