Course Map


If I remember correctly it plays uphill! :hfive: :hfive:

 

[notapro]

Next time I play here, it'll probably be a Comet over and over until I get a good look at the basket.

 

[Valet]

It's a tough way to end a tough course. Then, you have a nice walk back to the parking lot to think about what just happened to you.

 

[smarkquart]

My adventurous side says I should go TL or Leopard, but if preserving my score is important, being that it is Hole 18, maybe I will go Ion or Judge. I can get those two out there dead straight.

Beat OLF off the tee. If I happen to hit the fairway, beat OLF again. If I happen to be in the opening to get out, forehand a roadrunner straight at it, Wizard until I'm done.

When I happen to not hit the fairway, any assortment of forehands, forehand rollers, pitch outs, etc., to make it to the finish line.

Yuengling in a blue cup in the parking lot, rinse, repeat.

Yep, the first picture and tee shot are definitely uphill. We Rec level arms want to throw something dead straight and keep that one centered, to get you 250' or so off the tee. For me, I have to go with my straightest driver. The second shot, to get out of the woods, is downhill, with about another 250 to get out into the open. Then the finish is slightly up over a rise and between the two disc eaters. Taking four or less on this hole is an accomplishment.

[yangs1]

Opto Fury 2x - Roc3 - Judge

 

[robbrews]

beat champ teebird to start, then buzzz or comet for fairway and finish with wizard or rhyno if i can get a look around those trees next to the basket

 

[goosefraba1]

Leo x3

 

[Jay Dub]

I have 4ed this hole only twice, both within a week of each other and never before or since.

Both times I threw a beat champ Sidewinder with a slight hyzer off the tee. Got it to stand up flat and land just on top the hill a little to the basket side of the mound.
From there I threw a beat in dx Firebird, that landed just outside the trees in the beginning of the sunlight.
From there the same Firebird at the tree to the right of the basket and watched it fade left under the tree and slide/skip within 10'/25' of the basket.
Putt with my 86 Softie.

 

[RUSSELL]

this is what i'm actually going to try next time instead of just considering it:

z buzzz ss x3, soft focus for the drop-in 4

 

[notroman]

Tough hole. The placement of the first shot is so important. I'd throw a DX Roc off the tee, then ideally another Roc, but it sometimes gets breezy once you get to the open, so maybe an Eagle for my second drive.

 

[Scared_Discless]

MD2 at least twice then either a MD2 or Wasp to get around the basket

 

[Ripper]

Teebird then a Destroyer then a Wizard. Drop in 3 all day!

 

[Halcón]

Tangent x4...or more.

 

[Enzy]

GL Core off the tee and then go big on the second shot trying to get it out of the woods with a Leopard

 

[wake_rider]

Gl River, Gl Fuse or Buzzz depending on the spot, KcPro Aviar for the finish.

 

[Qikly]

River up to the gap, Tensor through the gap, VP to close it out.

 

[Disc Fiend]

River x2, then Wizard.
