In the long position, the first eucalyptas tree on the right is a mandatory to protect teepad 10, i usually hyzer-flip something here to get the distance and avoid it turning and landing OB near basket for hole 9. PD, Wraith, and Destroyer all work for me dependig on wind.

The sidewalk by the building is OB. With the headwind it is easy to end up the right and out of bounds.

I try to make sure to throw something stable rather than try to flip something over.

When it is in one of the 2 long positions on the hillside this can be a formidable hole. If you have the arm it is easiest to go over the trees. Even if you don't, there is typically a headwind that will give extra lift, and may be worth trying out.

Be careful, the olive trees can hold a disc, and there is a bee hive in the trunk of the center olive tree. So if you are going over the top, be sure to aim high.

This hole is a wide open birdie chance but can also turn into a bogie fairly easily.

To run at the basket I throw a 172g Boss up the center at a slight anhyzer. If all goes well it will hit the hillside just as it is turns flat, before it goes to fade: thus hopefully avoiding the roll-away.

A lot of people use the hyzer route which gives you an open up-hill look at the basket. However personally I find it to be a lower percentage shot.

Tip #5
Tip by:DocHaole Added on: Hole:#7
Keep in mind that the path and anything to the right is OB. So going up the gut can be very punishing considering that playing from where the disc first went out of bounds puts you only 50 feet from the tee pad and staring at a double bogie.

My biggest problem with going up the pipe is that there is a pole smack dab in the center, just waiting to punish you for cutting the corner.

I highly recommend taking the anhyzer route. I throw a 171g sidewinder with hyzer angle and aim for the top of the far pine tree. This takes the OB out of play, and with the headwind can provide a good ace run opportunity.

Tip by:DocHaole Added on: Updated on: Hole:#4
When the tee pad is in the longest position the roller is the safest option for a 3 and the only chance for a 2. Don't be afraid to go a little to the left, as long as you get it out there you have an open look at the basket.

Normally the basket is tucked between the trees for a good birdie opportunity. I usually throw a 175g eagle with a slight nose down hyzer angle. I have found that the wind typically lifts the disc up towards the low ceiling and pushes it understable.

I throw RHBH and choose to throw a Sidewinder here, releasing with a slight hyzer and keeping it low hopefully getting over the crest of the knoll and just below the tree branches near the basket. Keep it low is key here.

I throw RHBH and choose to throw a meteor on this hole. Release with a slight anny to the left of the tree. Very little skip and chances of rolling are less with a midrange here. A roll could leave a very bad lie here also.
