Gettin' the Hang of It

After almost two months of learning and practice, I might be a passable disc golf player. My distance has improved a little (I hope for more improvement); I can play two or three times a day and my arm isn't sore; I know terms like "hyzer,'" "anhyzer," "overstable," "understable" and I've met many great players.

I finally broke 70, scoring a 68 and a 64 during the past week. A 3 on every hole would be 54 -- that's the ultimate goal.

Disc Golf Pros I've Met

My Disc Golf Scores Having played 40 times, keeping track of each score, I have a pretty good record of my early progress. I am satisfied so far, and curious to see where I will be at the end of the Summer. [ my scores ] and [ Belmont misc ]	Father's Day I had a nice Father's Day. Cole called and sent me a musical present. Gail and I took mom and Echo to Gail's parents for an afternoon picnic in the yard. [ more ]
Brookgreen Gardens When mom and I were in South Carolina, we visited Brookgreen Gardens. I enjoyed the flower and sculpture gardens, but I was haunted by the fact that it was formerly a rice plantation with slaves. [ more ]	Mom Update Mom moved into the front of our house on the 4th of July last year. It has been a fast and enjoyable year. [ more ]
