Tip #1
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#18
The final hole on the original 18 is played as a double mando in tournaments, so challenge yourself to follow suit. Because it plays gently up slope and requires a little precision, I'm throwing my Teebird or River at it.

This one's pretty straightforward: 290' and very slightly higher than the tee. My meager arm reaches for my Tern driver. The breezes here might feel different where they swirl a little by the tee, than they do further up the fairway, channeling through the lower part of the 'valley'.

Step forward a couple of feet from the tee and you'll see this ace run basket position (I throw my Buzzz here), but challenge yourself to play one of two tourney challenges: play the path as OB, or the 10 meter circle as an 'island'.

Tip #4
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Updated on: Hole:#15
The main lane down the right side of this last hillside hole looks like there's a tree right in your line at the bend, but a well-executed midrange fade (rhbh) tee shot does have a better than even chance of reaching the green. There still is a good chance of another kick-and-roll to the snow fence, though. And again, Do NOT go over that fence, unless you are part mountain goat. There is also a newer, somewhat cleared 'lefty line', but it actually fades to the fairway about 40' short of the pin, and isn't cleared for a direct line yet.

Yikes! VERY short, but VERY steep, this putter drop shot takes quite a bit of luck. Your best chance to keep it from rolling down to the snow fence is keeping it low and as flat as possible to the slope. And use a spotter down by the next tee to tell you where your 'parked' disc kicked up and rolled to. You do NOT want to fly anything beyond the fence, or you're facing a really tough climb down to the creek (and back).

Tip #6

The third and final 'lefty friendly' hole has a path long that's OB, and the only real trouble area is the thicker trees guarding the basket if you fade too early to the right. Most rhbh'ers would do well to gently anny a Comet up this lane.

Tip #7

100 feet sorter than the last hole, the trick here is to disc down one category, and throw with some precision: the basket is tucked between two guardian pines on the left and an OB path an light woodline beyond and to both sides. I'm throwing my Teebird here, aimed generously to the right (rhbh) to allow room for the fade in park job (I hope!)

Your chance to let 'er rip. I love me some downhill shots from time to time, so if you tipped a football field down a 5 degree angle, what would you love to see getting to that far goalpost? For me, it's Tern all day long.

Tip #9

Hole ten is played with a mando left of the telephone pole to keep throws from going over the chain link fence. That makes this the second 'lefty friendly' hole, and good chance to shape a putter to midrange throw that bends to the right.

Tip #10
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#9
This hole plays slightly up slope through a woods gap, with an OB path out to your left. Not a mando to go out through the woods, but it's still the best line. My arm demands a firm control driver to get to the open green.
