Friday Update North Cove Classic 

The Boulders DGC is one of two course at the North Cove Disc Golf facility. Like its name suggest. The course features incredible rock features and stunning views of the Catawba River. Open and wooded holes, lots of elevation change, and sights you don't see on almost any course including Grandfather Mountain in the background. Boulders is the longer of the two course and designed for advanced/tournament level players.

Located at the North Cove Social Club, the River Run DGC is one of two courses at the North Cove Disc Golf Facility.

This course is designed for all levels of disc golf. New players can learn how to play and find a couple of birdies along the way while seasoned players can cash as many birdies as possible. It features rolling hills, winding rivers, a blue lake, and stone features throughout the course. You will throw every shot in the bag while enjoying a fun and beautiful disc golf experience. Check in at the clubhouse and then head down the path to hole 1 on the right side of the entrance way.

----- JT's Update  -----
 Round 1 played a 778
 Round 2 played an 849 
 Round 3 played an 851

My round 3 was solid and was controlled and stable. It matched my original personal best I got in round 2 at +4, but I controlled my game a lot better. The misses and mess-ups were simply low experience levels in my game overall, and I can see where improvement is needed.

  The main goal was to throw smart and stay out of ob. I was in recovery mode, trying to save my stats for another day. I started with a bang by changing my approach on Hole One and chunked a KC Rock Pro straight at the basket. I was aiming dead center basket, but my release was a tad high of the release point I wanted. From the tee pad, it held its line and racked the hell out of the flag pole that was on top of the basket—getting a roar from the crowd and my card mates. I would indeed birdie the hole, but it was thrown clean and smart afterward. As the round progressed, I would miss a few throws, but again, it is the understanding that these experiences will give me the knowledge and experience to do better later on. As long as I focus on what I'm doing and be honest with myself that not all discs are defective. 

I would hold my 15 spot, which I knew would be my place today because round 1 did too much damage to bounce back from. I did the numbers, and to move up, I would have had to throw a negative round, but know I do not have that much experience for a course like this.  ... yet!!
