I had a wonderful tournament round today. The weather was nice for this time of year and I scored a +1 on the eighteen-hole round. I think this is better than or close to my best tournament round on the red tee pads.
Next week we are playing the red/green tee pads or the red course with the green tee pads on the longer par four holes. In the past, I did not like the location and size of the green tee pads but they have made a lot of improvements. I'm looking forward to playing next week.
I ended up getting a new Thought Space Ethos Mantra disc using scrip that I won from past tournaments. So far it seems a bit more stable than the Mantra disc that I lost. It is hard to tell from a couple of throws though.
I lost my Insanity disc on the Blue Course after the tournament. I was trying to figure out a good throw on the long downhill tree-lined approach. I think next time I will try a throwing putter because any tree hits go all over the place and even if you make the initial gap a fairway disc can fade too much. I ended up having my disc fade into a big patch of ferns. I thought I could find it easily but that was not the case. I did end up finding someone else's disc and turned it in at the Pro Shop.
Hopefully, my Insanity disc or Mantra disc will turn up. The people who play at the tournaments are good about returning discs so there is some hope of recovery. Sometimes it takes a few months though.
I lost a couple of understable fairway drivers recently. I tend to lose that type of disc the most although I've had a run of bad luck playing wooded courses.
