Myself, IOS and Derek drove on down to Oroville for some Disc Golf at Riverbend Disc Golf park. Before that though I had to stop off at Play it again sports who I must say has a WAY better selection of discs than Sports LTD.
I picked myself up a DX Plastic Valkyrie, DX Plastic Starfire (again) and a discounted Discraft Cyclone. I haven't thrown a Cyclone in like 5 years.
Alright here we go:
In the bag and actually used during the round:
DX Starfire
DX Valkyrie
Discraft Cyclone
DX Firebird
DX Beast
DX Teebird (168 g)
Discraft Soft Challenger
We began with a few warm up holes on the front course.
1-Bogey
2-Birdie
3-Par
4-Par
7-Par
And the round began
Hole 10- Par. Tomahawk shot with the firebird as usual, didn't end up on top of the hill and got my shot within 20 feet, then I hit the chains squarely and the disc rimmed out. Horrible break to start the round.
Hole 11- Par. Lucky break on the approach shot and made the comeback putt.
HOle 12- Bogey.(+1) My forehand approach shot sailed on me and I hit the tree trunk that crosses the fairway. I don't normally do that.
Hole 13- Birdie (E) Good forehand with the starfire landed within 15 feet.
Hole 14- Par. Even though this is my hole, I went for the safe shot of a tomahawk, something we've been testing out lately. However it released from my hand too far to the left and hit some branches.
Hole 15- Par. Missed Birdie oppertunity within 20 feet
Hole 16- Par. Forehand Beast shot turned left like I wanted it to but no luck and hit a tree way up top. Approach shot was less than solid but I made up for it with a huge par save from about 20 feet.
Hole 17- Bogey (+1) Nothing to say here other than I just plain missed a near tap in par. It was uphill but no excuses, just a bad shot.
Hole 18- Par. Too big of a hyzer shot and my disc came up short.
Back 9 score- +1 (1 Birdie,6 pars,2 bogeys)
Man, if I can't get under par on the back 9, it doesn't look good.
Hole 1- Par- I threw my Valkyrie and it flew very straight but too far to the right. Derek's shot landed in a tree more than six feet up and he had to take a penalty stroke.
Hole 2- Par- I tryed a tomahawk shot again but I didn't get it high enough and it hit some bushes. I thought my shot was way worse than it actually ended up being.
Hole 3- Par. Man did I have my second best drive ever off of this tee. I forehanded my Valkyrie and damn if it didn't fly straighter than anything in my bag. I had a jump putt and a good run but no dice.
Hole 4- Par. That left pin position is much more difficult than the other one. Threw my starfire with a hyzer shot, I got lucky didn't hit any trees and landed on the left of the pin. forehand approach with the starfire as well went about 12 feet past that I converted.
Hole 5- Bogey.(+2) Threw my Cyclone and I thought it looked good but I underestimated that I was throwing into a headwind and it came up way short and then a bad kick off the rocks made for a longer approach shot. Still landed within about 10 feet but missed the putt. Frusterating. rrr...
(((enter the hell hole zone)))
Discs lost- 5 Penalty shots taken- 5+ who knows???
Hole 6- Par. Threw my 162 gram TeeBird but it left my hand way right and didn't come back much. I got lucky though and landed in an open area and my approach shot was very good.
Hole 7- Par. I played it safe and just threw a tomahawk hoping to land in the fairway. This hole must have gotten inside my head cause for the first time I ever remember I shanked a tomahawk left, and I thought "great there goes another one" but alas I guess my disc turned over and landed in a clearing near the fairway. Up and Down for par. We all agree that 7 is the 1 most difficult hole to birdie on the course.
Hole 8- Bogey. +3 The Starfire slipped out of my hand way early and went right and not very far. I struggled to give myself any sort of par save but it was too late.
Hole 9- Par. Threw a forehand Valkyrie but too much hyzer left me to the right and an awkward approach shot with no route in to the basket. I even took extra time to concider my options because of how I birdied this one to finish last time. No route though.
Front 9- +2 7 Pars, 2 Bogeys
Final Scores:
IOS- +1
Derek- +4
Duffy- +3
Wind was a factor today and birdies were few and far between.
There's a bunch of pics up as we are testing out IOS' new digital camera. Some of them turned out pretty good.
Until next Wednesday..
