This is the first time I've thrown over the lake from the new tee position. On less windy days, I'm sure I'll be tempted to run directly at the basket over the lake. As it was, I chose a conservative route of throwing an overstable disc to the right covering just a fraction of the water distance. The plan was to have the disc fade left and skip toward the basket.
Unfortunately the disc slipped out of my hand and headed straight for the water. It hit the water about 5 feet from the shore to the right and it would have been difficult to lasso with my retriver. Fortunately, I caught a VERY lucky break. The disc hit the water at just the right angle to bounce. It bounced out of the water, skipped like a stone, and landed safely on shore for an easy recovery.
I shot a +9. That's pretty good considering I haven't played Old Settlers in months and it was a very windy day. Old Settlers is pretty boring though. Here's a typical hole: Throw as hard as you can, as hard as you can, as hard as you can, ease up on the approach, putt it in for bogey. I much preferred my evening round at Wilco. Give me trees and oppotunities for finesse. A bad round at Wilco is usually better than a good round at OSP.
If I had waited a couple of days I could have played with 15 back in the ground and the new tee position for B hole. The Double R has been doing a lot to prepare for the Outlaws tournament. There was a high school track team out while I was playing and I had to wait to throw on a couple of holes so I wouldn't hit them.
