Disc Golf 06/09/2007

Disc Golf sign

The group decided to play at Old Settler’s Park today before it got too hot (since there is scarcely any shade trees around). They have recently put some signage up. Also, there are signs at the park entrance for all of the sports (baseball, tennis, etc) except for disc golf. Glaring omission, I say.

Gravitt in water

We started out strong with our first shot bouncing off a tree and into the water. It was just not John’s day.

Birdie on hole 12

I had a birdie on hole 12. And on hole 9, I was almost beamed by a disc. I was out in front of the group (usually not a good thing). I heard “four.” And then “really four.” When I turn around, I see a disc about to hit me. As I duck, the disc brushes my hair!

Flood stage

You know, this new flood stage marker is quite scary, if you think about it. The mark just under the sign at the top is twenty one feet above the water level. Do they really think that the water will get that high? I mean, that is over my head on top of this dam! If it gets anywhere near that level, I will definitely not be playing disc golf. Instead, I will be building an ark…

group shot

Seven people made it out today. Two teams of two and Curt, John, and myself playing solo.

Jon in the water

Stephanie managed to throw her disc in the water. And Jon took that opportunity to go wade in the water and retrieve it. He found another disc for his efforts, but didn’t keep it.
