Week 3, Another Challenging Week
The hole designers for week 3 were creative.

  • The “double-fan-updraft” for station #2 blew otherwise good putts into bad putts if you thew a fluttering putt or did not account for the air bounce at the 1/2 way point of the disc flight.
  • Waiting as you departed #2 was hole #3. #3 included a tee with a partial tunnel shot and other tee spots that encouraged a hyzer or anhyzer putt to be successful.

Well done to the hole designers (and you know who you are) to come up with unique and interesting challenges!

Thank You For Bringing The Good Equipment!
Dave and Jen Copp
brought a high-quality basket, and so did Nick Stewart. With those baskets, we did not have to use two of my lower-quality, lightweight baskets that are easy for me to transport but don’t catch as well.  Kyle Lieberman brought a backstop net that stopped errant shots from invading the floor below the stage.
