A reasonable length for the tighness of the gap you have to hit, the third element you need to consider on 8 is the ceiling (especially that presented by that last tree before the green). Again, I'm rhbh without a blessed arm, so I try to glide flat and straight (RIver, for me) up the gut. I've seen bigger arms sky hyzer in to the green.

You'll want to be left handed, or have a good rhfh, for hole 7. Control off the tee is crucial: better to get to the landing zone with minimal left to right finish than to drill the edges and have to throw from the thorns. The tight, piney green before the basket will equalize a lot of the better tee shots, but some will skip right far enough give a good look at the pin. Me? I'm not good at rhfh, so I'm trying to glide a mid or even a River to the center/right side of the landing zone.

The piney tree line on 6 is about 2/3rds of the way to the basket, so most of us mortals have to try to drill a low, gliding shot that will get beneath, rather than into the canopy. But monster arms do have the sky hyzer over the top here. as a mortal, I'm trying my best to hyzerflip my tern tight and low right at the pin, so it hopefully scoots just by that last pine, and finds center fairway.

Hole 5 plays in tourneys with 'on or over' the road as OB. But again, once you're sure the way is clear, your long rhbh hyzer shot can take advantage of the hard surface for a pretty good forward skip. The trees and rough left are to be avoided at all costs. Lefties have a tougher time finding a decent, long enough line that'l play safely. I'm usually going driver (more OS if a headwind) and going all out to set up my putt/approach.

Tip #5
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#4
4 seems like a repeat of hole 3: same length and type of shot..except! The lane you need to get into is tighter, angles about 60 degrees to the left, and finishes up a small rise, with the basket just past one last tree. You want to fade a shot just over the pine mid-fairway, but zippy enough to glide pretty decently left. But accuracy is key: the rough on all three sides will land you in jail, and kill your deuce chances.

Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#3
The third hole is a much shorter right to left fade, where most of the intermediate arms and above can drop in a rhbh spike hyzer. You can fade a shot in over or even between the two trees, but make sure you're long enough to get past the corner: it's very thick rough.

Hole 2 plays slightly downslope and fades left at the end, onto a green just past some pretty thick rough (also a problem if you go long). Since the next tee is straight ahead off the 2nd tee, be sure the folks who might be waiting there are clear before you throw (better yet, see if they'll spot for you!). I'm not a big arm, but I can work my Teebird (rhbh) to the green on this one, if only I avoid that disc-eating tree...

Tip #8
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#1
In tournaments, 1 is played with on or over the road as OB. You do need to keep an eye out for oncoming traffic anyway, as the most direct line for rhbh players is to aim to the right of the sign. It's possible to go a little wide right and get a very generous skip back in bounds to the left anyway. But get a good gauge on the wind first, and choose your disc stability appropriately. It's fine to be left (downhill), but watch closely if you go too far left: the rough is pretty thick over there, and the 2nd tee is in range.
