Straight Line Discs - January 14th - Turner Park

62 is ballin. gj

I heard that hole 18 is a par 6 now that it has been lengthened, according to the course designer. Does that raise the course par above 58 now?

 

[DiscNutt123]

I guess so...last time I played there it was a par 5..

DiscNutt, what is your name? I'm not good at matching user names with faces.

Kevin Bryant. We played the final round at the Lewisville Open together.

Oh yeah! You watched me take a 5 on hole one at LL. And still shoot under?

 

[DiscNutt123]

Haha yeah that hole was rough for all of us...I think I took a 4. The wind was ripping..

The course par is 58 with 18 in the long (par 5) position, it goes to 59, when 16 is in the super long island close to 17's tee box .... But that is a temp position used for tournaments only; 16 is rarely there unless Jim Dart is running the tourney.

The SSA is about 54.9 last time I checked with Jim, and the course record in those positions was 51 last time I checked.

Hope that helps. About the only holes where placing the baskets in the short positions really speed up play are 13 & 18. Other than that, the positions really just make the holes different, but not all that much easier or faster to play because of the mandos & OB's.

At least that's my thoughts having played a lot of minis there.
Plus it'll be very cold first thing Saturday morning .

This will be my second tournament I do have a question do I need a mini disc for a marker or can u flip the disc you throw

 

[Kaufman325]

Marker in any pdga sanctioned event. ;-)

 

[jenb]

You can also use the disc as your marker but only if you do not flip it. That means you can't reuse the disc for the next throw though. But you still need a mini to mark your lie in case of OB or disc above or below the playing surface, etc.

Kim is my cousin and has been playing on and off for about a year. She can get some distance if she has room to flex out her shot but has been working on her straight shots.

Yes. Trophy only for REC. Looks like that person is a bagger and idk if you can do anything about that.

I just started working on my backhand. I am known as "ThumberGirl". Played softball for six year so the thumber throw comes natural.
