Disc Golf in All 50 States--The Quest Continues

One of my life goals is to play Disc Golf in all 50 states.

This year, my quest moved forward, and I reached the 30 state plateau. I also have now played 75 different courses.

That's the good news.

The less good news is that my play, like my application of other skills, has it's ups and downs. I thought I was playing better. Indeed, I played several difficult courses under par this year. Then I returned home and promptly threw a 61 at Buckhorn, a full 5 to 6 strokes over my average. Golf is a game of rhythm and comfort and practice.

Here are some scores from this year.

Brahan Springs Park; Hunstville, Alabama

3-3-4 2-3-3 4-2-2 OUT (26)
3-3-3 3-2-2 3-2-3 IN (24) 50

LaFleur's Bluff State Park: Jackson, Mississippi
(Doubles w/ Cindy)

4-3-2 3-4-2 3-3-3 OUT (27)
3-4-3 3-3-3 2-3-2 IN (26) 53

Lazarre DGC; West Monroe, Lousiana
(Doubles w/Cindy; High Water Course; Short Tees)

2-3-2 3-3-3 3-2-2 OUT (23)
3-3-3 3-3-3 2-3-3 IN (26) 49

Muse Park: Jackson, TN

2-2-3 3-3-2 2-4-4 OUT (25)
3-3-3 3-3-3 3-3-2 IN (26) 51

It hasn't been all birdies and light, though. Seven oaks in Nashville chewed me up and spit me out.
