The 2012 Season is here!!!!!

It's that time of year to brush off the old discgolf bag and get out for some fine NEFA tournaments. Not to say that I have not been playing, the exceptionally warm New England weather here in Massachusetts has allowed me to play off and on all winter long. I normally stop once there is snow on the ground but this year, that did not happen until last week. It was melting today and the 65 degree day we are going to have tomorrow has got me thinking about discgolf.

Spent some time tonight updating the website I keep with statistics on my play. Surprisingly I did add a few personal best rounds during last year and last month rocked a 54 at Devens for a personal best. I only won one tournament last year, the Lincoln Peak Open as a Pro Master but honestly I only had to get lucky against one other player so I don't look at it as a great accomplishment. That said my first Pro win is great to have and I got a beautiful glass trophy out of the deal. Last year was really about the PDGA Am Worlds, getting ready and then traveling to Rochester NY to play. You can read all about my game meltdown in the older entries to this blog. Check out my site The Discgolf Haven

Today with the great 58 degree day we had I slipped out of work a bit early and beat the traffic on rte 128 to Borderland State Park. Played two round, a short, white to white and shot a +1 55, Then I played a long Blue to Blue and shot a +4 72. The elbow hurts like a son a bitch but I can play with it. Still think I played well enough. The course was damp and muddy in 4-5 holes but overall was in pretty good shape. So many people are now playing at that course that you are constantly waiting or rushing to play through. It is hard to really take your time and enjoy it. I guess this is the price for the growing popularity of the sport. Tomorrow is supposed to hit the mid sixties so I think I will head out to Devens after work.

Planning for the future I have my eye on the following:
3/17/12 The Vineyard Social 8 - Just waiting to see the extended forcast tomorrow before sending the entry money.
3/30/12 Borderlands Buzzards Bay State Open - Just saw this show up on the list. I hope it comes together, I love that course.
3/31/12 Fool on the Hill @ Devens, Already Registered and looking forward to choking as I do at every tournament there.
