There aren't enough superlatives to describe how awesome Hoodoo Doubles was yesterday...on a truly
spectacular Indian summer day in October where the temps climbed to a perfect 70 degrees, the course couldn't have looked any better and the tournament couldn't have run any smoother.
I had not played Nockamixon in a long time, and I had forgotten what a truly complete
golf course this is. With really only about 5 deucable holes on the course, the drive / approach drive / THEN putt aspect of the course tests your game simply like no other course in the world. Nocky is really is one of the most challenging and best disc golf courses in the world and has all but spoiled my desire & interest to play deuce or die courses. Furthermore, as opposed to singles competition, which can be a brutal experience on many of the gold level holes, Doubles play offers a chance for competitors to score pars instead of bogeys and actually have a look at birdies on many holes and really appreciate the course for how it is supposed to play. I do not think I will ever miss a weekend Doubles tournament here in the future. Not only did the course play great, but it LOOKED awesome too...the LVDC toiled the weekend before to fix up many of the teepads, and they played so so sweet, and the views of the sailboats out on the lake on holes#6 and #7 is probably one of the most scenic sites in the entire sport of disc golf.
Kudos and thanks to Solt who is fast becoming one of the best TDs in the Mid-Atlantic, Big Daddy's & the Fredericks for having lunch provided on-site, and anyone else who dug teepads, bush-wacked the brush, or contributed in any way no matter how small to this weekend of disc golf. :hfive:
