I'll be in Portland from May 18th to 22nd for a work conference - staying downtown. Looking at my schedule, I really only will have free time Sunday (18th) afternoon and Monday (19th) afternoon/evening. I suppose I could be free Tuesday or Wednesday after meetings end at 5, but I figure that's...
That's an awesome ratio - makes you feel loved. I'm at 5.8 thumbs per review and I thought that was really low, since a few of mine only have 1 thumb (still waiting on the elusive first thumb from the lovely Michigan Tech course! :D lol), but I guess it's not too bad. It helps that in general...

Ups and Downs
18 hole course that plays across some open fields and through the woods of a....not quite sure what to call this place - a "tourist destination" in the most general sense?
- Nice setting - you're welcomed by nice, groomed open fields with thick, wooded, "hills" in the background...
Obviously depends on your skills/capabilities/distance/etc. I was thinking a Stingray, as someone mentioned earlier. Assuming once you get past the thick trees, you can afford to go straight at the pin or slight anny the whole way. If the lines are such that you need to come back to the left...
I throw both. DX Teebird for hyzer flips, Champ Teebird for slight flex or straight without fading too much, Champ Eagle for straight with a fairly consistent fade at the end.
Sweet! My home course. Pic "from the blue tee" looks to be almost halfway up the fairway. As tunnel-like as that picture is, it's even more so from the actual tee. Tight alley if you want to go 350' on a frozen rope, otherwise the birdie shot is a forehand (RHFH) that flexes through a gap...
Can't tell if you're trolling or not...
If anything, me posting that example of the '03 blackout is a prime example of how "flipping a switch" causes huge problems to the grid. (Granted, I'm not talking about the same type of switch that is used to "cut power" to a line, but again, I don't...
You are massively underestimating the volatility of the electrical grid. "Killing all power" in one area can have a cascading effect on MUCH larger areas and cause widespread blackouts (The blackout that knocked out the entire Northeast in 2003 was because some jackass in Ohio left a switch in...
As others have said, rubber shoes are not going to save you. Air is not a "conductor" either - bravo to the mention of dielectric breakdown:

And the line that fell was almost certainly not insulated. I'm not sure what you see in pictures that makes you think it's insulated.
A downed line and an outage are not the same. An outage is lack of electrical power reaching a load/customer and is caused by "something" - too many things to list. A downed line is one of many reason that could cause an outage. In this case, it didn't - if there was an outage, the line would...
I can say with certainty that there was no way for a police officer or parks employee to de-energize that line. From the news video, it looks like it was a 13 kV line (or something of that magnitude) that fell - those don't have readily accessible "switches" for Joe Blow to walk up and flip.
You can't - you stay away from any downed power line because you don't know if it's live or not. And you absolutely never try to save someone in that situation. His friend was lucky he got away with his life.
I certainly don't mean to pile on and feel horribly that this happened to this guy...
What's the scoop on this re-design? I visit Nashville every fall for work and I think I remember passing on playing this course the last couple years. I now see that it's been re-designed and updated? What was included in the re-design?
From the pictures, some holes have 2 pars/distances...
