Rochester : First Practice of 2013 Season

June 19, 2013
Today I was able to get out for the first time in 2013. I visited Widener Park at Chili with a friend.

I played well for my first time in the field. I think I had 5 3's (par), 8 4's, and 5 5's.

By far, the greatest highlights of the evening were scoring a 5 on hole 11 and a 3 on hole 15.

Hole 11 at Widener Park is 911 feet long and probably the longest hole in Monroe County.
It requires consistent long accurate throws as the hole has trees and brush to the right and pine trees to the left.  I approached the hole with 4 consistent throws (averaging +220 ft. each) and then sunk a 35+ ft. putt.

Two holes later at hole 15 (431 feet in distance) , I bombed a sidearm over 240 feet, approached the hole with a Hornet that hooked left at the last minute, leaving me 5ft from the basket tucked in a cove. Par 3.

I mostly used my Xcaliber star innova for my sidearm drives, and I was pretty successful. I used a new Millimium Omega (Sirius plastic) for putting. I am leaning to use my Discraft Buzzz and Hornet for approaches.
