All of a sudden you're out there throwing 1000+ rated rounds every weekend!

Whats your secret, Bruce?  Did you start using HGH? The Cream? The Clear? Practice?

Good shooting, keep it up.
Vibram Disc Golf, Ledgestone Insurance, Paragon and Whirld Sports are all cool. Real cool.

Once Bruce starts adding "Did I stutter?" to his sig, you'll know what's up.....  >:D

Kelsey and I have been lending out our PDGA numbers to non-members who don't want to pay the $10.  Did you really think I drove all the way to Pennsylvania?   ::) 

I don't get the reference to "Did I stutter?"  I'll try googling it. 

[some time later:] Still don't get the "Did I stutter?" reference.  I don't watch much TV. 

Maybe losing 30 pounds and doing some balance exercises have helped.  Maybe donating the dye work on some trophy discs and bringing donuts helped.  But if you toss a coin long enough, the rules of probability say that eventually you'll get 10 heads in a row.  It's only like one to a thousand and twenty-four against.  So maybe if you play enough rounds, eventually you birdie ten of the 14 holes you possibly could birdie, and only get one bogie on the four hard-to-par holes. 

That really describes both of those rounds, except the round at Holly had more low probability favorable outcomes: Hail Mary putts that went in and drives that slipped through the woods on the holes that don't have fairways.

It's pretty obscure unless you've read the excerpts from "Game of Shadows". Or if you saw "The Office" a couple of weeks ago...

I really don't know if it's real, yet, or just a statistical anomoly.  I thought the 950 average for Lansing and Bowling Green was real, and then I played 890 golf at IOS 1. 

I'm going to practice my balance putting on the lunch hour today.  When I play well, it motivates me to practice.
