Had a nice windy round yesterday. Got out to Whiteford-StoneCo in Whiteford Michigan. The course plays particularly nasty in the wind, pretty much surrounded by a mixture of farmland and quarries, and not very wooded itself.
Met up with my buddy Evan who drove down from Ypsi, and played some Nassau $1-$1-$1. By coincidence our friend Max showed up and joined us (also by coincidence - I think the only person in our local disc golf scene who ran in high school with both of us, though Evan and I didn't run in the same years ever).
Had a pretty sound round of golf. Shot a 61. UDisc calls it a 204, which I think is similar to a 900, but UDisc wasn't out there in the wind yesterday lol. Still, not a fantastic round, probably wasn't really close to 950. 930 range? I did miss a few putts that even in the wind I shouldn't be missing, and I threw a few shots out of bounds going a bit too aggressive on the longest par 3's on the course, which both have peninsula greens. I was happy though, in both cases, to manage to push the OB on the deep side. Good for this early in the season.
Even more positive was a total comfort with the forehand. I hurt the shoulder pretty bad last season and spent months at a time resting it, breaking it out only for a couple of weekends, and it was sore throughout. I've been making sure to stretch it and really work on extending range of motion and useful range of motion this winter. It was still sore the first few times out recently, but I think it was just knocking rust off of the shot as I only played a few rounds from the start of November through end January. No pain, no soreness, no stiffness, feels great today.
I definitely took some time after the round to get in a stretch and do a few different lighter-weight lifts with bar and dumbbells to try to bring everything back together. I'm going to try to keep that going.
