Things I would rather do than sit in photonics class.

In no particular order.

1. Edit SAP13.
2. Go to Canada.
3. Look for a place to live next semester.
4. Watch Nitro Circus.
5. Listen to the new music I downloaded today.
6. Drink a chocolate milkshake.
7. Eat waffles.
8. Play disc golf.
9. Try to teach my iPhone that people are much more likely to say
"golf" in emails and text massages than "gold".
10. Solder new earbuds onto my iPhone headphone cable.

Ten's a good number. Later, dudes.

Disc golf roundup.

I guess I forgot about this. Sorry for anyone who may have been following the trip.

Here are some final numbers for you:

Number of holes played: 216*
Total number of throws: 1550 (Justin: 759 Grant: 791)
Average throws per hole: Justin: 3.67 Grant: 3.82

To put it into perspective, the average difference between our scores per hole comes out to be 0.147. That's mainly just to say that even with a difference of 32 throws, we're pretty much even.

So that's about it. The trip was awesome, and I'm glad we got to go on it. I feel like I've improved a pretty decent amount because of it, and that showed yesterday when I hit the pin on my drive on hole 14 at Water Works in KC. :P

Shameless plug time: Something Awesome Podcast (It still exists.)

*Justin had to leave after 9 holes back at the SBU course last Sunday, but I played another 9 after that with Brookens, to get me up to 225.

Day three.

Today would have been awesome, but it rained. At least we got 9 holes in at Eastern Avenue Park in Davenport. It's disappointing because it seemed like a great course. More importantly, though, is the fact that after those 9 holes, I was winning by one throw. Just saying.

So we saw I Love You, Man. It was a very funny. We were wondering why it was rated R, so we figured it was either because of boobs or the F-bomb. It was the latter. Because the first one happened so close to the beginning of the movie, I decided to count them. 56 F-bombs. I'm not complaining because I don't mind it at all, but I thought it was kind of funny.

After the movie, we got some food and drove across the state to Indianola, where we are now. We had a little trouble finding my aunt and uncle's house, but we got here. Now we're chilling out in their basement, hoping the weather is nice here tomorrow. At least one of the courses near here is supposed to be awesome, so we're looking forward to it.

Oh, I also ate at Chick-fil-a twice today. Yes!

Later, dudes.

Day two.

Today we played another 54 holes in a couple more cities. That puts us at 108, which seems crazy. We're staying in a Super 8 in Davenport, IA tonight and hoping it doesn't rain tomorrow. We have to check out of here by 11am, which kind of sucks, because we were planning on sleeping in if it rains. So... hopefully it doesn't rain.

Douglas Park in Springfield, IL was our first today. It was short and pretty easy. There were also a few homeless people hanging around, which was kind of depressing.

Second was Lincoln Park, also in Springfield. This one was fun and a lot longer. I beat Justin there, which is a nice change.... Then we went to Dick's Sporting Goods in Springfield and we bought new discs to fill the spaces we felt we were lacking.

The final course for today was in Peoria, IL. It was Bradley Park, and the front 9 kind of killed us. The pack 9, however, was great fun. I had some really amazing throws on that stretch, including what was almost a skip-in ace, but I also have nothing to show for it given the fact that Justin kept up on most of those holes.

Tally after today:
Justin: 376
Grant: 395

I've more or less accepted the fact that I'm going to lose.

Also, these giant Cheetos are what the name implies.

Day one.

First day of the disc golf tour is over, and it went pretty well. We woke up a little later than planned, but we played 18 in Bolivar to kick things off, then we headed to St. Louis. We played at Creve Coeur Lake Park (which I misspelled on Twitter) first. It was a pretty long course, but it was good fun, and we played decently.

Then we went over to Endicott Park, which was mostly just frustrating. Justin hit about a hundred trees, but I somehow managed to thread some needles over and over again. If it weren't for my deperessing quadruple bogie on the 12th hole, I would've won the course by 3. Meh.

Now we're in Springfield, IL, at a Motel 6 being lazy. I'm hoping my shoulder isn't too sore in the morning, and also that the weather will be as great as it was today. We're not sure where we'll play tomorrow, but the choices in Springfield are Douglas Park and Lincoln Park. We'll also head north to Peoria and play one of theirs on the way up to Davenport, IA, where we're sleeping tomorrow.

After one day, here are our total throws on 54 holes:
Justin: 195
Grant: 208

Frick, that seems like a big gap. Guess I should work on closing it tomorrow.

Later, dudes.

Justin has limited glasses.

At least as far as clean ones are concerned. So this is what I'm drinking from.



Here's another, because I don't have much to say except that I'm ready for next week's Ultimate Disc Golf Tour.



Later, dudes.

A little disc golf update.

Today was a great day for iPhone users, but I'm not talking about that.

Here's a screenshot of the potential courses I've marked for the disc golf tour:



Plus the one down in Bolivar at SBU, which will probably both open and close the tour.

Three states, five days. It kicks off on Sunday. Let's hope I don't hate this game by the time spring break is over.

Later, dudes.
