Mentally Ill Disc Golfer?

Check out the guy 1:15 into the video. = )

The Invention of Lying

Some people think I'm the biggest liar ever. So, it's not surprising that I found myself in the theater tonight watching this movie.

I just want to say these two things:

1) I'm so jealous of the people who made this movie.

2) Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah.

46 at McClain?

Check out the best round from the tournament on Saturday at McClain:

That's insane. I wonder if that's the course record?

Good Disc Golf Instructional Video

This video has a number of really useful tips/tricks to improve disc golf drives. See how the instructor releases with a hyzer angle to get more power and the disc flips flat? I need to learn that.

Criticism: "Baby Needs a Hug" by Frida Bing

I'm not hugging that baby. Nobody is hugging that baby. Why does it have fangs? Is it a vampire or some sort of werewolf-type creature? Why draw a baby like that for a book meant for children? What were they thinking, really?

Criticism: "Just Me and My Dad" by Mercer Mayer

This is the first blog post in a series of posts in which I criticize things that need it. I do this without pity, without mercy, and with an unblinking eye.

This image is part of the last page of the children's book mentioned in the title:



Notice anything amiss? Look closely at the moon. Two stars are shining through where the unlit portion of the moon should be. Does the "artist" (and I use that term loosely) not know that the moon is actually a spherical object? It's not shaped like a banana.

Results From "The Game"

We played at Pearsall Park this week. Cory graciously agreed to take the day off so somebody else could win. I shot a 59. Paul shot a 62. Chris had a 69.

This was the first time I've ever been at Pearsall Park and it not be extremely windy. This wide open course was a nice change of pace from the narrow confines of McClain.

Disc Golf In Austin

Check out all these disc golf projects taking place in Austin, Tx:

I might have to move to Austin.

One of them is a city facility that will have two 18 hole courses and a pro shop. I believe the courses will be pay to play.

I'm jealous of people who live in Austin for the first time in a while!

Is This For Real?

That's Wunderground's forecast for my zip code. Are we going to get a ton of rain? What's going on? This is still San Antonio, right?

My Impression of Matt Shover

Farm Picture

While at the farm this weekend, I was shocked to see two java programmers hard at work.

Results From "The Game"

"The Game" was moved to Monday due to Labor Day weekend. Cory wins with a personal best 57. I shoot a personal best 58. Michael and Chris shoot a 66 and a 67. Congrats to everybody. I'm not very competitive and I'm just out there trying to get better (and have some fun).

My best 4 scores have all been in the last month and a half, two 62's, a 61, and a 58. I'm getting better and my arm is almost fully recovered from the injury. I threw a few monster drives today.

As an aside, Cory is a bastard. His parents were probably married when he was conceived and born. However, Cory was able to overcome that and become the bastard he is today through constant hard work. I threw my best score by 3 and he has to throw his best score by 2 on the same day. Thanks for nothing! = )

61 at McClain

61 is my new personal best at McClain. I might have shot a 60 but on the last hole I couldn't find my disc because it was getting dark.

My best 3 scores have all been within the last month and a half. I must be getting better. I'm very close to breaking 60!

Four Par Fours at Brian McClain

Look at the "Individual Hole Breakdown" on this page:

http://www.sanantoniodiscclub.com/ratings.htm

There are 4 holes at McClain that the "pros" average 4 or more shots on, 5, 10, 13, and 15. Maybe those holes should be par fours. That would make par at McClain a more reasonable 58.

I know I played McClain a bunch of times before I parred 5 or 15. Both are very difficult to get 3's on. 4's on those holes are fairly easy.

Weird Disc Golf Throw

Watch the throw at 1:36 into the video (the next guy falls down -- only dorks fall down playing disc golf). What kind of throw is that? It's insane!

Results From "The Game"

We play in two groups of three. Paul shoots an amazing 58. Chris and I tie for second with a 64. Mike and Ryan follow up with a 67. Clint shoots a 68.

I felt like I didn't play very well. I had my best drive ever on hole 15 (the Yuccatown) hole) and I bogeyed it. My disc landed a little past the big tree at the end of the fairway. I bogeyed both the par 4's.

Mike had seven pars and two bogeys on the front nine. That was great.

That's Amazing

Totally cool.

It's On

That's right. That's me. I'm in my backyard. That's a practice disc golf basket. It is officially on.
