    I echo your thoughts.. when I took a few discs out and threw at the pin locations, I noticed I was throwing at near-max power on most of my throws. I've got a pretty decent arm, averaging around 400 on flat land with no obstacles. I like a lot of the hole designs, but have some concerns about a...

    Headed out here in a bit with some inexperienced relatives. Should be... interesting!

    Oh, and regarding hole 2... the hyzerbomb is harder to hit than it would seem. And now that the fairway has been cleared out a bit, anyone with a big enough arm to hit the hyzer bomb will just be going up the intended fairway. 2 is in great shape.

    THE BASKETS ARE IN!!!

    Last weekend there was a soccer tournament, so it was my first chance (in 7 rounds of playing) to play with people occupying the top fields... To give a gauge of my distance/skill level (if this sounds like bragging or self-bashing, it is neither, just providing some context of WHO is doing the...

    THE BASKETS ARE IN!!!

    Thanks for taking the time to explain you thoughts on #18. I'd be interested to see what some of the higher-end players have to say about the first shot... it's just... so short. It feels non-disc-golfy to shoot a fairly simple 150' upshot from the tee just to take a HUGE RIP from a slanted...

    Buzz, if you get a second, could you explain hole 18 to me. I'm interested in which or how many trees are mando right and I'm interested in how you think the hole should play. I'm currently at a bit of a loss with the current pad placement. The hole plays beautifully if I start about 80' up the...

    I'm intrigued... if you get a bit I'd love to see it.

    Is the spot you're talking about safe from upshots onto 15's basket?

    I've deuced 18, but only twice of 12-15 rounds. I think pads will make a huge difference as I'm a little hesitant to really go for it with the slippery footing and tight early fairway. 3 I basically consider as this: Throw a good shot and then hope you get lucky and it makes it through the crap...

    I think the course is far better than to the point where you'd consider "admitting defeat." I will be regularly playing the course even if nothing changes (except #8, I'll probably skip that if it stays as is). It's hard to not pass judgment on any new course and it's hard to hear anything...

    I like 1 and 2 (one of the best landing areas nature will allow... risk and reward available on the approach AND the putt... a rarity) 3 needs something, maybe just a pad. 17 makes me feel awkward on release, but may be intended as such. 18 is great...with a pad (and now some trimming on the...

    I have some proposed changes to this course that I'd like to run by whoever is responsible for the course. It has huge playability for beginners and pros alike if managed right. Here are my proposals, I'm interested in some feedback from those who have played it. General approach: Add some...

    Here is my mockup of #11. http://imgur.com/mTm1IzV Green = Easy landing zones Orange = Medium Landing zones Yellow = What I'd expect from pros Red = What would be a "great" throw when you include the risk of going in the junk... and should get you a stroke advantage over people in the green.

    THE BASKETS ARE IN!!!

    Replayed the course yesterday from the golds again. You may want to define OB on the score card (are we playing rethrow from previous or from point it went OB?... I know there's some variance here across pro tourneys) A few notes about the second round (I'd love others' thoughts, especially...

    I'd love to help clear out #8 as I think it's a great hole with some slight modifications. I'd like for Buzz to comment here before doing so. Also, am I allowed to take a machete out there?
