Day 1440
Decided to practice the last couple courses on the league schedule that we don't know very well, so we went to Boone & South Fork.
Day started cool, but it was more humid and got hotter than it has been for the past week.
Boone has had a mild redesign in layout since the last time we were there -- now there are new Holes 4 & 5 in the space behind Hole 3 and Hole 13 now combines what used to be 11 & 12. Lots and lots of new trees planted around the course, a great idea that will improve the course in years to come. Overall the redesign is an improvement as the three new holes are tougher and more interesting than the old ones. Terrible signage aside (thank goodness we had a course map) I like this course and with the changes I'll add it to our short "good" list.
We threw well and had fun playing dubs and went 7-down.

Then we went to South Fork. We only went because league is going there -- opinion hasn't changed since last time -- we still dislike the course. It's wide open without a single tree in a throwing line. Several of the holes are truly 100% wide open with no real challenge. Also it's a multi-use course and both times we've visited the creeks are full of people -- some you can see, some you can't -- people are walking on the paths through the course so you have to wait to throw. But people like this 9 hole course, I don't understand, we must be missing something because it's near the bottom of the 50+ courses we've played. We threw fine, but I could live without ever throwing at this course again.
