Got up a little earlier today and fired some drives off in the practice field. Got to see Ken Climo ace one of the practice baskets from a tee they had set up off in the woods, pretty neat! We got chewed up by this nasty little gnats in the woods yesterday and my legs are pretty swollen. I think I may actually have cankles (for those unfamiliar, this means my calf and ankle can no longer be distinguished from each other).
First round was on the Fujin and I didn’t score particularly well, shot a 64 which was 2 strokes worse than yesterday. I’m still ranked in the 30’s but lost a little ground. The second round was on the Raijin course and I just plain threw poop. In fact, I think I saw some monkeys throwing poop.. and it was better than what I was doing. I pretty much missed every putt, went OB on several drives, simply put.. I just didn’t play smart golf. Don’t get me wrong, just being here is amazing, but I came to play this time!
Still, I’m hanging on in the top 50 spots, which means I have a chance at cashing if I can just play better tomorrow. The last time I was here, I was just a tourist throwing discs. I certainly didn’t come here this time with any delusions of winning, but if I can land in the cash, I will have definitively crossed a milestone in my disc golf journey.
Last round tonight! Hoping everyone continues to party late into the night! Sometimes it’s an advantage being a sober disc golfer :)
