I hit 300 Saturday, and the wind was light. The wind sucked today 25mph +.

I see, i love playing in strong wind though, if you can get it under your disc you can really add some big dMidnightbiker said:
Darn, almost hit my first ace for the 2nd time this week. The first was a few days ago, 240ft. hole, hit the chains, and it spit through the other side. The 2nd was today, short hole at 190ft., hit the chains but a little too far to the left side, so it flew through. Hope my luck lands me one soon.

Good: played pretty well in the Turkey Shoot this past Saturday...didn't cash, but won $82 in the ace pot throw-off
Bad: I owed money to the guys I traveled with, so my $82 turned into $12 almost immediately :lol:
Ugly: Lost my champ whippet-x while practicing spike anhyzer distance shots
:x

Good- I think I figured out my putting problem. I was playing a duece or die course and was -2 after 12 then birdied the last 6 to end up -8, which included 2 60ft putts and a deuce on a 460 footer

Good: A lit golf course around here agreed to let us set up a temp 9 holer so everyone can play at night
bad: threw a thumber with my champ Xcal that slowly rolled into the water.
Ugly: the drop-off at that bank, I am not seeing that disc again.

Good: Just finished assembling our last 4 home-made baskets for the 9 hole course we've been setting up at my dad's house.
Bad: Lots of small trees still have to be cleared for 2 of the holes before they are playable.
Ugly: The broken gear on my dad's chainsaw that has to be replaced before we can clear said trees.

I wouldn't call a 460' hole a deuce or die, but to each his own.

Well, that's the one hole that's 3 job. I did bust an awesome roller, which I never do.

The good: pic below. I decided to get a little searching in before the lakes froze.
The bad: The lakes froze soon after. No more for a while.

Nice grab! You've still got some time to search yet though...
Once they freeze, wait till there's about 2-3" of CLEAR ice. Walk around on a sunny day, look down, chip a hole & get a disc.

In theory that would work, except that I find these in at least 3' of water. I may try again tomorrow. It was warm enough today the ice probably melted.

Works great and I've done it. Gets cold w/ your arm (good for about 3' deep), but go get one of those old-person grabber extend-an-arm contraptions (and bring a towel or two if you do it).

Good: Took 3rd at the B tier I just played
Bad: First round put me out of reach of first
Ugly: Second round I was comparing how I was playing to the guy who was in first after the first round. I was keeping track to myself of his score relative to mine, and I should've finished 3-4 strokes better than him...yet the scorecard - which was never given to me to put my initials on after the round, has him 1 stroke better than me.
Either way it wouldn't have put me in 2nd, but that's seriously some crap.

Good: Played a round a temp course today with former world-champ Steve Wisecup. It was really eye-opening to see how little effort he could put into his rollers/big distance anhyzers and the distances that ensued. I was also reminded that when throwing a drive, it's not just about getting down the distance, but it also matters how you get there - that is, how important it is to evaluate the risk/reward of the lines you're considering and not just always go straight at the pin. Also, we got our new bag tags for 2009 and I drew #1!
The bad: Lost my perfectly beat Z-Predator in the lake. Bummer.
the ugly: My score! +11 for 18 holes? Even on a course I've never played, which is slightly longer than what I'm used to, it's a disappointing score. Hole lengths don't matter when you're giving up strokes inside 100' ! Silver lining? Lot's to work on..

Bad: absolutely TANKED at a one-day B-Tier this past weekend! 25mph sustained wind with gusts around 40-45mph make me look like a first-timer...my first round was rated 899, which put me in last place
I managed to have a 2nd round that was only a slightly below mediocre, and ended up in 8th from last...better than dead last I guess
Ugly: some of the nasty rolls that the wind was causing! I had one that cleared an OB creek by at least 70-80' then got picked up and rolled all the way back into the water. Another player had a disc that was laying flat on the ground that got picked up by the wind and started rolling...ended up a good 150' back from where it was sitting. Ridiculous!
Good: bought some sweet discs from a buddy of mine who doesn't play anymore....CE Firebird FX, Big Bird Ranch Roc, and a Ching Roc (all in good shape) for $20
Moral of the story...learn to putt in the wind!!!
