Post a cool disc golf photo

If you're able to increase the size of photos, you'll see a Navy Seal Team practicing small boat transfers. There are three rubber speed boats, one transferring members, and two trailing the small boat. I normally see teams out here a few times a year, but this was at 10am and a couple hours later than normal. There quiet, I didn't see them playing #8, and only turned around on #9 because I heard the motor of a yacht.

This is Munden Point DGC Virginia Beach, in the left photo, to the left of the rocks and trees across the water is the #9 long tees. I had just thrown a Gstar Tern right at you.

Right photo is #8 Fairway, long red basket with the boats behind. I had played the hole a few minutes before 20 mph headwind par 4, 635 feet I lost my Fission Wave on approach to the left in the river between the two trees. I was bummed, and doubled bogey.

Azaleas are blooming on the home course Munden Point Virginia Beach, only for about 3 to 4 weeks April/May. Holes 2 thru 4 are my version of Amen Corner during this time.

1st photo the pine tree far right, to the left is no. 2 long tee in the tunnel throwing past the Azaleas, the baskets are to the right of me. I'm standing to the right of no. 3 short tee the short basket past the Azaleas left Center about 240 feet. That's a beautiful throw over those Azaleas, but a pine tree hit can put you in the middle of them and a difficult find, and whatever snake may be in there. This time of the year I take the dogleg right around them

2nd photo no. 3 the most beautiful hole I've played this time of year. I'm standing left of long tee, short basket down Fairway in front of Azaleas.

3rd photo trail from no. 3 short basket to both no. 4 tees.

4th photo no. 3 long basket Azaleas within C1. From the short tees 265 feet. I've played with one who managed to miss a dozen pines to get there, but no clue which bushes he landed in, lost disc.

5th photo from no. 3 long basket to no 4 long tee.

6th photo looking back to no. 4 short tee, long tee between the bushes.

Mayapples on disc golf greens, captured on May 1st. Can't recall seeing them this close to equipment before. Course isn't open to the public yet, so less traffic to tramp 'em down.

That cross valley shot looks fun and tricky!

It's a dinker distance-wise, but the challenge of landing your shot on the ridged-green is pretty fun. Though, the mayapples have made it easier to land by being fleshy enough to limit additional ground skip. For whatever reason, the design has produced a bunch of shot-selection fiddling from players upon repeat attempts - e.g. backhand to forehand, trying a different disc etc. I had to give up throwing my Sonic on it because it kept hitting the ridge and rebounding back toward the tee and into the gully.

Development of this hole chewed up a ton of labor time last year and was an initial focus as it ferries users down the hill and into the woods. At first, it was hard for me to beat back the "all that work for a ~150 ft hole?" thoughts, but it's OK to have some ingress/pathway-as-primary-function holes. Also good to remind yourself that you are not representative of every user - other players like juniors love the birdie-ability. Finally, it's a good "gallery" hole due to the unpredictability of action on the green and causes lots of cheers or groans from onlookers. I've got a video slideshow somewhere that summarizes the progress.
