Ike Bowl

In disc golf in February, there are a number of different Ice Bowls that are held as fundraisers and just to have fun playing disc golf.  The key about an ice bowl is that they are never canceled.  Up north, they'll have snow and ice but in Austin the worst that's likely to happen is cold rain.

Steve said we should call our disc golf meetup today an Ike Bowl.  At first I thought we would have a lot of no shows due to the weather.  In Austin, we just got wind though and some slight sprinkles. 

Steve had a wedding today and suggested an early round.  We played most of a doubles round at 7:30, the regular round at 9:00 with seven people, and an after round at Wilco that was also doubles.  There were two new guys who got bag tags today.  Everyone but Steve who was leaving early and one other guy contributed to our ace pot too.  That meant 7 bag taggers during potential hurricane fallout.  The new guys fit right in.  Three of us scored 10 over, counting everything thing a three.  Someone got 12 over, someone got 9 over, and someone got 4 over.  Those are pretty bad scores but there was serious wind at times.







Afterwards, Tony picked Rudy's for his gluten-free meal.



Tony and Matt were going to hit Wilco again. I just wasn't up for 4 rounds today. I've been playing a lot of disc golf this week in anticipation of Ike and a possible rainy weekend. I played 4 rounds Thursday including the 22 holes at OSP. I did take the anhyzer route over the lake. The disc that made it was an easy birdie. I did deposit a found disc in the lake though. Friday I played a couple of early Wilco rounds before the kids had early release from school. Apparently the school officials were afraid evacuees from Houston and Galveston would jam up the express ways. Of course it was very sunny and very little traffic.
