Perspective: RHBH

The Goal: Hit chains in 2 strokes, 3 if needed.

Tools: Very overstable driver (Predator, Force) You could use a Drone here if you wanted by my feeling is that the faster the disc is moving when it hits the ground or a small branch the likely hood for it to keep moving forward is much greater so I personally use a Z Force and it works well. A skip at the end of this flight is very good.

The Approach: This hole goes straight for 150', 110 Degree Dogleg Left for about 60' and then makes a sweeping curve like "C" to the pin about 100' and uphill about 10-12'. In this tip I am going to show you how to stay dead straight allowing us to cut off most of the dogleg, while holding a tight hyzer line in order to give us the best chance at a wide open putt for our second shot.

The Aim: As you take position on the teepad you will notice a big Aspen tree in the middle of the fairway about 100' in front of you in the center of the trail. (Tree is visible in photo 11 and 12, in 11 it's hidden on the left of the fairway, but in image 12 you can see it nearly dead center, it has a bend in the tree part way up) You want to throw to the right of the tree on a severe hyzer release. The idea is to get your disc out past that tree about 40' and then start tracking left... hard. It's okay if you go to the left of the tree, but your disc needs to be moving VERY fast in order to get the distance it needs before finding the ground. Do not try and air this throw out, it needs to be very tight. Close to tree, hard hyzer, thrown very fast, and thrown with just enough height to clear the initial elevation. This leaves me putting for Birdie 50% of the time. The other half of the time I have an easy layup for 3... Don't let this fool you into thinking I convert all those Pars.

Due to the roll-off nature of the green, you will want to be very aware of the wind, your disc, and how you approach the basket. Making a quick run at it because you see a window may result in 2 more shots...

Note: I have just started working on my RHFH lately and this line looks like it would be perfect for a FH shot. It could be kept FAR lower which would mean less branches, and it could be thrown on a Left to Right S curve which would be very nice here.

Hole #4

The hyzers and anhyzers described here are from the perspective of a RHBH thrower.

The hole has a double dogleg. The fairway goes up the hill in front of you and then where the large poplar tree is (the tree you see to the left of the middle of the fairway, just over the hill in front of you), the fairway starts its first dogleg to the left (from the tee, you cannot really see the layout of the dogleg, so when you throw your first drive, it's always a surprise to see where your disc actually landed). After this, the hole does another dogleg to the right which is also uphill.

Recommended Procedure:
Throw a hyzer (I use a midrange disc) for the first drive. Throw it up the small hill before you and then it should curve into a hyzer by the time it gets near to the big poplar tree. It should most likely land right before the second dogleg, and there will be a wooded patch between you and the basket, which you will see at the top of a hill.

Then, depending on where you land along the fairway, you could go through the woods with a finesse shot (I usually use a putter for this) or continue along the narrow and uphill right-doglegged fairway and throw a steep anhyzer. The only problem with an anhyzer from this spot is that it must be thrown at a steep angle in order to get uphill and past the trees to your right, and since it is thrown steep, it will land as a spike anhyzer. And since the dogleg goes uphill, the spike anhyzer will make it highly possible that the disc will land at just the right angle to roll down the hill past the basket or down the hill to the left of the basket.

The problem with going through the woods is that it requires some finesse. There are various branches that are in the way that require technical shots to get past as well as far enough through the trees to get a chance at an eagle putt. Also, there are tree trunks that happen to be in JUST the right spot to make this difficult as well.

I personally go through the woods because I know the course enough to know the good spots to aim for through the trees. So the choice is up to you. Neither shot is easy, and a 3 on this hole is difficult, but it can be done.

The first drive is important, and the putt is important, but the second shot is the difference between an eagle and a birdie, so think carefully about this shot! Good luck!
