RHBH Teebird - it's a little hard to tell how far left it needs to get, but a Teebird will do it

not terribly far left, in line with the big pine tree directly in front of the left side of the tee.
 
With rough that thick I am throwing my DX Archangel with holes in the flight plate from where a previous owner mounted a light. I don't care if I lose that disc.
 
I don't think I've been back to this course since my first time through. If it is still narrow fairways surrounded by prairie grass, I'm throwing whichever stable disc I'm least attached to on a hyzer. This course is/was more about keeping an eye on your plastic as opposed to scoring.
 
I think this course gets a bad rap. It's flat and gets overgrown in the summer. But it has some interesting holes and makes good use of the land.

Hole 1 is a straightforward Firebird hole. You need to get fairly far left around the big tree. It's an open green as long as you get around. It's on the edge of the course and exposed, so wind could be a factor too.
 
DX Banshee...










I've got lots of them, not a big deal to lose one.
