My friends and I played a heavily wooded eighteen-hole course today. It was a bit muddy and footing was challenging at times. Other than that conditions were nice with just a bit of rain at the start of the round.
I managed a win with scores of +12, +15, and, +25. We were all struggling a bit with the tight gaps and close trees. When you're used to playing the more open courses it can be difficult to play the tightly wooded ones.
I was throwing a putter off the tee again on some of the holes and that seemed to help with controlling the fade. I'm not used to throwing a putter hard but I'm getting a bit better at it. Ever since I lost the first Mantra disc on a big tree kick I've realized how badly a fast tree hit can go. At least with a slower-moving putter disc, it does not kick as far if something goes wrong.
Divergent discs make a fairway disc out of a floppy soft plastic blend. I've been wanting to try that one out and I might pick one up at the Pro Shop if they still have some and I win some scrip.
It was mossy, rainy, and muddy out on the disc golf course today:
A hawk was watching us from the treetops:
