field work objectives:

work on a shorter "run up" and standstills.

Sprinkle Valley does not have long runways for tee boxes. And a tournament I'm playing soon at Circle C is going to be a similar situation. So I gotta get dialed in on less and no steps.

I've done a lot of settling in my life because I thought I wasn't or couldn't be good enough for things I wanted to go for. I do not want to do that anymore
November 11, 2025 at 12:11 AM
I must press on, even when those with me can't or won't

Getting older is weird. Wanting things you have never wanted before is weird.

alright I'm going to try with all my might to make reading a habit again.

it's been years and years and years since I've done regular reading.

I'm starting with Leviathan Wakes. It's fun enough right now

I know I've mentioned this before, and I know that most DG people of the internet don't care about pronouncing foreign player's names with any amount of faithful integrity but

I can not stand how flippant some people are about it. It just comes off so arrogant.

ugh I've been getting the urge to get back into good form for music again so I can perform again and it's eating at me little by little.

I must have arrived right after the rush or UDisc was glitchy because it was not really all that bad. Still got a solo round done in about 1.5hrs (which is pretty usual)
Wish me luck, I'm about to go play Zilker when UDisc says it's "as busy as it gets" with 30-40 players on UDisc

NADGT week 😮‍💨🥲

I've had to watch this around 3-4 times every day since it came up on my feed on Monday.

You know you're making progress in your tournament game when you're thinking about your own shots hours after its done about to go to bed and you're all like "damn that was a sick shot."
October 20, 2025 at 3:23 AM
Ugh, I have an 800 and 808 round from last year that won't age out of my player rating for another two months.

But if I play a few more sanctioned rounds above my rating in the next two months, my rating could jump a good bit.

There's a couple events I have my eye on coming up

the one big downside to big tournaments is

The weekend is done waaaay too quickly.

Feeling pretty decent. Some players are shooting really hot in MA3.

MA3 is a really interesting sometimes because yeah, its Usually the lowest division, but also the top 40% will shoot anywhere 25-50 above their rating. It's a big of a slog in terms of feelings of improvement.

I got to play one of the courses I'm playing in the 48th Waterloo Classic, and got to look at around half of the other one.

The layouts are pretty fun, I feel pretty good about my chances, but I gotta say, it does feel a little odd playing on a golf course.

Did anyone ever play the Megaman Battle Network games? They were my shit growing up and I've been thinking about playing them again
October 15, 2025 at 11:13 PM
Man, it took me a hot minute to get to know it, but I'm so glad I have an Axiom Neutron Rhythm right now. It's so perfect for my arm speed and my natural release, it goes so far and straight.

I didn't do much today other than watch disc golf

But that's because next weekend is my next big tournament and I know I won't have a lot of pure downtime during the weekend. Plus this week is going to be practice time after work every day besides Thursday.

So, worth it.

Connor O'Reilly is back home in Austin and is opening disc golf coaching sessions... I've always contemplated getting lessons but I usually chicken out. Thinking on it hard this time though...

I got out earlier than my partner again. I usually pick her up, luckily I had my discs today.

Decided "ah fuck it I should just try some forehands." (I only use them unless absolutely necessary within ~125ft)

Thought I figured out something crucial but then my timer went off🫠

listening to System of a Down and I'm realizing

I subconsciously learned a lot more about vocal harmonies than I gave them credit for when I was younger
