I played my "best" round today, a -7 at
Pleasant Hill DGC in Scarborough, Maine (was in the area on business). I place best in parentheses because it was a bit hard to judge for a few reasons. First and foremost, as many reviewers mention, I don't agree with the par ratings for the holes. If I adjust some of the pars to what I think would be a fair set of "red tees" for a player of my ability, I think I can still fairly say I shot a below par round, maybe a -1 or -2, which would still constitute my lowest score over 18. But this was also the first truly open course I've played, so I have a hard time judging it against rounds played at other courses.
All that said, I really enjoyed the course. It was quite different than the moderate to heavily wooded course I'm used to, so I got to drive more freely and was really please with how my disc control uas evolved. It was windy, and the open course really allowed me to put the unLace through the paces. For lower arm speed players, this should be your distance driver. Even with the wind, I was able to hit my lines as long as I managed a good release.
I didn't intend for this to come off so much like a review. In the end, I felt like I played very well for a new course that was a different playing experience for me, and responded well to the 40F temp and blustery winds. Game continues to progress :thmbup:
