Hey you guys!
These past two weekends have been filled with so much fun, disc golf tournaments and swimming. What's even better is all three happening at the same time. What, whatttt! You heard that right.
First up was the 1st annual Swordstone Social out in beautiful Spicewood, Texas. The event took place on July 21st and 22nd, and our wonderful TD, Bonner Butler made this a one round a day tournament. Thank you. Thank you very much! When the rounds were over you could find everyone in one of the 2 pools the course had to offer and it was magnificent. Also, a huge thanks to St. Elmo brewery for hooking up some kegs for Saturday, we thank you TJ for bringing those out. You tha real MVP!
On to the course and results. This is a private course that partially runs through a vineyard and overlooks the lake. It is beautiful no doubt. I've heard others compare it to a baby bible ridge and I'd say that is pretty on point. The hills are definitely alive at this course so be prepared to zig zag your way up and down the hills and through the vineyards, although you dont want to land in the vineyards, that's just straight up OB. I highly recommend this tournament for three obvious reasons: the course is beautiful, one round a day, and swimming pools to hang out with the other awesome people that come.

We played this tournament on July 28th and 29th. The courses are located in small town Junction, Texas by the Llano river.
This is an awesome weekend filled with great friends, disc golf, and you guessed it...a river. There are 3 courses that you will play over the weekend, one of them being a ball golf course. You also have the opportunity to throw down a mountain for a chance to win a basket and other goodies or a hole in 1 takes home a truck!!!
The county course and north course are smaller, birdie alley style courses. Dont get me wrong, there is plenty of OB to avoid and some longer holes thrown in there but here is where you want to play great, technical golf and get some good scores in, because up next is the ball golf course. The hot round ended up being a 51, with par at 57. There are a few ponds sprinkled in and greens that you need to avoid. This course brings a little more length with a few holes being over 600. Here is where you need to mentally stay in the game, avoid OB and putt like a champ. If you can do those things, you can shoot well here.
