Disc Golf Round at Parkland Calgary
Yesterday after work I played the Parkland (also called Park 96) Disc Golf Course. Here is a quick recap of the course and my round.
The Course
The Parkland Disc Golf course is a private disc golf course located in the Parkland community in the South-west of Calgary. It's laid out in a park with quite a bit of open space and trees. The holes are all very challenging and good for intermediate to advanced players. A beginner would probably get frustrated playing this course as it's fairly long and challenging.
All the holes are par 4 except number 7 which is a REALLY long par 4. The rest are one good drive to the basket and there are only really 1 hole which should be birdied every time.
My Round
My round yesterday I shot a +4. I was two over after the first two holes and then par-ed the rest of the front nine. Leaving me at +2 on the front. The back nine was going smoothly until the 14th and 15th holes which are trick holes through the trees. I had some unlucky nicks off of trees and leaving me behind larger trees. I ended the round at +2.
I felt like I was playing pretty good. I'm still trying to figure out my brand new Valkyrie as it's still new and slips out of my hand too early in the release. I may need to sand down the inside lip of the disc to get more grip. I hope to get out and play Parkland another couple of times this summer. I now have the mark of +4 to beat!
