Tip #1
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#9
Of all the holes on this course, 9 seems to be most affected by wind. If you step to the left of the tee, you can just see the basket left of the lane you need to hit. So, I throw my trusty star Teebird (rhbh) here on a line fairly firm and flat, out to the right side of the lane, and let its natural fade bring the disc to the 'green'.

Most rhbh throwers choose a disc that will cover the slightly uphill distance out to the right past the tree, and fade left down to the pin. For me, that's my Verdict. Played with a lefty who sky-hyzered his shot here, with mixed results.

Tip #3

With rough and the big tree on the right guarding the (rhbh) hyzer approach, I throw a controlled mid that will turn slightly right and float just left of that tree down to the pin. For me, that's my beat dx Roc. But if you've got a rhfh or lhbh, that would do a better job of taking the slope out of play and make this a real ace run/ guaranteed deuce opportunity every time.

Tip #4
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#6
The huge upslope here puts the deuce out of range for all but the biggest arms, but the recent removal of the pine tree in the middle means a firm driver pull, a decent upshot and a good putt make this a fairly straightforward par for most players. I go Tern, putter, drop in putt for my three. Wish it could be better.

Tip #5
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#5
Because of the tree(s) on the right hand side approach, the gateway to hole five is the two huge tree trunks mid-fairway, so you need something that can run down the slope without a huge fade down the hill. I use my slightly worn CryZtal Buzzz (rhbh) here when I'm feeling confident in my power.

Tip #6
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Updated on: Hole:#4
This tee is actually much further back than the picture here, so it's closer to a 270' hole. As a rhbh thrower, I pull something out on 4 that can run long and low to get up the slope into the area of the basket, while staying below the huge tree's branches. It does need to fade left a little toward the end so that the trees on the edge of the slope don't kick you into a roll down to the OB driveway. Last couple of times here for me, that was my star Tern, but I don't have a huge arm, either.

Tip #7
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#3
The rough on the right and the thorny shrubbery long are the places to avoid on 3, so I throw my Underworld (rhbh) here because it has the right distance at a comfortable power level, and tends to be dependable with its turn to the right. It's OK if it fades out a little to the left at the end, as long as I've put the right power on it to go pin high.

Tip #8
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#2
Big sweeping bend to the left calls for my rhbh fairway or driver with strong ending fade. If you can get (firmly) past the trees on the left side of the bend (even by aiming a little higher than normal (level), you can get up the lane toward the basket. But keep in mind, even the better players rarely do better than a three on this tricky hole. Might be because the stupid tee area is all uneven and tree-rooted. (For a really fun, safer, easier, casual round alternative, tee off from the sidewalk).

Tip #9
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#1
I generally go at this downhill ace run hole with my star Teebird (rhbh) because it has dependable fade to run at it with slightly less likelihood of getting deep into the rough behind the basket. The upslope finish minimizes the risk, as well. Bigger arms might go as slow as a putter here.
