Ugh!!! That was painful! Threw one of the worst rounds of my life out there today.. I mean I wasn’t anticipating a great round due to the limitations I pointed out in my last post, but yikes! I had at least 6 OB strokes, had two 7’s during the course of the round, missed pretty much every putt. At least I kept my head on and still had a good time. I mean, let’s be honest here, I’m playing for fun, not for my lunch money.
I love this game and I am thrilled to have the chance to travel and play all over the world, but days like today are a good test of that enthusiasm. I may be frustrated with a shot and mutter a few colorful words as I watch my drive skip out of bounds, but I always come back for more! I had a good group today, one of the guys was on my card last round. We both completely tanked it today and took turns cheering each other up.. I swear, disc golf is the only sport that I know of where you encourage your competition.
I could look back on today and gripe about all the things that went wrong and beat myself up for bad decisions or failed execution.. but instead I choose to focus on the fact that I kept my head up and a smile on my face. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… I’d rather stink at disc golf and win at life :)
Went to the Avalanche / Coyotes game with an old friend tonight, which was a much needed break from stewing about todays round. They lost in a dismal 3-1 display, but it was still good to get out!
Looking forward to tomorrow’s round at Fountain Hills. I’m hoping to shave a few strokes off my first round there, tentatively aiming for a 50. One thing I really like about playing longer tourneys like this is the chance to get your revenge on courses.
see ya tomorrow..
wish me luck!
