Course: Woodway Park, Waco TX

This is a nice area... probably the nicest neighborhood I've seen a disc golf course in. It is right on Waco Lake and the views were nice. You could hear some people playing in the water. This is a nice, comfortable course. No place to really lose a disc (I love that). You could put a disc in the lake on #17, but it would take a fairly errant shot. Not impossible, but not too likely.

I had read online to be careful about over-driving some of the holes, because there is OB right behind some of the pins. I warmed up and put my first shot pin-high and laid-up a 40 footer and dropped in a par. I bogeyed #2 after a slipshot upshot (way off). I drove #3 within 40 feet and FOUR PUTTED. Arggh!! Stomped around for awhile, got it out of my system. +3 when I should be at par. Sigh. I can't putt, still, after all that practice. But, I totally don't putt like I practice. I don't know why. My drive on #4 was bad, but I pulled out a par. F.A.T. on #5 (F.irst A.vailable T.ree). Then my Roadrunner didn't turnover all the way and I missed a 35 foot putt. +5 already on an easy course!!! Argh!!! Birdied the 210 foot 6, nice drive on #7 but I missed a 12 foot putt. Stomped around again, spent a few minutes practicing my "putt" (but didn't make any progress... hmm, 10 putts and I'm not suddenly Ken Climo, strange). +6. Parked #8, birdied a 25 footer. Errant drive on #9, hit my own car, but bounced back I.B. Yeay, thanks car! Par. +5. Overshot #10 but hit easy par, birdied #11 after "drive" hit a tree root and got lucky skip. Pars on 14 & 15. Great seeing-eye drive on #15. Tiny little opening to drive through on #16, shot two mid-rangers for par. Slipped a disc on #17 and FAT again. Decent second shot, laid up for bogey. +5. Parred 18. +5 on new course, blind? I'll take it. But, I NEED TO LEARN TO PUTT! And drive. I need consistency. I have all the shots. I can make all the shots, but I need to do it consistently. I have no talent. I do practice, really, a lot more than you'd think a guy with a full-time job, lots of time dedicated to a church-ministry and 6 kids would be able to do. But I haven't had the results yet.
