So I decided to break down and start fresh. I didn’t kill the old alexrowan.com. You can still see it. Its at alexrowan.com/OLD. Tricky huh. Anyway This site is going to be for logging disc golf stats, ongoings in my life, stories, jokes, and other things you might like. I hope to get a better layout and upkeep this one. anyways…
I played in my first PDGA tourney this weekend. I finished DFL. Seriously, shots bad the first round. The second round started out great, then went to shit for about 12 holes. I was a mental basket case. I keep reading about how important the mental game is. Wow, the pros are not kidding. I ended up shooting a 103/110 over 2 27 hole rounds. Exchange park needs to be fixed though. The bike path really fucked things up. The only bright side was claiming the CTP on hole 18. People always ask me why carry a demon. That is why. My disc was resting about 2 inches from the pin. The first round I short armed it a little and landed right behind the tree. The tree for those that don’t know is a 12 foot diameter cottonwood. The basket is about 4 feet behind the tree.
Today I did get a job at Sage in Windsor Heights. Its a really nice place, but shits its not cheap. Right up my alley. I have to tell my boss at Raccoon that I think I am done working there. Just as I finished training. I am really tired of up-scaling, but I think I am done. (At least until I get an IT job.) After I decided to go to GVCC and play 18 in celebration. I really didn’t worry about my score too much. I know I birdied 3 and overshot 7 and 16. I think my lines are getting better. A second Champ Valk might be in my forecast. Right now my bag is Champ Teebird 175, Champ Valk, 11x Pro Roc, S Demon, Med S Wizard, Pro Classic Roc, DX Jagurar, and X MRV. The MRV is on the way out with the Jag and the Classic Roc. A second S Demon and a DX Roc is on the way in. I might get a second Wizard, perhaps a Soft for putting. I had a lot of blow-through today on solid chain hits. A few more drivers are on the way in. I am thinking about adding a Z Crush or Predator, a Second Valk, a DX Teebird, a Star Teerex and a Champ Monarch. That will give me 5 Drivers, 2 Mids and 1 Putter molds and about 13-14 discs. The Perfect amount for a Crunch box. That about raps up disc golf. Tomorrow is 18 at Grandview with Hoef and telling work that I am probably not going to work there any more. Damn that was a long thread.
