I played fair. My problem was that I kept letting the course and the obstacles get into my head. Once I was off-kilter it was difficult to get balanced again.

Sunday was a beautiful day to be out playing disc golf, though. The wife, the child, and I headed out with our various discs and water bottles to hike about in the woods and throw plastic. The weather was perfect—sunny and in the low 70s.

I got to test out my new Buzzz ESP. It is the heaviest weight that Discraft manufactures it in. I love my 164 gram Buzzz, so I wanted a heavier version for shorter control shots and for playing in stronger wind. The 178 gram Buzzz plays almost exactly the same as my 164. I only notice that it falls a few feet shorter than its sibling, but otherwise it is an excellent addition to my bag.
