When we're headed out for a weekend tourney, or really even a one day, I try to drink as much as I can the day before. I actually started drinking water two weeks ago to be ready for worlds...

Thumbs down Re: Playing in this heat.

I pulled a good one and drank a beer before heading out on Saturday. Picked up a sixer for the round too. got out there around 8:40 and was done by 2....felt sicker than a dawg for the rest of the day and half the next one.

The best way to prepare for the heat of Worlds..........play as much afternoon golf as humanly possible until you leave. LOL

I remember heading to Corpus Christi to play W. Guth the weekend before Dee & I left for Tulsa, 100+ temps, plenty of skeeters, and lots of liquids. Tulsa was a lot like KC, so be prepared to FRY and have a reserved lounge chair out at the pool for when you get in. Really makes you appreciate the concrete pond.

That's why i pulled 36 holes at Bear Branch at High Noon last week. I may try to top that this week. I survived, so hopefully that means I'll survive in KC.

This is why I miss Kingwood right now. At least you get to play in the shade for most of the course.

Ghost and I parked at the soccer fields and crossed over to the bridge to play. Some fallen logs oon the course and one that partially covers a tee pad. Overall, lots of fun and very few spiders.

If you can get past the hallucinations that accompany heatstroke I find the heat to be a good weight management solution. That is why I refuse to eat or drink the day before, of, and after a round of hot disc golf. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger (skinnier).

Just got done with another training day. 1:30 to 3pm at the Links:


Speaking of which, someone should be sitting on a ton of discs from there. The water is almost non existent. It is easily half of normal. So, someone call me with all my wraiths. I can see the dry spots where they went in.

Sunday before last several of the ponds were completely dry... and had obviously been picked over. I looked pretty well and was only able to find one S.Payne disc.
