In the bag and various thoughts of a middling MA2

36 at Harmon Hills,
only kept score on the front 9 and shot a -4, which is pretty good considering I'm super rusty as that ulti lid round was the last round I've played.

Hey, I was out at Seneca with the dog yesterday. Course was set up pretty long, so "five over" ain't bad.

Looks like you carry a decent number of overstable discs. Do you find that you use them much at a course like Seneca, or are they more for aerobic benefit?

 

[casmith175]

Seneca is playing real long right now... for better or worse.

Can confirm hole 13 he got unlucky with two OBs. Threw 3 shots total to take a 5 :wall:

Well two of my D1s are actually very flippy, and the F1 is also pretty straight. I am comfortable playing FH or BH for most shots so I can cheat by throwing overstable on the majority of holes I feel like.

Generally I don't throw enough drivers in general to be comfortable shaping a lot of fun lines with them, so if I need a specific shape I'll throw a fairway.

Then a round on Monday at Giles L2L, that course is playing the easiest it ever had, I shot a +5 and that was with two shots I would never have attempted in a serious round that went OB, and a three putt and like 5 c1x misses

I'm gonna begin hiking the AT on April 15th, so I have been spending most of my free time prepping for that. If anyone is next to the trail and wants to play or hike, send me a PM or drop a comment.
In the bag:
Lot of stuff to live and hike

I get the vast majority of my practice with a 129 Supersonic.

 

[Monocacy]

Good luck with the AT! Could probably make a heckuva 2,000 mile long object course . . .

Otherwise I'm about 20 minutes from Harper's Ferry if you need a disc golf fix in MD.

First round since returning from my AT Odyssey. Took longer than expected as I stress fractured a metatarsal after 240 miles, took 7 weeks off, flipped up 740 miles, then did that section southbound after Katahdin. Then went to grandmother's funeral afterwards, and now I have COVID...
Anyway, tons of shots at Spilman

Round at Rockland Shorts in like 20* weather. I'm definitely rusty, shot a 64, which is a little under 900 rated I think. Overall unspectacular round but I did somehow park 18 for an easy 2 lol. Putting was also shockingly solid.

45! Holes at Clarke's Run. That course looks different than last time I was there - I hadn't seen the new tee nor basket for 4, and hadn't seen the long pin for 6. Shot a 65 playing 4 short and 66 playing 4 long. Did 6 short both times. My friend gave me a couple FX-2's so I'm trying them out as my firebird + 10 spd control driver. I like the flight but man they hurt to throw sometimes.

3x PA3 (big putt so what)

45 holes at Clarks only insane people would do that

Discmas this past weekend so played Brantwood, Iron Hill Golds, and Lum pond, and none of them particularly well. 9 person Mob golf on Iron Hill golds was pretty hilarious.
Threw some (bag varied wildly)
D1s
Forces
Destroyers
Gateway Ninja, Dismas gift to me was one of the original illegal ones, the rim is so wide it's so uncomfortable to throw.

I shot an 84 at Iron Hill, picking up the majority of my strokes on the front nine and shooting +1 on the back (Birdies on 10 and 15)
Then shot a +5 at Lums pond which was just hilariously poor golf.

 

[biscoe]

9 person mob golf on Iron Hill Gold left you daylight enough to do something else?

You still dwelling in bucolic Marshall VA?

Nah we did one round a day and took advantage of the holiday weekend. Finished Iron Hill 'round dusk.

Still in the middle of nowhere, contemplating moving this year, maybe to Richmond or Asheville.

Shot either even or +1 through 18 and then played the front 9 again and played much better.
Been liking the FX-2 and getting used to the sharpness, reminds me of a good predator flight on backhand but with the ability to be used forehand (I can't forehand preds because of the microbead).
Changed my grip some recently to mirror Avery Jenkins thumb press and it's done wonders to keep the disc nose down, been driving decently far recently.

 

[texasissouth]

two ish rounds at Spilman
round 1, for some reason I decided it would be fun to shoot a video about a lid shoot out since the Glitch is getting so much airplay in the disc golf world. I did Glitch vs DX Polecat vs Supersonic only (except c1 putting). I have a ton of editing to do.

Then I did an actual round while tired from the video with normal discs
D1
Trident
F1
Gazelle
Comet

Gazelle is always fun to throw and actually crazy long for it's speed rating. A5 is threatening to kick Breakers out of my bag even though they've been there forever.

 

[texasissouth]

Warmup at Rockland before the season starts at Loriella tomorrow bright and early. I shot I think a 53? Nabbed 6, 8, 10, 12, 17 and bogey'd 13 and 15. I might have missed a number here or there but overall pretty decent.

Loriella Challenge today. Shot pretty well, came in second by one stroke after a hard-charging second round.
Wind was definitely a factor, but my putting overall was pretty solid. Even ones I missed went in a few times haha.
