The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - 2011 Edition

[warobert]

Good: placed in the cash for my second tournament in a row.
Bad: my distance shots (hit a tight fairway gap, check. Throw anything much over 350, fuggedaboutit)
Ugly: I still have two tournaments scheduled this month...
Good: Its never too late for field practice

[Frank Delicious]

You there! Warobert! throw less hard on open shots. You tend to jerk too hard (hehe) and get your arm in front when throwing hard.

[warobert]

Thanks for telling it like it is Frank. To the empty baseball field...

The Good - Won the Long drive competition after Kingman's May Daze with a 525' Standstill throw.

Bad- Finished 6th of 11 in advanced after winning 4 of their last 5, and placing 2nd in the other.

Ugly - Made only one putt outside of 25' in the tourney, and then went on to make the first 4 putts in a row during the ring of fire from 33'. So much for making it when it counts...

[Monocacy]

Good: Played a casual local tournament. Pulled pork, smoked brisket, and killer mac 'n cheese between rounds. Won a 6-pack of Flying Dog porter for CTP, and placed 2nd in my division.

Bad: 2nd in rec division.

Ugly: The last hole. After playing consistently all afternoon I three-putted from about 80 unmolested feet. Afterwards I was strangely relieved to learn that I had lost by more than a stroke.

[Iman522]

525’ from a standstill is beast mode. And Monocracy, you just made me hungry.

Going to do a double time today.

Good: Took 2nd at the Texas High School Championships shooting the low round of the tournament and also winning the long drive contest.
Good: Matt Ryan is trying to put Disc Golf into the High Schools and did a superb job running the event with an incredible support crew from Brownfield.

Bad: Missed several in the circle putts that I should have made that ultimately cost me.
Bad: There were several really good high school players from Texas and even within 45 minutes that were missing.

Ugly: After playing 3 holes in the first round that were relatively easy to par I had to OB's and was already 5+.
Ugly: Only 23 High Schoolers showed with only two full teams competing. That is down from the 40 some last year with several teams.

[stinlin]

Good: Been working on my form a lot, so I decided to try out my Nuke for the first time. Rocked it HARD - so I must have been working well since I can now throw high speed discs well.

Bad: I discovered that I am incapable of driving a shot on a line between trees. I need need need to figure this out because this is hurting me bad.

Ugly: I lost 2 discs to the water. Thankfully, I have many Rocs, but the Valk is gone for good. Bought the Valk at Dick's, so I can always rebuy if I care - I prefer my Avenger SS anyways. (Trying to make an ugly situation good)

[RustyP]

Good: if I added / weighted everything corrrectly, my last tourney should bump my rating over 1000!!!

Bad: heard from the TD of said event that the rounds won't be counted on tomorrow's ratings update...gotta wait until next month

Ugly: another month of anxiously blabbing to my wife about ratings when she could give a crap

[zj1002]

Good: 2 good days of golf. Won the metcenter mini on Tuesday and my tag group at circle c today with a 59. Won by 14 strokes

Bad: despite the win I shot a 66 at MetC. Goal was a 60.

Ugly: can't putt outside 25ft. I don't practice outside the circle often and it shows

[Frank Delicious]

Good: Putted well today (except for 3 spitouts/cut-thrus)

Bad: my actually score for todays rounds. The fact that my money orion is now my flippy orion and I refuse to accept that.

ugly: threw something like 20 thumbers today and my shoulder really really hurts now. Hope it goes away by tomorrow.

[Whiz]

Good: Played well enough this weekend that my score would have won the open division.

Bad: I signed up for the advanced division.

Ugly: I got my butt kicked by two players in the Open Masters division. Also, my putting the second round.

[muchachogrande]

Good: Putted well today (except for 3 spitouts/cut-thrus)

Good luck today little buddy.

[Trey133]

Good - strung together pretty decent rounds at hornets nest in Charlotte NC. Avg'd 990.

Bad - got whooped by whiz! He shot lights out! Its actually not bad, he's nasty good.

Ugly - my back 9 the second round. Took a 24 on the back the first round and a 31 on the back the second round. Bah.

[Frank Delicious]

Good: got an invite to Deep Creek to play there.

Bad: playing two rounds with my shoulder hurting. Turns out I use a decent amount of shoulder in my putting and throwing.

Ugly: worst finish ever and I probably shouldn't have played today. probably gonna need to take a week off from DG.

[Itchy]

Franky D. I just played 9 yesterday after taking two weeks off... felt really good on my shoulder and my drives are back. I don't know what I did but I really messed it (or my elbow... I'm not sure) up.
