How would you throw this hole? Jordan #10

[optidiscic]

Its a famous one...I am sure plenty have thrown it. Do you try to lay up through the tunneled fairway to the big grassy base of hill over 250 away or try to land up the clifflike hill a bit.....dangerous shule that slopes hard to the right of the hill and thick to the left as well on your way up....Do you have the arm to bomb up there from the base or do you lay up....It's real steep and fast..rocky shale ground with a little nook maybe 10-15 feet from the top. Its a damn interesting hole that I have birdied 3 once I usually go par 4 or above here...it is listed 489ft but theres a very very significant elevation gain as you climb the tight elevator upwards! Beware if your driver rolls on that shale hill it can get ugly!

Avenger RHBH to clearing. Avenger RHBH up the hill. Hopefully in place for birdie.

 

[Midnightbiker]

JLS or Leopard to the clearing. Then I would use my Viking or SL thrown RHBH with slight anny to follow the road and finish left near the basket. Putt the Titanic in for the win.

I usually throw a RHBH straight up the gut with a slight left fade so it lands in the clearing past the am tee. Then, depending on the mood I'm in, I'll either RHBH up the hill so it lays up in the middle of the dirt path (safe) or I'll take my Star Wraith and bomb it RHFH and hope for the best (dangerous).

I generally play this hole with a par mindset and hope to get a birdie look every now and again.

TL RHBH I think I could get to the bottom of the 2nd path. Then TL again, should get right by the basket. If nothing else, I am going straight.

 

[optidiscic]

That hill is a lot steeper and higher than it looks in the pics.....I wish everyone could play this hole.

 

[zapplayer12]

Agreed - the pictures don't really compare to the reality of playing this hole. I'm wondering if any of the other people who've posted on this thread have actually played this hole (other than optidiscic of course).

 

[mmyersdisc]

I would RHFH my star firebird (flick/tommy disc) and then tomahawk it up the hill and hope it sticks and then putt...depending on how far away my drive is (with it behind RHFH it should skip up the hill a little bit) I could just try and putt it in if its 60' out...

 

[Omega SuperSloth]

a RHFH with an overstable disc with just a little anny

 

[zenbot]

Millennium Sirius Orion Alternate Mold (S.OS) to the bottom of the hill. Teebird up the hill.

 

[prerube]

I would huck it deep into the woods and say "did you hear the chains". I am faster than my friends so I could run down and yell "yes" really loud. Then find my disc before they come down the hill.

 

[Swisher Streets]

Champion Wraith (Little helix s curve laying up 10 feet from bottom of hill) -> Champion Teebird (Hyzer making it anywhere on top of the hill) -> Cryztal Challenger (Hearin' chains)

 

[Neophyte]

XL for a nice straight shot down the narrow fairway and then depending on how close I am the XL again or my Buzz on approach. If I had two good shots then I would be in position to put for three.

 

[biscoe]

roc off the tee, likely proline leopard for the upshot depending on where the tee shot winds up, could be a tomahawk as well.

 

[optidiscic]

I usually throw a TL off the tee and try to land near the base of hill. From there its one hell of a spike hyzer to the top..I used to try to throw my 150 R-pro boss uphill as it was supposed to be light and stable (good for uphill) and soft enought to not roll to much if landing hard on the slate rocks...well it turned out to be a flippy piece of crap and found the deep woods too often! I usually just pick a driver I'm comfortable with that day and throw 80% and hope for the best....I've never made it safely from base to the top, I can throw over 300 on flat ground. (it can be done but I am not sure what that throw equates to on flat ground) If I am within putting range after that I always go for it because it is better to miss and go long on this hole than come up short! I have gone in the creek to the right of this hole and ended up switchbacking woods to woods up this hill and then missing return putt down the hill to get an 8 and have gotten a 3 on one day when everything went perfect...one of those holes that can really make or break a round!

How far is it from the base of the hill to the basket?

 

[Vegan Ray]

RHBH CH. Teebird low & flat w/ wee fade to the base of the hill. Tomahawk (Ch. Whippet-x or Ch. Firebird, depending on distance) to parked. Drop-in.

How far is it from the base of the hill to the basket?

It's not so much the distance from the base of the hill to the basket but the extreme elevation change from the base of the hill to the basket!

Thats whay I am trying to account for. I have a steep hill at one course I play at that is making me think of how I play it. It is a struggle to walk up but its only about 50' from bottom to top so I hyzer spike my Banger-GT Soft X (Soft part is important because it stays up) if my drive puts me at the bottom which can happen with the trees there.

Actually, hit a tree yesterday and was about 50' from the hill so had about 100' total and hyzer spiked that Banger, and heard chains. Pure luck that I couldnt see the basket but there were some guys nearby up there at another tee that told me it hit chains and just barely bounced out the other side.

I would likely try something like that but with a disc with a bit more range if its longer than 100'

 

[optidiscic]

Well its marked as a 489 ft hole and the drive to the base is not 300 so I am guessing its around 200 ft walk up the hill...but its more of a cliff then a hill! So imagine trying to throw to the top of a 14 story building from the street below.
