Hole #9 tips

This can either be a really fun hole or a really frustrating hole. The woods to the left are JAIL and ending up there off your drive or second shot will usually require you to swallow your pride and play smart by tossing out into the fairway. Being too far right (e.g. close to the road) is also not optimal because the woods on the right block your view of the basket. Plus, there's an annoying little tree that can cause you problems as well.

A medium flick from the tee into the clearing is a decent play, but you have to be careful you don't go OB into the road.

The most effective throw I've found is a nice, easy backhand hyzer with an understable disc like a Mamba. Get a lot of snap behind it and it will turn out into the clearing and then fade back into the fairway, leaving you in the middle and well placed for a decent upshot and a look at birdie.
