Inverse Island Hole

[Rucker61]

Is there a name for a hole where the area immediately surrounding the basket is OB, necessitating making a long putt and where parking the approach would be OB?

Inverse Island Hole.

Missed putt OB.

Pool hole?

I believe its name is Mr Silly.

I've actually thought about this....

Watching disc golf on ball golf holes, I often wondered if they could set a basket somewhere on the green, and still play the "greens are OB" rules. That'd definitely make you think your approach shot!

I forget the name of the private course but in New York there was a basket mounted in creek about 6 feet wide.

Hyzer Creek?

Hmmm... maybe... thought it was in New York...

The Spine private course in NC, has a hole that you toss to a basket in the center of a 20 ft pond. Drop zone on the edge. Owner graciously offers up floating disc to toss at it!!!

How do you recover successful putts?

You don't....it is like the 18th hole on a putt putt course.

We accidentally had one like this when hole 1 at Oregon park flooded around the pin last year.

Probably not usually a valid design, but interesting.

Hole #1 at NE lions park in Norman,OK has flat boulders all around the base of the basket. My group play the boulders as OB, the only saving grace is if you touch grass that grows between the boulders you are safe.

Brackett's fountain hole.

Ha I did that one time for Sunday dubs.. I went nuts that week messing with the course, I even moved tee offs.

Easy downhill ace run.. did two circles, one about 6' diameter the other about 40, but I put it off center so if you were less than 10' short on the steep downhill you were more likely OB, if you ran it odds were good that you'd be in the other 30' OB behind.

I put the rotator in play too, I was one of two guys that didn't get Bird on that rotating basket. Haha

Always wondered about the inverse island hole and what to call it.

hole 9 had the basket in the lake

I very much enjoyed both brackets bluff and hyzer creek. My feeling is that private backyard courses are totally allowed some kitschy factor that I wouldn't let slide at a championship level course. Variety is the spice of life n@.

Throw close, you're an idiot?

 

[Steve West]

Anyone who wants to do this should consider making the area around the basket no-penalty OB (806.04 Relief Area). At close range, forcing a longer putt is enough punishment to create plenty of scoring separation.

The pond is undergoing repairs at the Spine. Burt may have it up and going again by now though.
