My July 2021 Road Trip Recap

[cox3]

Here is a list of the courses that I played on my road trip during July of 2021. I'm not sure if anyone has ever played a larger collection of quality and world class courses in a single month in the history of disc golf. I would love to hear about any other contenders. I'll probably make some follow up posts with my favorite/best courses from the trip, my best rounds of the trip, etc. This post is really just a list. If anyone has any other "list ideas", questions, comments, etc., please feel free to share. Thanks for viewing!

That makes my 60 some courses this year like child's play.

 

[BogeyNoMore]

Day-um!

And just think, my round with you at Stoney Hill was #4 on the list. I enjoyed it very much! Thanks for having me!

I've got like 400 new courses in 2021. About 650 new ones since March 2020 (beginning of Covid). I've had a lot of extra time on my hands...

I may be done for a while now though...

 

[air show]

Question... did you see an improvement in your play after your road trip?

 

[DavidSauls]

And just think, my round with you at Stoney Hill was #4 on the list. I enjoyed it very much! Thanks for having me!

Wow. We built the kind of course we like to play, and are always pleased to hear somebody else enjoyed it, too.

 

[cox3]

Question... did you see an improvement in your play after your road trip?

I always start playing extremely well when I'm playing all day, every day-- until I reach exhaustion and my legs stop operating at 100%. That's when I try to take a day off or at least take a light day so I can get back closer to 100% physically. I don't enjoy playing awesome courses and not playing well so I try to play somewhere near my best as much as I can. Some of my best rounds are "second wind" rounds at the end of a long day of playing. It goes away pretty quickly too though. I didn't play from Saturday morning until this evening and I played pretty awful today after sitting at a desk on a computer all day for 3 days.

 

[azplaya25]

What happened on Sunday, July 11th? Just ice your arm all day?

 

[cox3]

What happened on Sunday, July 11th? Just ice your arm all day?

Ha. Just a rest day. Gear up for the second leg of the trip. Had already played everything in the Charlotte area. Gotta do laundry sometimes too. I never have arm problems though-- it's always just resting my legs for me. They get pretty jello after going all day for more than a few days consecutively.

Wow. We built the kind of course we like to play, and are always pleased to hear somebody else enjoyed it, too.

For whatever it's worth, yours is one I am truly itching to play, sir. On my personal list of must-play courses in the Carolinas, I put Stoney Hill right at the top. Thought it would happen about two years ago, then...Doo-Doo Transpired.

If you're still going to have the Battle in October, that might be the perfect opportunity, in fact. You're not even two hours from me! Unforgivable dereliction of my DG Duty...

Carry on, gents. Sorry!

We're doing The Battle twice, to meeting demand -- one weekend in late October, another in early November.

 

[Olorin]

That is an amazing list! You really cranked out the courses in my stompin' grounds of NC and VA courses. Well done, sir!

And I seriously doubt that anyone has played that many courses in such a short amount of time.

I wish that I had known you were in Charlotte and could have gotten in a round with you, but you kept quite the pace, so meeting up with people would probably slow you down. I may have had trouble just keeping up with your pace for 1 course!

Question: Did you have a traveling partner or just do this all by yourself?

 

[Olorin]

Q: What was the highest number of holes that you played in 1 day?
