My Actifit Report Card: February 27 2020

I played disc golf today with some friends. We played a round of 18 baskets getting really serious about our game. We decided the street was an out of bounds line and the parking lot was OB too.

Everyone was in pretty serious form on the second tee off and both of my friends shanked their discs into the parking lot. We debated about where to place the lie and settled on three feet away from the fence at the point where the discs flew out of bounds. I was nervous too and ended up not throwing hard enough and fading into a tree. At least it was not out of bounds but not all that good a throw.

The round ended up being pretty high scoring but no mulligans were used.

My friend ended up throwing a flippy disc into the river. Understable discs fly a lot farther but they are harder to control, especially in the wind. There is almost always some wind on basket fifteen because it sits up on a hill and the river comes into play a lot. We watched as his long throw faded to the left and dropped into the river.

I also played another casual nine basket round with a another friend I met on the course. We had fun talking about the sport and how the various types of drivers fly.

He remarked that sometimes his discs fly pretty far but mostly they come out shorter. It does seem like distance is pretty helpful to the game but really consistancy seems to be the best for lowering scores. Consistent throwing just starts happening as you develop your form and play for awhile and distance improves naturally. At least that was my experience. I don't think I explained that so well while we were talking though.

Here's a picture of the course today:

You can see the train and the out of bounds roadway to the right. There is nothing officially declared about the out of bounds and people have even made throws off the train track. Apparently it is not so easy walking over the trellis but I have never done it.

Here's a picture of tonight's dinner:

It was a very nice lemon chicken pizza.

I tried to take a picture of the crescent moon and bright planet near it but the camera did not capture it as well as I would have liked. Here it is:

We had a fun evening listening to music at a concert my son was playing in.
