Good luck! It's tournament time. I'm guaranteed 2 more matches in the matchplay bracket. Then 2 day strokeplay next weekend, and club championship 2 weeks after that. I guess I won't be doing any fishing anytime soon. I'm hoping I can build up enough winnings to go on a shopping spree in the proshop lol.
Sandbagger! Just kidding. Congrats Mike. I (3 hncp) shot 80, 81 this weekend to finish second in my flight by 1 stroke. I had to take an unplayable and a lost ball Sunday and it cost me. I'll feel better when I start spending that prize money though.
I played in another tournament this past weekend. This one was just north of Durango, Colorado. I didn't play very well, but I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
I probably didn't play well because I was too busy enjoying the scenery.
Float from 10-13 hncp, good 10, better 13, if i hit 14 -15 best around LOL, but never really take it too seriously, well sometimes won City B Flight 82, 82, 78 not bad. Seems like the pressure rounds play tons better.
THE SNOW IS MELTED AND THE COURSE IS OPEN AGAIN!!!!!!! Yeah I'm yelling, sorry. I'm playing flog(golf) tomorrow. Got myself a new(to me) set of irons this winter. Swwwwweeeeeet set of Mizuno MP-32s. I went blades because I'm a lunatic. Getty up boys it's go time. I have to defend my club champion title this year.
But I'll put a solid $1k on the longest drive... but, no, seriously, $1k...
I would love to take you up on that, but I think most of my serious playing days are behind me. I have some nerve and back problems that may well be sidelining me, unless I can find someone that can help me get cured. In my early-mid 20's I was a zero hdcp. I was a 6 hdcp last year but probably should have been 10.(formula makes it hard for that hdcp number to go up apparently). My longest drive on a course was 380, wind aided, with a circa 1998 driver. But like I said, those days are behind me now.
I like disc golf but haven't invested in my own discs, yet. I like that all the courses I know about are free. I'm a reformed golfer...it got too expensive when I first got married to keep up my 3x a week habit so I quit pretty much cold turkey. Finally sold my clubs a few years ago after only going to the range a couple of times in 8 or 9 years and hitting the links once in that time.
Why don't I just tell you how far I drive it out here at a mile above sea level and then you send me 5 bucks? Sound like a deal?
Well???? We're waiting!!!!
Not really all that far, I'm just a wee lad. Definitely not that far right now because it's cold and wet. Buuuut, in the dead of summer I can pretty consistently hit it in the 275 to 300 range. I apparently gained 10 pounds this winter, maybe that will help.
Any one of the socal brothers or southwest borthers for that matter play Pelican Hill in Newport? I am heading down there late spring and wanted to know if anyone has played it. Read the reviews but wanted a first hand account.
Our pro/scratch matchplay bracket started this week. I drew the club champion from 2 years ago. Played him yesterday and the match went 18 holes. I won 1 up and advanced to the second round. I also have a wicked sunburn.

That's awesome (except the sunburn!). Congratulations. Hope you do well the rest of the tournament!

Seriously, I love golf not much of a player. I'm happy to break 100 but its nice to get out there.
I once shot a 90. But I cheated.
