2022-02-13 Soehnstetten with Friends It was a wonderful day: nice and sunny, rather low wind, 8C, despite still having some snow on the ground. Marius and Johanna played a round of disc golf in Soehnstetten with me. Currently the pins 7, 14 and 15 are still removed, thus it was a 15-hole round. Johanna averaged at 5.4 strokes per hole. Marius averaged at 3.7. And myself at (rather bad) 3.5. Extrapolated to 18 holes, I would have ended at 62 (which is bad for me), Marius at 67 (which is his usual score), and Johanna at 97 (which is around where she was last time as well). I could not score a single birdie, although I had two short bir- die putts on #11 and #12. Besides three bogeys on the first four holes, I also took a double on #8 after a 110m drive, which drifted right, and a three-putt. The drive on #3 I purposely aimed more right, but overcorrected a bit. At least I did not land left behind the trees as usual. My long drives on #4, #5, #10, #13, #16 were all very good: straight and long. Not quite long enough for birdies, but otherwise fine. I played with only a DX Banshee and a P3. Marius played with a Pure, a Buzzz and a Roadrunner. I told him, he should primarily use the Buzzz, which he then did. He threw lots of nice looking lines with the Buzzz and had good results with it as well. His approaches (from about 30m) with the Buzzz or the Pure were very good. Besides some holes with driving or putting problems, his play was fine. When factors like wind and mental stuff like OB lines and mandos come into play, he has lapses more frequently. Probably he then thinks too much. Johanna played with a lightweight Stingray and a Pure. Here Pure throws were fine. The Stingray throws were fine for her part as well, but the disc has a surprisingly strong fade. The flight numbers say -3/1 and the disc is 155g or so, but at the end of the flight it crashes down like a Firebird. This frequently resulted in vertical landings that led to rollaways. I'm surprised of this flight behavior of the disc. Next time she'll better use a different one.
