Trip: July 27, 2025, I took the LIRR to Oyster Bay. The rain was pouring and I sheltered in the train simulators of the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum. I got lunch in Oyster Bay after the rain stopped, and biked a very convoluted 50 mile route to Cold Spring Harbor and Huntington. Then I took the LIRR back to NYC. This is on W Shore Rd. #newyork #longisland #ocean #sea #oysterbay #wetlands #foggy #nature #landscape #photography #darktable

Clean sheet

A first for me 🍻

After the first 8 holes it was shaping up to be the most boring round ever

Somewhere between 8 and 9 I learned how to throw a decent backhand flex and it got more fun

It’s always fun to get out to Oyster Bay, but today was particularly giving — even occasional cloud cover

I didn’t throw great (nose up, timing/no snap) but putting was 🔥

After a disastrous 3-putt from 50 feet on 6, I hit birdies from 25 and 40 feet on 7 and 9, then parked 11

13 is apparently par 4 when it’s long — hit a 30 footer for a bonus birdie. Made 30-35 foot saves on 15 and 16, then a 30-foot birdie on 18 to bring it home 🎯

I went to #OysterBay for the turntable. Its associated with the museum and its usually closed.

My Rabbit round (short tees to long baskets) at Oyster Bay was quite a bit worse than my first trip. From -1 to +5

Everything was great except I couldn’t throw and I couldn’t putt. Saving grace was 50-foot putt on 18 to save par

The good news is that yellow to blue isn’t much harder than yellow to yellow, I just played worse—missed 5-6 putts around 30 feet—and it was windy as hell

I finally gave the Oyster Bay disc golf course a full 18-hole run

Short review: Well suited for beginners and short throwers. An interesting track on a mostly barren landscape overlooking OAK bay

It will be fun to see it in 15-20 years -- the tree plantings look new. It will get *much* tougher when those trees grow

Here’s my mostly “squirrel scorecard” i.e. shortest tees to shortest baskets — full review to follow …
