In the bag and various thoughts of a middling MA2

[texasissouth]

Where do you throw a roller at Clark's Run?

I don't throw a roller, but it's just a flippy enough disc, I throw it on a decent hyzer backhand down the right gap on 8 and it flips all the way over and turns down the fairway.

Other places it gets thrown for air shots include Loriella 6 L2L and Loriella 16 L2L I believe

Gotcha. I miss having a beat-up G* Roadrunner for the same throw on that hole.

ODCC this weekend at Raptor's Roost, I'm repping Apple Valley and so excited. This and WVO were the events I kept AM status for, and I pooped the bed at WVO, there is just this left.
Bag is similar to what I threw at Franklin, except I'm gonna make sure I bring the correct Comet and the roller F2 is going in.

Ball out this weekend! Apple Valley in the house!

ODCC marks the end of my tournament year. While AV didn't quite win it all, and because of a mix-up I only played the first two rounds Saturday, I had a ball this past weekend.

I don't remember if I had set any goals this year but noteworthy accomplishments would be
1. first 1k round at Loriella and then two at WVO
2. broke 950 rated and briefly touched 960
3. putting inside the circle drastically improved and I've finally nailed down a style I like
4. I mentioned this previously, but putting on weight/muscle (gained almost 20 lbs this year)
5. Would have cashed at Loriella Pro day and WVO, but declined

Sounds like a good year! Got any set for the off season?

I'm actually strongly considering hiking the AT next year! So my ITB for that would most likely be a 120g Super Sonic

How many disc golf courses are within easy walking distance of the AT? If you're gonna walk that far, what's a few thousand extra feet?

Or hey, you're in the woods. Make up your own object course down the trail . . . :clap:

Rockland in only about 7 miles off the trail. He could probably hitch a ride too if he hits me up when he crosses 340.

I didn't realize it was that close! Would definitely have to add that to the itinerary

 

[texasissouth]

Played 27 from the white at Rockness Monster down near Durham. Very pretty course, and a fun track.
Two of the lettered holes were too gimmicky (one had a literal 15' tall basket, the other one the green was surrounded with wire to kinda of copy Hawk Hollow's Corral hole. Also some crossing fairways/close greens to pads would make this course a tournament nightmare.
The rest was great, 8/10 would play again and try the Blues.

First round in a while - Rockland shorts. I tweaked something in my neck a couple weeks ago and it's still lingering, shot a 61, which is not great. I threw in/long putted three from like 50'+ but also missed 5 inside the circle putts. It was a peak off-season round in that way.

Played Clarkes with just an Ultrastar again, I think I shot +21
I had a bad skip to a 25' missed putt on a very doable 5 on hole 8, which would have been amazing, but alas.
Also not during the round but after, I cleared the pond on my third or fourth try.

Nothing wrong with +21 with an Ultrastar at Clark's Run. I may not admit it, but I have probably done worse with my full bag.

And getting an Ultrastar across the pond is impressive, however many throws it took. I have seen videos of lots of Ultrastars thrown by big-arm folk going sploosh.

Did you play the alt tee on the pond hole during your round?

Yeah we didn't play the long tee during the round this time cause it's kind of pointless. It took me 3-4 tries and a good wind and Taylor like 30 tries to barely clear it. My first throw got too much height and turn and landed almost dead center in the water.

Nice- I didn't think any of you would make it. Did Taylor win the event? (He didn't win the Ultrastar portion of the event at Raptor's but we were playing a bunch of easily reachable holes.)

He did! He shot a 73, someone else shot a 75.

Putting with an Ultrastar is the hardest part by far.
