Well I Had Fun

We’ve moved along further northeast in preparation for taking the ferry back to Newfoundland. That happens Friday. Meanwhile we’re staying at Mira River Provincial Park not far from Sydney, Nova Scotia. As you can see from the photo we have a reasonable amount of room here, so that’s nice.

There was a nearby disc golf course so we thought we’d try again. It was in a park, and that usually means a pretty open course. Some areas were park-like, but even then the baskets were guarded by trees.

Other holes were pretty much in the woods. It was reasonably cleared unless you threw a wild shot. Bud was throwing a lot of wild shots, so we spent some time looking for his discs. He was getting frustrated; I was throwing fairly well and my bad shots were short and didn’t get in a lot of trouble.

The fairways were definitely rougher towards the end of the course. And Bud was having bad luck. His approach shot was closer than mine on this hole. I then threw a shot right up next to the basket. His shot hit the chains, so should have gone into the basket, but managed to carom off, land on edge and roll back down the hill in front of the basket. He was more than a little frustrated now.

We played all eighteen holes and I won handily. I thought the course was fun and quite pretty, if a bit rough. Bud said maybe we should give up on Canadian disc golf.
