My First course in Vermont.
My first time in Vermont really, besides passing through in late 2002 in the dark.
bouut I imagine vermont would be, big rolling hills lightly snowing.
This guy clung right here the entire round.

Loving this course. Beautiful fairways and pin placements.
Ace run hole 12 (silver-blue)
3 birds in a row! 10-12
hole 14!
59 on the silver-blue
Time for some Wolfe woods.
An early start.
5th course of the day, 6.5 miles walked so fast today, this one is looking to be a doosy.
Hole one climbs only 100 feet to a beautiful view.
I guess I parred (6) the gauntlet of hole 3.
And the dude behind me apparently gave up after only 2 holes, thought maybe he’d want to play a round together, but he seemed pretty antisocial.
The rest of the course continued on, if a bit brutally over rocks and through woods for a great challenge that kicked my butt. As a few snowflakes fall, I post this from, the tee of hole 15.
New phone = new opportunities to blog
No longer do I have to dig out the computer to blog, here I sit on hole 2 at whispering falls and with a wave of a finger itype hello.
An impressive 4 save after rolling halfway down that hill, now only if I could get that on video.
Here I am, December 8th, finally cooking up thanksgiving dinner. Cheeseburgers on actual thanksgiving with my dad were great, but the turkey that he brought has been sitting around for the last couple weeks. After “playing” this private course, I pulled into the camping area and got the turkey going with the final colors disappearing from the sunset and the near full moon coming up in the east. I say “playing” because this course is near impossible to play without a guide, I ended up wandering around until I found a teebox or basket and attempted to play the associated hole. In all, I played 12 or 14 holes, just not sure which holes I played in what order, but it was a fun time anyway. The camping area consists of a “bunk house” or shed, a fire pit and a nice pond, very beautiful area on a fairly busy highway.
New york has been an enjoyable experience, even though I haven’t seen a single other disc golfer in this state, come on folks, beautiful sunny day, granted a bit windy and you live in the city that hosted Am Worlds? Not a single person is going to stand up to the elements? Fine by me I suppose, I’ve had every course to myself. Buffalo boasted my favorite experience with Black Diamond and Chestnut Ridge, easily followed by Parma and Basil in Rochester. The remainder of the courses won’t leave me dreaming about NY DG. Como had some solid holes, some OK holes, and some that made me want to poke my eyes out. Same with Wilson Tuscarora and Shore Winds, the white course was overall enjoyable and the blue course there had great holes, some very scenic holes, and some very boring open holes that neutralized the overall experience.
In all, it was a worthwhile detour, with a handful of great courses, I’m bummed that I had to miss out on a few of the worlds courses since the baskets were pulled. Glad the weather held out and pumped for a trip into Pennsylvania that has been on my wishlist for quite some time now thanks to DGM.
