Good: I can step outside my workplace and get some "field work" in anytime I want. Today I made some notable distance improvements.
Bad: There's a fence at the end of the "field", ensconced in briars.
Ugly: I'll be climbing a fence if I want my buzzz's back.

Good: Got to play after a long break (two weeks) and only had three discs that i've thrown before (Jokeri, Wahoo and X Buzzz) testing out Squall, Impact, Hornet, Opto River (way better than my GL), X Nuke (too little traction to really make it go although it did produce the longest flight of the day), Aftershock, Hurricane, Star 161 Vulcan and Glo Z Stalker. It was a somewhat poor test considering i didn't throw the Wahoo and Stalker. Didn't lose to mafa.

Bad: Four bad slips with two finger grip and two wrist rolls. Not bad considering the conditions and having worked like a dog. It was so cold that my thermos only had lukewarm water in it when i started to drink from it. To early to say a lot on the discs out in public. Other than i think Opto River, Hornet, possibly Aftershock and Squall in harder plastic than i used might work well for me. Some of them probably not so well on windy days. That Vulcan is plain silly for a 400'+ thrower. Roller material. Hurricane annied came back way too late from minimal steps on snow. I imagined it would need much more power based on what people have written here. Thrown flat it did need way more power than i could generate in these conditions. Not as much as the light X Nuke though.

Ugly: -5F and 16 MPH winds when we started getting warmer and windier toward the end. HRRRR!!! I should have put apricot brandy i have to the thermos.

[RustyP]

Good: played some great golf the last 2 days. Putting was ON, only missed 2 inside the circle all weekend. Took first at 2 minis, adding nearly $100 to my tourney fund. Get to have valentines lunch today at one of my favorite pubs, the old monk

Bad: still on the fence about playing the dynamic disc cedar hill chill next saturday, and its already almost full

Ugly: the idea of shelling out $85 for a 1-day tourney, not counting gas/food money.

Txstate. The whippet broke on a spike hyzer, and the Polaris on a BH roller

[Frank Delicious]

The Good: had some good drives this weekend. Also someone filmed me throwing a comet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLC36PYcqeI . Kept the cash streak alive.

The bad: Played really badly from the longs both days.

The Ugly: Started getting a weird nose up in my putt the last couple of weeks and this weekend with the wind it really cost me some putts.

[Monocacy]

Good: Played an actual round of disc golf on an actual course. Putting and approaches were respectable, and driving accuracy was surprisingly reasonable.

Bad: Distance sucked badly

Ugly: I left my favorite Champ Leopard on the course after throwing a second shot. When I realized my boneheadedness and went back to get the disc, it was gone.

[keltik]

Good: the weather and I broke down and join the PDGA

Bad: the Rattler hasn't performed like I'd hoped but the ugly part below is more than likely the reason

Ugly: my game is so rusty I need a tetanus shot every time I go play

[peppermack]

Good: Beautiful here in West Virginia today, practiced putting for the first time in four months!

Bad: Putting sucked

Ugly: Was practicing in the front yard where all the neighbors could see

[colombo117]

Good: Won my first Ice Bowl.

Bad: There is still a lot of snow on the ground.

Ugly: How everything looks as the snow melts.

[peppermack]

Good: Played some DG today for the first time in 4 months, played good, and nailed an ace!

Bad: only my 2.5 year old daughter was there to see it.

Ugly: I was wicked tired after we played 9 holes. It is crazy hilly and I had to carry my daughter for most of it. I should not have run 5 miles before we went to play.

[Frank Delicious]
